It is with great joy and excitement that I announce to you: This morning we signed the lease on the completely renovated 1000-sq ft ranch house that we fell hard for a few weeks ago. Even more exciting? Our landlord gave us the keys when we signed on Tuesday, even though we planned for May 1st occupancy. Um, yeah – he’s pretty much awesome.
Now for the planning!
Excited about the fabulous kitchen, I used the text feature of Google Picasa to plan out where all our kitchen goodies would be stored. With this handy guide, settling into this space will be a breeze.

Only one dilemma: where to store the plastic cutting sheets/boards. I just can’t seem to find the right spot. I guess I’ll spend 5 minutes figuring it out once I’ve unpacked everything else.
As for the other rooms – I’m still drafting floor plans for them, but moving furniture around is easy and fun. So I don’t mind if they aren’t figured out prior to the move.
What do you think? Is this over-the-top OCDness setting in? Am I going to far in my pre-move planning, or is this sensible and efficient? I love that not every shelf in every cabinet will be utilized immediately. Hooray for empty spaces and good [supposed] fung shui.


I didn’t any dog/cat treats listed ;)
Good point! I’ll be storing them in the pantry, and also in a cute little jar on the counter :)
Yea for an awesome kitchen with lots of cabinets! Cutting board ideas….I leave mine propped on the counter by the sink. I’m constantly using them (like 3x a day!) so they are always handy. A friend of mine has this: http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/30087148
only flip it over on the counter next to your sink…then you’ve always got a place to chop!
You.labeled.all.of.the.drawers????
Where was Captain Awesome at, so that he could stop this insanity!! :)

You could put them vertically in your Tupperware cabinet. At The Container Store, they have many organizational items to help you. One I found for your problem is:
