Well- I hadn't planned on doing the pantry until next month...but I couldn't stand it any longer! It was like a game of Tetris trying to take things out and put things in. So thanks to some inspiration from one of my favorite blogs
(Brown Paper Packages), I came up with a grand solution...
Here are some before shots.
YIKES!!!
Now you would think with all of this food, I wouldn't have a problem fixing dinner but I do. You can catch me every day about 4 o'clock just staring into the abyss, trying to decide what to make.
Are you ready?
Here is the after shot...
Hooray! I am so happy with how it turned out. Thanks to one of my favorite things in the world (my Silhouette machine), I even have cute little labels for everything.
That is definitely the key to organization...LABEL, LABEL, LABEL!
Makes life a lot easier when I can tell my kids- "It's in the snack bucket!"
If you don't have a way to cute vinyl, you can always make cute labels on the computer. I had to do that on a couple of containers that had holes in them and they look just as cute.
I really, really, really love this.
I just finished it today and funny thing, I was still standing there-looking into the abyss at 4 o'clock this afternoon- but it was for a different reason.
I just couldn't get enough of looking at my new, beautiful pantry.
Aah, organization- it's a beautiful thing.
Makes a mommy happy.
Now if we can keep it this way for longer than a week. :/
BTW- Here is a link for the blog where I received inspiration for my pantry. Maybe you can get inspired too!
Happy Organizing everyone!

Looks great.
ReplyDeleteI think it's funny when you get something organized in your house it seems like all you want to do is stare at for a long time. It is amazing how something like an organized pantry makes us feel good. Remember when it was looking at David Judd or Rick (what his name) that made us feel good. We have definately turned into mothers.
ReplyDeleteIt looks great. I am feeling very jealous right now because my pantry is a mess!!!! I just have to wait for my mom/dad to move out and then an organizing I will go. I can't wait!!!!! YEAH!!!
How funny to read this on your blog because I just finished cleaning out and organizing my pantry yesterday. I LOVED the inspiration pantry you linked to- I had it bookmarked for ideas too! I really wanted to do a decorative wall like hers, but it wouldn't be done quickly, and I needed this to be done for my sanity (I have been meaning to get around to organize the pantry for over a year now- how sad is that?!) So I say horray for an organized pantry! I keep staring at it and I love it!
ReplyDeleteIt looks so good! Now I'm itching to get home and get mine all organized again...
