Incorporating effective Kitchen Organization Ideas can make a significant difference in your space. Over the past few months, I’ve been undergoing a significant renovation in the kitchen, and I absolutely adore how it’s coming together. Alongside this kitchen transformation, I’ve also been navigating my complicated love-hate relationship with the KonMari organizing method I started using last fall, which has kept me quite occupied. For those unfamiliar, KonMari is the unconventional approach of discarding anything that doesn’t spark joy, derived from the book *The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up*. I can attest that the experience is truly transformative. All of this brings me to today’s tip on how to organize your measuring cups and spoons. Incorporating effective Kitchen Organization Ideas can make a significant difference in your space.

First, let me tell you what DIDN’T “spark joy” for me. THIS DRAWER:

So when it was time to empty out and decide what to do with it I went back to my Pinterest board: Clever Ideas, Life Hacks & Everyday Solutions for inspiration.

The first thing I did was gather the supplies for my project:

*This post contains Amazon Affiliate links

• Chalkboard Contact Paper
• red paint
• 3 paint sticks (free at Lowes or Home Depot)
• White cup hooks
• New measuring cups and spoons
• Command refill strips

While I waited on those to arrive via Amazon I went ahead and ditched all the ugly plastic ones that were old and gross. I thought about designing a much smaller conversion chart. Thankfully I happen to look on Etsy and found a kitchen conversion chart I liked.

Once everything arrived I:

• Painted the 3 sticks red
• Applied the contact paper to the back of the door following the instructions on the package.
• Applied the measurement conversion chart to the black chalkboard contact paper
• After the sticks were dry I measured how far apart the cup holders needed to be placed to be even.
• I used a nail and hammer to start the hole to screw each hook in–you can only screw them about half way in for the stick to mount on the cabinet.
• I measured where the cups could go and still have the door close. This took a little bit of playing around.
• Once I was sure of the placement I went ahead and put the command refill strips on the outside of the indent over the black paper. and stuck the sticks on.
• Next step was hanging everything and double checking door still closed.
• Lastly I used a silver sharpie to write the measurements above. You could also use chalk or make vinyl labels with a cricut or label maker.

The whole project took less than an hour and using this way to organize my measuring cups and spoons certainly sparks joy for me.
