I hope you all enjoyed the DIY project I shared last week, but it’s time we get back to business. This week, I tackled organizing the pantry. I may appear as if I have everything together and organized already, but truth be known, I don’t!! I am diving into these projects publicly for you AND ME!! There is nothing more pressing than setting a goal and knowing you will be held accountable!
If you are seeing this dreamy pantry photo twice, it’s because my page sometimes cuts part of the “featured” photos and if you are browsing from your phone, you may not even see my opening photo, and this pantry is so dreamy, I wanted to make sure you were able to swoon over it.
With the cabinet door shut, everything stays pretty 🙂 , but open that door up, and out falls a bag of chips :< .
Ok, now I’m slightly embarrassed. I mean you can’t even see what’s readily available. And if your pantry looks like this, thank goodness, I’m not alone. I’ll admit, I am envious of all of you that have a small “closet” your canned goods can call home, not I, maybe someday 😉 .
So first thing is to obviously empty it. Do you know there were two bags of the exact same kind of chips opened?? There 3 bags of different types of tostitos that only had crumbs at best. I purged, boy did I purge. Another good idea is to use the crumbs as topping on cheesy potatoes or another type of casserole 🙂 .Since you are emptying everything out, now is a great time to check expiration dates on canned goods, etc.
I wiped all the shelves down with the LA Totally Awesome multi-purpose cleaner I introduced a few weeks back. I had to be a little creative when coming up with a plan to add items back in. I decided the chips and snacks should remain on the top shelf. The canned goods, soup mixes, and pastas would be easier seen on the second shelf. The third shelf is designated to breakfast, and the fourth is primarily baking essentials.
I did purchase a few more organizing containers, but could use a few more. Do you have a place where you can keep overflow? I keep overflow of canned goods and chips, etc. in our basement. I have a separate small area to house those items, for back up.
I like containers for crackers, because honestly the bags get ripped and they wind up stale so fast. I bought these at Dollar General.
I store soup mixes, baking mix, and pudding mix in these air tight containers. I went searching in my girl’s rooms for their old locker shelves. Of course, I didn’t fine them, but I think they would work nicely for canned goods quite well, making a shelf.
I have had these cereal bins for many years and have always wanted more.
So the bottom shelf is for baking needs primarily. No matter what, it’s a pain to grab from this bottom shelf, so I made sure it wasn’t my most needed and used items. I’m sorry if you were expecting a Pinterest inspired outcome. My “food storage area” isn’t beautiful but it’s functional and that makes me happy.
Even the kids were quite impressed when they came home from school.
I have been brainstorming and I believe I may have come up with a solution to provide a larger space for food storage and use this cabinet for something else. Can’t wait to update you later on. Thanks for popping by <3 .

Good day! This is kind of off topic but I need some help from an established blog.
Is it tough to set up your own blog? I’m not very techincal
but I can figure things out pretty fast. I’m thinking about creating my own but I’m not sure where
to begin. Do you have any points or suggestions? With thanks
I’m amazed, I have to admit. Seldom do I come across a blog that’s both equally educative and amusing, and let me tell you, you have hit the nail on the head.
The issue is something which too few folks are speaking intelligently
about. Now i’m very happy I stumbled across this during my hunt for something regarding
this.
I was wondering if you ever thought of changing
the structure of your site? Its very well written; I love
what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the
way of content so people could connect with it better. Youve got
an awful lot of text for only having one or 2 images. Maybe you could space it out better?
I constantly spent my half an hour to read this website’s
articles or reviews everyday along with a mug of coffee.
I love what you guys are up too. This type of clever work and reporting!
Keep up the wonderful works guys I’ve you
guys to my blogroll.
Fine way of describing, and nice post to obtain data about my
presentation subject, which i am going to deliver in academy.

blog afterward i suggest him/her to go to see this weblog,

Hey there! I know this is kinda off topic but
I was wondering which blog platform are you using for this site?
I’m getting sick and tired of WordPress because I’ve had
issues with hackers and I’m looking at alternatives for another platform.
I would be great if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.

a reader entertained. Between your wit and your videos, I was almost moved to start my own blog

Generally I don’t read post on blogs, but I would like to say that
this write-up very compelled me to try and do so!

Have you ever thought about including a little
bit more than just your articles? I mean, what you say is important and
everything. Nevertheless think of if you added some great visuals or videos to

this blog could undeniably be one of the greatest in its field.
Awesome blog!
