Kitchen Organization Tips and Secrets

Summary: Chore centers make organization a snap!
Review: Have read this three times and am buying it now. Originally read when renovating my kitchen, helped me plan logically. It was as if a light went on with the chore center concept and keeping things at the point of first use, not where everything else in that "category" is kept. My kitchen is so easy to work in now, no more extra steps getting things, they're within arms reach!

Summary: Good to read before a big kitchen project.
Review: The first time I read this book, I liked her ideas fairly well but wasn't as impressed as I was with _Confessions of an Organized Homemaker_ or _Confessions of an Organized Family_. However, now that we're planning to paint our kitchen and have to babyproof it, I reread this book with new eyes.

I found the discussion of ABCD items to be very helpful; the concept of work centers was also useful, though I'm not sure I'm going to apply it in quite the way she describes -- our kitchen is so small that it doesn't make a great difference. She has also sold me on "accrued benefits" -- make a double batch and freeze half for later. All in all, it was very useful for me, and I definitely enjoy her writing style.
