Patiently dealing w/ clutter

This is today's view from my kitchen.

This is what I'm faced w/ for the last week. I tripped on paint can and banged one of my toe nails. Now I have a hanging toe nail. AGH! All this mess is driving me batty, how do you ladies do it? give me some tips... =)

I'm hoping for something similar to this...

Simple clean lines. I'm lourving the white clean look. I know it'll be hard to keep up w/ a 5 yr. old running around, but it's worth try for me. =)
