I actually had a pretty ruthless clear out of kitchen stuff when we moved a few months ago the only bit of the house that did but the pantry and some of the freezer are starting to get messy which implies to me that a) there's probably still too much stuff in there and b) I probably don't have the optimum way of storing stuff in there either.
Violetta and others, my spices are stored lying down in ikea spice trays in one of those wide, thin drawers that are in fashion at the moment. The main problem is that they don't all fit in there though, so I also have some in my corner cupboard (but have a rotary thing in there so easy to get at) AND in the pantry. Mostly those are bulky spices rather than powders like in my drawer. I think might try to group those two lots together in a plastic tray and put them all in my corner cupboard so at least they're all in one place.
For the pantry I bought some stackable plastic drawer units which I've mostly used for keeping my baking supplies in. They work quite well as they just pull out so you can get to what's at the back of them, or for those on a slightly higher shelf I just pull them out completely to have a root around. But again, i think there's too much in them generally.
Totally agree IQueen about your take on the minimalist blogs. No way I'm getting rid of my wok. I do have a range with a special wok ring on it though, and my wok isn't taking up too much space, AND it makes me smile so much when I do actually use it. But it's good to think about things in that way. I got rid of my bad machine years ago when I realised that because the loaf always got stuck to the inside as it baked I ended up just using it for the mixing and proving and then I put the loaf in the oven anyway. What an idiot! Started doing the kneading in the KitchenAid and sold my bad machine to my colleague (who by all accounts was over the moon with it).
Sorted the baby clothes I was thinking of keeping this morning and ended up sorting them, photographing then and I'll be posting them on my local fb selling pages later when I get on the computer 
I have a box of mementos for the boys (that also needs going through) but apart from their coming home outfits it's not really the clothes that I really feel the most attachment too. I also threw away my breast pump that's been sitting on the side for a week to be washed up, after sitting under my desk for the last 6 months or so at work. I think I can accept now that I don't need to do any more pumping, and the poor thing was pretty knackered anyway. I gave it a long eulogy and a hug 
then into the bin it went (I may have apologised for that as well). That inspired me though to go and get all the avent pots and bottles that were still hanging around and put them in the charity box but I've just thought the pots would make good paint pots for dc so I'm going to fish 5 or so out for that and put them with the art supplies.
I've also somehow managed to lose 0.3kg this week (so on track-ish for my 15 in 15 challenge - 15 kg in 2015) 
If anyone wants to join me I'm on mfp as Fenouille.
