In my quest to promote decluttering, we're going to briefly turn attention back to the kitchen -- specifically kitchen cabinets. There are many companies and places a homeowner can turn for ideas about how to create clutter free kitchens through the use of cabinet systems, like the ones designed by Ultracraft (http://www.ultracraft.com)

This company out of Liberty, N.C. has upgraded its organizing systems to include a number of innovative storage and decluttering systems as integrated with the cabinets the company offers through dealers and installers in virtually every state, according to its website.

Take Ultracraft's Hanging Trash Bin, for example. It tucks neatly away among your lower kitchen cabinet array and holds two 43-qt trash bins in only 18" of space, and features a floating lid to keep odors inside.

What about those unsightly sponges? Ultracraft features both a wood and metal tilt out tray that mounts just in front of your kitchen sink to hold those sponges and other cleaning tools, wool pads and even your drain stoppers.

Depending on the amount of spices you keep for cooking, you can choose either an integrated under counter pull-out, or cozy drawer based spice organizing system. The UltraCraft Mixer Stand accessory allows you to store your mixer, but more importantly, the tension adjusted springs will help you lift the mixer out with less effort.

The stand is sturdy enough to use while its sitting on the stand in the up position, and a pull out below the stand conveniently stores all of your mixer accessories.

You can move your plates to a low and convenient large drawer base and utilize Ultracraft's Plate Rack Organizer to make them easy to move from drawer to countertop to table. No more reaching, juggling and occasionally dropping plates that are stored up high in an upper cabinet.

And for those who have hard-to-reach under counter "blind base" cabinets, the company's Blind Base Chrome Pantry Pull Out unit helps homeowners access these often wasted recesses without them having to crawl on their hands and knees.
