It is advisable to have the olive oil inside a dark container so it doesn’t loose its properties :)

Yes, light will break down the molecules in the oil. If the original packaging/bottle is dark, safe to assume it needs to be protected from light. You could still use a clear container just keep in cupboard/dark area when not using.

I love the idea to make organised things decorative ✨✨✨ But a hint to peeps, don’t decant any oil into a clear bottle (or plastic). Ever wondered why olive oil almost always comes in brown\opaque bottles? Sunlight will oxidise the oil if it’s in clear, and that makes it pretty unhealthy from just sitting on the bench. Embrace the amber or similar bottles!!

Olive oil shouldn't be left in sunlight - it goes off. This is why the bottles they come in are coloured glass or plastic. It's better to put it in a cupboard handy to the cooktop. So lovely to hear the word cutlery. I get sick of hearing it called flatware (it isn't flat), or silverware (it isn't always silver). Thanks Kristen, for making my day.

was about to say the same. basically all oil that is bought to have some vitamins and minerals in them we would like them to keep, should be kept without uv light, which is why dark bottles help a lot (it‘s also why most oils come in either dark metal containers or dark bottles with most parts being concealed with a paper wrap). same goes for more expensive vinegar. also some oils like it cold (like 10*C = 50*F), other like olive oil is best at 20*C =68*C. the uv light issue even more so goes for coffee beans as well. so yeah. a nice looking kitchen is awesome, however if the ingredients go spoiled much quicker or loose some of their beneficional traits for cooking, well, it‘s kinda problematic to me at least...

My food motivated cat fortunately isn’t too crafty like that, so keeping the cat food in a cabinet put away keeps him out, but my wife and I do have to make empty shelf space in closed cabinets available when baking because he doesn’t know the difference between cat food and people food and WILL try to eat our cookies. Or cooling custard for cake filling. Or loaves of bread left out, biting THROUGH the bag. Or a sponge/napkin/silicone cupcake cup with a little too much food residue left out. We have to leave groceries in a closed room when bringing them in from the car before putting them away because he will immediately investigate new groceries.

The best that I found so far for cat food is an automatic food dispenser. Not only does it organize stuff, but it also organizes a cat: in the morning a cat no longer wakes me up to feed it. In the opposite - it runs to the feeder 15min before the preset time comes and is waiting for food patiently there. It is also brilliant for 3-4days travel: I can be sure that a cat is fed well while I am away.

@@LetsRockDaHouse Dry food has a variety of grades. Supermarkets sell garbage which is dangerous. In cat store and at vets one can find a good one which has enough protein. Dry food has benefits. I have had 3 cats in my life. The oldest one died last year at the age of 21. A second one is 15 now, the youngest is 6. All of them eat/ate high quality dry food bought from the vet. Dry food has own benefits too: it might be worse for kidneys, but it is a healthier option for teeth. If pets have water available all the time, it works well. All vets whom I have met recommend it.

Just a heads up, I’ve heard that oil will generally go rancid quicker if it’s in a clear jar because it’s exposed to light.

My entire kitchen needs major organizing..... Lol..... Have an awesome day/night everyone.....

Came here to be blown away by organizing tips. Ended up being blown away by the Maserati, Mercedes and hellcat keys 😂

I am soaking up these tips! One idea I would like to add is for those of us who have large/wide shallow drawers next to our stove is to put the cutlery organizer and spices together. When I am cooking, it is so handy to have the spices in the drawer next to the range so I can grab what I want quickly.

Love all the different organizers, especially the flatware organizer and baking set up!

Thank You!!! This video was awesome to show me how to get rid of different cleaning products and put in jars . Changes the look to crisp and clean. !!!

Was ready to reorganize my kitchen to make it more functional and I find your video!! Thank you for sharing, I absolutely LOVE your tips!! Also, with the tea drawer I would use a section for my k-cups!!🤗🙏🏼🙏🏼

I use a kitchen trash can with a foot pedal for my cat food, with a soup spoon for scooping the food out. That way It looks clean, discreet, keeps the odour in and is easy to use. The nicest thing is that the trash can is big enough to hold the ultra large sizes of cat food that I use. And since it's next to the cat food with a label on it, people don't think it's for trash.

Careful with the oil and vinegar bottles to the clear ones. Most oils at least and some vinegars need dark bottles (that’s why they colt in dark bottles) Thanks for the tips ! ☺️

Love the tea organization idea.

I really like what you said about having your counters clean and clutter free

I’m watching this video and organising my new kitchen at the same time 🙈😆 how productive I became in 2021😂 so many ideas, thank you Kristen! ❤️

I've been obsessed with all the organization videos lately. Getting some ideas on how to redecorate my place ^^

Yay~ you made it back to your home!❤️

Thanks for the phenomenal organizing idea for the pet food including the same plain bottles for the containers left out in sight! I’m planning to use these ideas but I’ll be purchasing a clearer bottle style with a nice clean looking metal furnishings to match my kitchen better!!

I put my tea in a tea box with a glass lid. They look good and very handy to use too. Love tea!!!

Lots of great ideas! And I'm so happy to see links to the products you used to organize your spaces!! This is so helpful!

Love your video Kristen! Thanks so much for putting it together. One note is that it's important to keep olive oil in dark colored glass containers so that it doesn't go rancid and gives you lots of yummy, healthy benefits. Thanks again :)

That tea drawer is a thing of beauty. 😂

I love your organization with a stile. I’m your fan Kristen! Please more videos like this and the transformations in decore! Cleaning also!! Thank you :)

I use SAMLA Ikea boxes on my shelving as make-shift drawers. All my Tupperware, baking stuff, etc all in one place and super easy to pull the whole thing out and put on the counter for easy access when putting things away or when baking.

Great ideals. My favorite was the extended utensil organizer

I love that utensil organizer! I will definitely need to get one of those!

My husband and I have a tea drawer AND cabinet because we just collect and collect tea. Using that divider for tea to clear up some of the packaging is a great idea and definitely will use.

Never really thought about using decorative bottles/containers for every day cleaning items. LOVE these bottles..great idea. Thanks!:)

I also bought a nice looking smallish basket for on top of my counter for items that need to go to their correct home in different areas of my home so I don’t have stuff just thrown all over the place and that has helped so it doesn’t t overwhelming we empty that basket each night or when ever stuff gets in it and it has helped my kids remember as well. I’m a single mom of two kids(10 and 5) working two jobs and trying to further my degree. So anything I can do to keep my home or help keep my home a little more organized I’m all about it. I never want to spend more time cleaning then I do with my kids so that has been a good reminder to for me. Thank you for that idea. You learn something new everyday. Haha!

I will say on the spice riser though, I’ve had one for about a year and don’t really like it. I use a lot of spices in my cooking so I always have to try and get ones from the back which cause the front row to fall. I’m hoping to install a slide out drawer instead.
