Pantry makeover
As a family of five with three hungry kids having an organized and functional pantry is crucial to my daily routine. But over the years, my pantry had become a cluttered mess of half-empty bags and random items scattered about. I knew it was time for a pantry makeover, and I was excited to get started.
The first step was to empty everything in the pantry and assess what I had. I was surprised by how much-expired food I found, and I quickly tossed anything that was past its prime. With a clean slate, I was ready to start fresh.
The first thing I did was give the pantry a fresh coat of paint. I chose a light, neutral color that would make the space feel bright and airy. It only took a few hours, but the transformation was incredible. The pantry looked so much cleaner and more inviting.
Next, I added a few decorative touches to make the pantry feel more personalized. I lined the walls between the shelves with colorful contact paper, which added a pop of color and pattern to the space.
Next, I turned my attention to storage. I had been using a mishmash of bins and containers that didn't fit together, so I invested in a set of matching clear plastic containers. They were perfect for storing things like pasta, cereal, and snacks, and the uniform look made the pantry feel more cohesive. I also added gray baskets to contain the rest of the loose items and make better use of the space.
Overall, I am thrilled with how my pantry makeover turned out. It may seem like a small thing, but having an organized and attractive pantry has made a big difference in my daily routine. I no longer waste time searching for things or dealing with expired food, and we all enjoy our refreshed organized pantry.
If you're considering a pantry makeover of your own, I highly recommend it!

Pantry Organization ideas
Keeping a well-organized pantry can be a game-changer when it comes to meal planning and preparation. Not only does it make finding ingredients easier, but it can also save time, reduce waste, and make your kitchen look and feel more organized. Here are some tips to help you organize your pantry:
- Take everything out of your pantry: The first step in organizing your pantry is to take everything out of it. This will help you see what you have, what needs to be thrown away, and what needs to be restocked.
- Categorize your items: Once everything is out of the pantry, start categorizing your items into groups such as canned goods, pasta and grains, baking supplies, snacks, and so on. This will make it easier to find what you need when you need it.
- Use containers and labels: Invest in a set of clear containers and label them with the name of the ingredient inside. This not only looks great but it also helps you see when you're running low on a certain ingredient.
- Keep the most used items at eye level: Keep the most used items such as cereals, snacks, and condiments at eye level so you can quickly grab them when needed.
- Use the back of the door: If your pantry has a door, you can use the back of it to hang small shelves or organizers for spices, snacks, and other small items.
By following these tips, you can keep your pantry organized and make meal planning and preparation much easier. Remember to always keep it clean and tidy and you'll be amazed at how much time and energy you can save in the kitchen. Below are some of my favoirte items I use to keep y pantry organzied.
