Pantry Project: in Progress

Last week I got some organizational mojo, and started with my junk drawer. I didn’t take any photos of that, but it felt so liberating that I moved on to my pantry.

Before:It was a mess! There is some actual food in there if you look closely, but it had become a big dumping ground for junk. I spent a couple days hauling the kids around to several different stores looking for baskets. I started at the thrift stores, but wasn’t finding what I wanted. In the end, I settled for white plastic Sterilite bins from Walmart.

Then Saturday I ran into Walgreens for something and discovered they had baskets, on sale, no less. We spent Saturday afternoon driving around to every Walgreens in a five mile radius to find enough of the particular baskets I wanted before the sale ended.

After:

Still to do: label the baskets, hopefully do something about those wire shelves, and reorganize the hanging pocket organizer that’s on the back of the door (I hid it from you).

Now when my sisters get here at the end of the week, they will think I'm the organizing queen!
