Type A - No clutter, only keep what you can fit in your cabinets and have a tidyy counter top

Type B - People "think" you have a clutter free kitchen because your counters are tidy, but the truth is you put up more shelves, buy free standing cabinets, add to your "organization" products to accomidate your growing "stuff". You secretly wish to be a type A

Type C - Your counters are untidy, you oppoligize to guests for you clutter and are often caught pondering ways to declutter, but just haven't done it.

Type D - You are a clutter bug and you are fine with it! Pile making is your official hobby and you are proud.



I am a Type B. I WANT to be a type A really bad.
We have a very small kitchen and have 3 kids, 2 dog, and 2 cats. I am pretty organized, but it never seems to be enough in the kitchen. I came to the realization that I HAVE TO become one with my small kitchen....we are not moving for a very long time, so everything I have needs to fit IN our cabinets and the rolling cars, extra cabinets and adjustable office shelving on the walls needs to go. This means PURGE! The problem is I do not keep clutter, don't stockpile, don't have a lot of extras....I need help! I refuse to be conquerred by kitchen "stuff!" Any ideas as to how to handle this task? What things have you gotten rid of that has made a lot of difference and what has not worked for you?

I'm a Type "A", but that could apply to a lot of areas in my life... before I entered the 12-step program for self-professed control freaks, lol!

I am a Type C wanting to be a Type A. It always seems that I clear off the counters and within a day it is cluttered again. I am always always apologizing to guests.

I'm type A. I hate clutter in my kitchen. I have got everything in it's place, there is a place for everything and if it gets put away somewhere else by someone else, I look for it until i find it and put it in the right place. My cabinets and drawers have organizational kits set up in them...I love it. That's part of the reason why I love my house so much!

im a type c and know i will never be a type a.

however - being a type a isnt all thats cracked up to be, i think. my two girlfriends are type a and i always admire their kitchens and how nothing it out, sink is empty.

but when i open the fridge, open the utensil drawer ITS NASTY!!! food particles, crumbs, ick!



yes i have "piles" but one thing that i am consistent in (and i think its strange) is that my fridge is spotless, my utensil drawer is spotless and organized and all my cabinets are perfectly neat and crub/gunk free. so what is it with me???? why cant i get that last 25% done?

Definately Type A...
