New kitchen counters and cabinets can be a beautiful thing. People spend thousands of dollars upgrading them to the latest and prettiest styles they can find. But while you can make everything look great, how do we actually make our kitchen more usable? And isn’t that what really matters? Personally, I like to stock up on goods when they’re on sale so my kitchen cabinets end up turning into a cluttered mess. So when I decide to make some spaghetti bolognese and I need to find a couple cans of tomato sauce, it’s like finding a needle in a haystack… not fun.

That’s why I personally really appreciate clever kitchen organizers but unfortunately, they usually come at a fairly steep price. So what’s a person to do? Well, friend, you roll up your sleeves and you get crafty!

Meet Elisa Bernick, household DIYer extraordinaire… today, Elisa’s going to show you how to modify your kitchen cabinets to keep your cans super accessible and organized. And the best part? It’s super easy and very inexpensive. You’re basically taking some wire closet shelving, cutting it down to the width of your cabinet, and then installing it at an angle. And just like that, you’ve got yourself a can organizer that allows you to quickly see all of your cans and easily grab whatever you need! Now you can spend more time cooking and less time searching through your kitchen.
