kitchen organizing

i am very attracted to organization.  i love the idea of it. i love reading about it.  the problem is, that i am not an organized person and i fear i never will be.  who ever said, "organization is a journey, not a destination", is my hero.
i've tried flylady, i have done M.O.T.H(managers of their homes), sidetracked moms.  i like the ideas they present, i just have a hard time implementing them.  a place for everything and everything in it's place sounds like a dream home to me! 
recently. i was at shari's blog and she mentioned the new good housekeeping magazine with jamie curtis on the cover.  i was intrigued so i bought it and loved the interview with jlc!  she is super organized!  she gave me the idea to organize my kitchen a little.  i wasn't using my cabinet space efficiently so i moved some things around and ended up with two empty pullout drawers in one of my lower cabinets!  i then decided to move my spices and baking items from here


it's a corner cabinet where i could easily lose things around the back.  see how there is uneven shelving?   and it's dark back there!


this is much better.  i can reach, i can see, and nothing will get lost in some dark corner.
i could do even better if i put labels on the tops of these, but i'm not that ambitious.  yet.  
credit goes to lisa for encouraging me to take photos of my accomplishment!
