The kitchen is an average older trailer kitchen, with some cabinetry, but not too much, and a closet converted into a pantry.
Everything is stuffed, and the shelves are overflowing. I have Rubbermaid storage containers filled with large bags of rice, popcorn, flour, beans and other miscellaneous foodstuffs.

Told you that I'm a packrat.
I have a small bucket filled with kitchen knives, wooden spoons and other small gadgets. My cabinets are filled with food, dishware and other items.
I spend a lot of time in the kitchen just hanging out, but there is so much stuff in there I am becoming distressed.
I need help to figure out how to make this work, to make it simpler while I use down these staples, and support to not purchase quite so much in the future.
Can you help me?
