I was inspired to create this kitchen organizing ideas round-up because soon I am going to be moving into an apartment with a kitchen that is half the size of my current kitchen — there are half as many cupboards and even fewer drawers! Yikes!

Don’t get me wrong, I am excited about the move and entering the next phase of my life, and I am staying positive about the smaller space and using it as an excuse to get super organized and make the best use of the space I have. One thing I have learned while gathering together these links, there are a few supplies I need to stock up on.

Those two items are tension rods and adhesive hooks! I already have a drawer full of the adhesive hooks and am always looking for new ways to use them, but I would have never thought of using tension rods to help organize.

You can bet I will be utilizing many of these kitchen organizing ideas. Which of these ideas will you try?
