Pantry Before and After

The pantry project is complete.  Thank goodness!  By removing many of the items, we have so much more room now!  Some of the excess went to the Goodwill. Some in the trash.  And some just relocated to other cabinets in the kitchen.  The end result brings me much joy! A few days ago, I showed in detail the chaos that was my pantry.  (Click here to read more about my pantry  clean up process.)  Let's take another look at some before pictures so we can truly appreciate the after!

And now......drum roll please............

Look at all that extra room!

One of my favorite purchases was the three tiered can organizer. What a space saver!   And it's so easy to see what you have on hand as well! If you don't already have one, you won't regret the purchase.

Previously, things were tossed into plastic storage bins that weren't easy to see through.  The new clear containers allow us to see exactly what is inside!  Less mess and less headache!

 

 

And those labels.....don't you love them?  (Click here to learn how to make the pantry labels.)

 

And here are a few other views of things that were re-organized...  The apron/stool/recycling corner before...

And the after....

I installed hooks to hang the aprons and stool from.  Recycling was moved under the shelves (you can see it under the shelf, right behind the stool).  It is out of the way and surprisingly, we can fit a lot more recycling in there than before!

And the printer and cereal areas before....

And the after....

 

And a few last shots of the after....

 

Isn't it amazing what a little time and effort can do to your pantry?!  I can't help but ask myself why I didn't do this sooner!!
