I Love Pantries
Why do I love pantries so much?
I love organizing pantries so much because I’ve always felt that the kitchen is the heart of the home. It’s my happy place, and I want to make it yours too! We spend so much time in our kitchens through out the day that we need to make it a priority! You should love being in your space. I can help you make it pretty as well as functional. I look back fondly, to the years when my kids were little, of cooking and creating good meals for my family. I've always loved cooking for large groups, after all I am the oldest of seven, I can do it with my eyes shut. Like my Grandma, feeding people is my love language. So naturally for me, creating a functional yet pretty space in any pantry is a must.
How I organize a pantry.
If you follow me on instagram you know the drill by now.
Take it all out. By taking everything out of the space, you will touch and see it all, forcing you to decide if you want it, need it, and/or use it.
Next step is sorting. Sort like with like. Check expiration dates during this process. I put all the baking together, all the lunch items together, all the snacks together and so on. If I had a quarter for every time I heard "how did I end up with five of these?" I'd be rich.
Now create Zones. Here is how I zone my pantries: Breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, eat first (snacks), baking, paper goods, cleaning supplies (if applicable). I use the top shelf for large items that aren't used very often.
Next, choose your favorite organizing supplies. Mine are Oxo brand containers,baskets,bins, lazy susans , can stackers, and labels.
Lastly, use floor baskets help hide clutter. I use big floor baskets for paper and plastic sacks, lunch boxes, cleaning supplies, paper goods, and Costco snacks.
Now, it's time to enjoy!
That's it! That's my pantry formula! I'd love to help you organize your pantry too! Did you know I do virtual organizing? It's so fun and easy. We FaceTime for forty five minutes and then I send you a detailed to do list and links to all the products. It's that easy.
Or if you live in the DFW area, I'll drive straight to your house. I also travel! Send me a plane ticket and I'm there! We will have fun, I promise. Is redoing your pantry on your to do list? I'm ready to help you today,Lisa Instagram Facebook Pinterest
