- Where would you like to begin? Everything's labeled so--
- All right. - Bread goes in here. - I don't wanna start with the bread. - Okay. (laughs) (upbeat music) Hey guys, what's up? It's Raven, welcome back
to my mom's kitchen. We are here for another
home organization video. If you guys did not see the last video that we did over here, we actually organized her pantry, small pantry organization ideas. I've also done my pantry back at my house, but today we are going to be
tackling her refrigerator. And I know this is gonna sound weird but this is actually my
Mother's Day gift to her. My mom has really been wanting
to organize her refrigerator and create like a really
aesthetic, like Pinterest fridge. She's like always sending me inspiration pictures on Instagram. So I thought it might be
a fun Mother's Day gift for me to gift her with all of the little organizational bins and everything that she might need to create her dream refrigerator. So the goal is obviously to organize it and make it look super
pretty and Pinteresty but also have it be super functional so that it stays organized. So we are going to take
everything out of the fridge, wipe it down, clear it out,
put everything back in. We've got all types of containers
and labels and fun stuff. So hopefully we get a really nice result. Okay, so here we are at
my mother's refrigerator. She has a--
- KitchenAid. - KitchenAid 3000. Do you know what it's called?
- No. - This type of Kitchen Aid that has like the two doors on top but then also has two drawers right here, refrigerated drawers. And then it has a lower freezer drawer. So she has a fancier fridge than I do. And there's lots of little
compartments and whatnot but currently it's just kinda... The food is just kind of shoved in there and that is why she wants to organize it, so that it has more... Well, you tell them why
you wanna organize there. - Because thing are always getting lost, I can't ever find what I'm looking for. I don't have room to put
away all the groceries, when I buy groceries and I'm just hoping to reorganize it so that it looks pretty and that it's easy to keep organized. (upbeat music) So our fridge is clearly a hot mess. And the first thing we need to do is take everything out of
it and wipe it down, get it all clean, and then we can get
started on the fun stuff, which is putting everything back in. - Is that the fun part? - Yes, I can't wait.
- Okay (upbeat music) You might be wondering why my mom has so much stuff in her fridge when only two people live here. - We eat food.
(Raven laughs) Well because you have family over often, you like to cook stuff. - I like to cook. - You like to cook from scratch. - Everybody's working at home,
they have to eat at home. - This is why I wanted to do
this video with her friends. Not only because she
said she wanted to do it but if we did this with my fridge, it would be disappointing because honestly, I don't
keep a lot of ingredients and fun stuff in my fridge. (upbeat music) Running out of space to put the stuff. (upbeat music) One lonely cherry. (upbeat music) Last bowl, finally done cleaning out just the fridge part. (upbeat music) - Fun fact. The number one requirement when I was searching for in a fridge is it had to be easy to clean. The parts had to be
super easy to take out, put in the sink and get really clean. - All right now, if you
saw the pantry video, this should look somewhat familiar. I think this is even
worse than the pantry. This is all the stuff we
took out of the fridge, it has taken up every square
inch of countertop surface. All this stuff, all this
stuff, and all this stuff. (upbeat music) - TMZ exclusive! (both laugh) Look how much of a slob
Raven Elyse's mom really is. - It wouldn't be a Chef Toni
project without cricut labels. So I'm labeling a couple
of bins in my fridge and a few bins that I'm
going to use for organizing. And I've decided to
put them in the corner. (upbeat music) Now, we're gonna put the
bins back in the fridge. This is a little tricky, they're
not smooth and satisfying so, don't blame me. Boom! I actually have a diagram
I want to share with you. You can't take on a project
like this without a plan. So I have a plan of how I
want everything organized. (Raven laughs) - See? It's not to scale. (Raven laughs) What's that? And then this is way up here and still have space for a whole juice? - Like I said--
- Oh! - It's not to scale but it's gonna work. Let's put the other part
in here that goes in here. Boom! Okay, now that the fridge
is all cleaned out, I really want to see how
the bins that I bought and put labels on are gonna fit before I start putting
everything back into the fridge. - The bins that you bought? - With the money. (both laugh) I may have to rearrange the
levels of some of the shelving. So that's why I wannna do that first. I want them to be stacked. (upbeat music) You can use these containers
with the lids or without them. I'm probably going to use them without. I got these containers
from Bed Bath and Beyond. These and these. These containers came
from The Container Store. I love these containers. These are the same as these but they're smaller and narrower. Because you can use them with
the lids, without the lids, you can stack them. But what I plan to do with these, did you see how much of a hot
mess this fruit drawer was? Behold! (upbeat music) So right now I'm just
rearranging everything so that my containers fit. I plan to refill these, to go here. So I just want to make
sure I have enough room. (upbeat music) I bought these bottles with the intention of using them for my most used condiments. So I labeled each one with what it is, with my cricut, of course. And before we finish this project, I'm going to refill these bottles from, where's all the condiments? - From all these. - All this hot mess over here. And the reason why is not only because, you know, it looks prettier, but I can fit more of these on the shelf because they're square. And some of your condiments like, you might have a barbecue
sauce, that's that. And it takes up a lot of room. Another thing I have, ta da! I bought these with intention
of using them for meal prep, for leftovers and sometimes
for vegetable storage. I'm going to take these out because I know there's some leftovers, I have to transfer into these containers. Typically, the leftovers are
in all kinds of random plastic. I really want to move away from
using plastic for leftovers. Plastic and odd sized containers. And what I love about these
