I want you to know that I love, love, love my pantry. Up until about 2 years ago, my home was an early 1940's home with NO closets (meaning no pantry, either)! So when we moved into our present home, I was estatic to have a pantry!!
Actually, it's a combination laundry room/pantry (a "landry?").
Whatever you call it, it just makes me happy!
The shelves were emptied and wiped down with fresh-smelling, antibacterial cleaner. (Better already!) Everything was replaced according to category and size.
Canisters from Walmart were labeled for a uniform look. I use the Crock-pot frequently, so it is front and center and easily accessible. The large laundry basket directly above my dryer is very handy!
This room was painted a sunny color when we moved in... it feels "summer-y" in this room, even while folding laundry on a rainy day, like today.
Adhesive labels fashioned on my computer...
Spices are stored in convenient storage on the back of the pantry door.
Wicker baskets hide cans...
Okay, I know I'm a little over the top with my "pantry-love" but isn't it beautiful!!!
Okay, so it took me almost a whole week to finish this (Day 7) of the Challenge I'm participating in over at A Bowl Full of Lemons. But I'm seriously loving the results of the organization in my home and I think the important thing is to continue to move forward. I'm not going to beat myself up because I'm not completing the challenges on schedule. I AM going to be persistent and enjoy the process!
Hope you are all having a fantastic 2012!!!
Ciao, Y'all!
