Tips for Organizing your Pantry:

Remove Everything and Clean
To start remove everything from your pantry (even if you know you're going to keep it). Throw out or donate unwanted food, consolidate snacks and only keep the essentials. Clean the shelves thoroughly and perhaps think about painting or wallpapering the inside of the panty.


Take Measurements and Plan
Measure the depth, length and height of your shelves. Visit the Kitchen Stuff Plus website and determine which container sizes correspond with your needs. Do you need containers for pasta? spices? Baking confections? Cereal? Other food? Keep in mind not everything will require a new container.


Purchase and Layout Containers
Once you've confirmed your plan it's time to put it into action.  Purchase your containers. Give them a rinse. Place them in your empty pantry as a trial run. Test out different locations. Step back and take a look. Once you've confirmed their placement you can fill them and start setting up your pantry.


Finalize your Pantry and Enjoy
Place the rest of your food back into the pantry. Again adjusting as you go to ensure optimal space is used and it is pleasing to the eye. Enjoy your pantry and have fun cooking!



I'm really happy with the way this turned out. It reminds me of a tiny store in my kitchen. Be sure to check out the other bloggers in the Modern Handmade Home Series Thalita from The Learner Observer, Lindi from Love Create Celebrate and Colleen from Lemon Thistle.
