WARNING!
Pantry in Progress
_____________
BEFORE
We have a VERY LARGE pantry! It used to be the outside workroom, but we enclosed it for more pantry space. And do you know what happens when you have more pantry space? You have MORE STUFF! ugh! I am very excited about this little endeavor, though! I can feel it in my bones that it's going to be great!!
The first day, I...
took everything off the shelves
threw things away!
swept and mopped under the wire shelves
(that is what's great about rolling shelves!)
starting categorizing
washed food storage buckets
starting putting things back!
I'm half way there...
______________
...the next day
I went to the dollar store and bought these great little baskets to keep all of the "lunch stuff" in. Now, when I am preparing lunch boxes in the morning, I can just grab and go!
One of my biggest complaints to my kids is that they NEVER shut the cereal boxes! So, the solution to that is these great Rubbermaid containers from WalMart!
Some more containers for the crackers and cookies
I couldn't find a good bucket to store the chip bags in, so a laundry basket will have to do in the meantime.
I printed off the labels for the small green baskets onto scrapbook paper. I labeled my snack/cereal containers with vinyl lettering.
____________
the next day...
I organized my food storage.
I put everything back together and even added a cute window.
AFTER!
remember the before?
I think my Mission is Accomplished!
How have you been doing?

Looks great! I think that's the biggest pantry I've ever seen!
Great job! Very well organized.
Inspiration. My wire shelving turned into a catchall and I am on a mission to toss and organize. Where did you get your wheels? I like them as they look smaller than the ones I saw at Lowes.
What a big pantry! It looks great. Love the organization.
I love it! It's such hard work organizing a pantry! I will say that using the laundry basket for a chip container is a fantastic idea. It's easily cleaned and it's big enough to hold all the warehouse store quantities!
KILLER LARGE PANTRY NO. 1! you did a fab. job. I love it. I so want to buy bins and cereal containers and use my cricut for labeling and start re-organizing my pantry. However, mine isn't as huge as yours. ENJOY, WELL DONE! Jen
That looks great!! I love the vinyl letters.
I'm drooling over the size of that pantry. Everything looks great - I think the laundry basket is a fantastic idea!

Your pantry is awesome, especially now that it's so neat and clean. I'm jealous.

I am jealous! I have basically no pantry and can't stock up on things because I have no room.
