Closets – Pantry
.
This year, I want to tackle all the closets in my house. First, my pantry.
This closet is actually “done,†it just needed a little (okay, a lot of) tidying up. I love a closet that has a little color. This closet is painted a pretty sky blue.Â
When I’m organizing or re-organizing a closet, I like to take everything out and start with a clean slate. Since this closet is set-up the way I like it, I was able to go shelf-by-shelf and clear out the things I no longer wanted or didn’t belong there.Â

Doesn’t it look wonderful! I got rid of a few small appliances we don’t use, and I moved items that belong in the garage or in the basement to the garage or the basement. Another problem was food. My husband and I are complete opposites on this issue. I like to have a minimum amount of food in the house. I like to have a few staples and the things we’re likely to eat that week. My husband likes to keep a extra food in case of a severe winter storm or zombie attack. He’s been squirreling away his stash in the pantry, so we struck a deal. He could play a little “Doomsday Preppers” as long as he kept it in the basement. The result, a lovely, functional pantry…at least until the next grocery trip.

Oh boy do you put Mums to shame! Only this morning Mum opened the pantry door and two mobile phone boxes fell on her head! No, I have NO idea why they are in the pantry! There should be a health and safety warning on the door! Deccy x
You are a brave woman indeed! I don’t know if I will live long enough to tackle all the cupboards in my house, LOL.
Your organisational skills are superb – sooo jealous!

I do love everything tidy. When can you come and do my cupboards?:)
Hahaha! I’m like your husband. If ever the world ended, we’d be the house the neighbours break into to feed their family.
I have a list of closets that need to be cleaned out…they may have to wait a bit..heehee…but I feel inspired to tackle them.Love the quote at the end!!

Oh, I am so in love with your closet! I want to do a little work on the one I have upstairs in my studio room so that it’s easier to get to things in there. I love what you did with yours!
How I wish my cupboards looked like that. I start off with good intentions but get fed up half way through! aside from that my main problem is hubby goes through all the stuff I want to throw away and brings most of it back in grrrrrr!!!!!!!!
Love your flowers made on the loom, so pretty.
Wow, you did great!
