Average Jane Starts the Kitchn Cure

I haven't had any time at home in the evenings this week, but I managed to get a total of three cupboards cleared out over the weekend. I picked the easy ones first, but it's been so satisfying that I need to share my minor amount of progress. Please don't laugh at my horrid '50s cabinetry!

Here's the "Before" shot of the cupboards we use for baking staples, crackers and cereal:

And here's what it looks like now:

You'll notice that I threw away most of what was in there. Actually, the stale food went in the yard so the birds and squirrels could have it, and I moved the nutritional supplements elsewhere.

Here's the "Before" shot of the cabinet I use for cups and glasses:

With a little tidying and the addition of the lazy susan you might remember from the "Before" shot of the previous cabinets, voila:

I should have plenty of time this weekend to work on the rest of the cabinets. My Flickr set of horrible "Before" shots is here. Here's the Kitchn Cure site again - today's the last day to sign up.

Anyone else doing this and making progress?

Cor, I'd have to get up with an awful lot of energy and vigour to even attempt a kitchen tidy of that magnitude.
