Kitchen Rejuvenation

The center island is disorganized and serves as a catchall rather than a place to prepare food. As for the rest of the kitchen-counter space, there is not a bare spot to be found.

The bakers rack serves as yet another catchall area.

The Kapulskeys need help getting organized, and who better than Betsy's own mother, professional organizer Cindy Link? She has done this before for Betsy and Scott, but they have always reverted to their old ways. This time they say they are serious.

First thing's first for these self-proclaimed pack rats: Sorting. Betsy and her mom are in charge of tackling this project. They empty each and every drawer and cabinet, grouping like items as they go. During the process, they come across several examples of duplicates. Betsy admits if she couldn't find something, she'd just buy another.

Once that's done, Link suggests that they hold a garage sale as part of organizing/cleansing process. She also points out various spacesaving slideout bins, racks and shelves that can now be installed to maximize the storage areas.
