I think the biggest reason kitchens get disorganized is because they're never really organized. It's very rare when someone actually sits down when they're putting a kitchen together and really thinks about how am I going to use this space? What makes the most sense for what we're going to put in it? I think we just generally move into a house and we just put things away and there are certain cabinets that make more sense for certain things than other things, but there are things we can do with those cabinets that I think help kitchens get organized. I also think kitchens get disorganized because many people use them. It's probably the one room in your house that's used by everybody who lives in that house. So people use things. They don't always put things back where you would hope that they would or at all. Things get lost almost in the shuffle and it just becomes really hard to keep and order to them so I think that's why it's hard to keep an organized kitchen.