are that they're square and they're stackable, and they're glass. They're going to last a lot longer than your typical leftover containers. These containers are from IKEA. Now, the objective is to
start putting things away with my new organizational system here and to see if everything works or if I need to move some things around. - All right, so she's got
her vision mapped out, take the containers back out, fill them up and start
putting stuff in there. (upbeat music) I would like to go on record and say that I'm not sure that this is going to be functional, but it's very cute. Where would you like to begin? Everything's labeled so--
- All right Bread goes in here. - I don't wanna start with the bread. - Okay. (laughs) (upbeat music) These are limes in their
nice little section. Look at these tangerines. Little cuties, in their own section. (upbeat music) So we've got these three and then this one is labeled for bread. - Now the buns are there,
the bread is there. (upbeat music) Bread ain't in this. Oh, that's the wrong one.(laughs) That was the cheese box,
this is the bread box. (upbeat music) Bread. Bread. Cheese. (upbeat music) - So this condiment bin is for things that don't go on a shelf. (upbeat music) These berry bins, you can
actually rinse your berries and use this as a colander Rinse them here or you
can rinse them there, it doesn't matter. These came from Bed Bath and Beyond. And they are also stackable. (upbeat music) The next thing I'm gonna put away since it doesn't really need
much organizing is my drinks. On the top shelf, I put the
unopened stuff towards the back. I want to put my eggs
back where they belong. This is not supposed to be an egg bin, but I like to use it as a bin. So down here is where I
keep my eggs and my butter. (upbeat music) Now, I'm gonna put my veggies up. I don't like to put this lettuce in here because it always gets stuck. Now I've got plenty of room to keep that tall lettuce right there. (upbeat music) Down in this drawer,
I like to keep onions. Even though I know you don't
have to refrigerate them. (upbeat music) I put divider here. That will keep certain things on that side and certain things on this side. Boom! (upbeat music) Deli tray, I keep bacon, sliced cheese, shredded cheese, shredded cheese, wieners, tortillas. I also keep cold ginger ale here, I don't know why, but it works. Next is this door, is where I keep mustard, mayonnaise, ketchup. You always need to have these things handy for your sandwiches and
french fries.(laughs) I'm not going to put these in decanters because it just works better
to come out of the squeeze. Oh, I've already started
using some of my new IKEA because when I open up
a package of vegetables, sometimes we don't eat
them all at one time, so I can just put them here and they are available for me to eat. Same thing with this like, does it makes sense to put this
big old thing back in there? No! I just couldn't eat it all. So what I'm gonna do, get one
of these, dump the spinach in. Otherwise, it would just
be taking up a lot of space and I need my space. Boom! Stackable. Oh, I love the way this is coming out! Something I should have bought a bin for that I like to keep this
stuff together is dairy, like sour cream, half
and half or heavy cream. For now it just has a spot right there, along with butter in the butter dish. We got some leftovers, yay! Let's do something these leftovers. - And what's that? (laughs) Where there is Chef Toni,
there is wine.(laughs) (upbeat music) So no more mismatched,
leftover containers. Everything is gonna be
all matching and cute and eco-friendly. (upbeat music) Mh, baked beans.(laughs)
- Yeah. And also, I forgot to mention, but in case there's a little
bit of leftovers like this, this is for smaller amounts
of leftover condiments. Like this is getting thrown out because it was leftover
coconut milk and it went bad. In fact, I probably should
have put the beans in there. I made some salsa the other day and put some homemade salsa. I bought some dates. There's a big awkward container gonna take my dates out of this container and put them in here and I don't have to guess
what's in this container, I can see it. Put it in the fridge, infact,
I'll put those back there. Because I wanna eat leftovers first. What I should do, as I'm
cutting up vegetables, is just to cut up the whole thing, so I don't have to use plastic to put a leftover piece of bell pepper in and then I could put those
prepped veggies in these jars. The next time I'm ready to make a recipe, it's already chopped and ready to throw right into the recipe. I'm actually going to put
the green with the red. And that'll make cooking my
meals a lot easier next time. Same thing, I don't have to
do this to the onion anymore. (upbeat music) I mean, I'm going to use
it within the week anyway. I might as well just get all
the chopping done at once. (upbeat music) So a last thing to do for the
fridge is to recant, decant. Change the bottles for my
sauces that I frequently use. That I wanna have in these
cute little labeled bottles. And I'm gonna start with
the Worcestershire sauce. - So my fear is that some of these things you might wanna wish you
were able to squeeze it to get it out. Also the opening, because the normal
Worcestershire sauce bottle has that little thing on
it so it only drips out. But this is gonna pour out. So just for those of you watching at home, keep in mind how you
like to use your sauces, and what kind of bottles. - If you like to shake
Worcestershire sauce on steak, grrr!
(Raven laughs) - Then this might be your problem. If you just use it in recipes
and you're measuring it out, this is not a problem.
- Oh , yeah. Where did you get these from? - I got those from The Container Store. (upbeat music) Soy sauce, hot sauce. (upbeat music) Foolish girl, foolish, foolish, foolish. - The price you pay for aesthetics. You have to do this. Every time you get a new jar of hot sauce, you have to do this.
- It's not often. It's not often. Now I got to rinse hot
sauce off the outside of it. (upbeat music) Recycling. (upbeat music) So now we're ready to put the
bottles into the refrigerator and this project is almost a wrap. Pow! I like it. (upbeat music) I think that's it for the fridge. This is real life groceries. I just bought groceries today. And did you see how those groceries
barely fit into my fridge And now, look at how
those beautiful groceries fit into my fridge. Mhh!
