My pantry was stocked full of stuff---and while it started out organized, over the past 2 years it's become anything BUT organized. Whenever I re-do a space, the first thing I do it completely empty it!
It looks like this in the process....but I have a vision for the end result!
I had all my containers already purchased, so I put them in place for a quick check to see how they fit and find the right place for each one. I did my shopping at T.J. Maxx & Target. I scan the kitchen & houseware aisles first...but know that I can almost always find containers in other unexpected places....like jewelry organizers or shoe boxes :) Yes, for the panty!
I bought the wire baskets at T.J. Maxx for about $7 each!
The glass jars came in a set from Target.
The black Sterilite baskets were about $3/ea at Target.
And the red canvas shoe box was at Target---I'm using it for spice packets!
I also found this great fabric covered jewelry organizer @ T.J. Maxx.
It's going to separate/organize my bottles of spices and seasonings! I love a good re-purpose of items!
And---I tried to find cute containers---it just adds some colors & fun!
Then...I organized everything by "like items"...
PB&J at kids level---make your own sammich, darlings!
Cereal & breakfast items also at child level---
just in case Mommy needs to sleep in every now and again! :)
The baskets are working great for boxed items!
I made labels for my baskets (I was not in love with the black baskets, but wanted to keep the colors toned down do it didn't look like a dorm room make-over...and added a pop of color with the ribbons and tags.
...and I used my Circuit to make these great labels out of chalkboard vinyl!
LOVE!
(Also within kids' reach, of course!
How else are you supposed to create self-sufficient, independent little people?!?!)
