If you are a coffee and/or tea lover, your family and friends know it. That means that you get at least one new mug as a gift around the holiday season (and perhaps your birthday also.) That also means, chances are your mug collection has grown over the years. While you love your mugs – and many have a personal meaning to you – they can quickly take over cabinet space, leaving your kitchen feeling cluttered and disorganized.

My cabinets have definitely filled up over the years. They were stuffed with mugs and I knew I had get a handle on this problem. I hate getting rid of mugs, because most have a personal meaning to me. However, after I donated the ones that I was not attached to, I got busy and got creative with mug holders.
