Flat Surface Kitchen Cupboards

Label Your Kitchen Cabinet Doors

Take a label of some sort, self sticking, masking tape, or anything else that will stick on the inside of the cupboard door and can be written on. After sticking a label on the inside of each door, take a felt pen and write the number of the door on the label. If you start your numbering at the upper left cupboard door and work around then go to the lower doors it makes it easier to remember what goes where since it's the same sequence as reading a book.
