Pantry in Progress

(maybe I should have said)
WARNING!
Pantry in Progress
_____________

BEFORE

 We have a VERY LARGE pantry! It used to be the outside workroom, but we enclosed it for more pantry space. And do you know what happens when you have more pantry space? You have MORE STUFF! ugh! I am very excited about this little endeavor, though! I can feel it in my bones that it's going to be great!!

The first day, I...
took everything off the shelves
threw things away!
swept and mopped under the wire shelves
(that is what's great about rolling shelves!)
starting categorizing
washed food storage buckets
starting putting things back!

I'm half way there...

...the next day
I went to the dollar store and bought these great little baskets to keep all of the "lunch stuff" in. Now, when I am preparing lunch boxes in the morning, I can just grab and go!


One of my biggest complaints to my kids is that they NEVER shut the cereal boxes! So, the solution to that is these great Rubbermaid containers from WalMart!


Some more containers for the crackers and cookies


I couldn't find a good bucket to store the chip bags in, so a laundry basket will have to do in the meantime.

I printed off the labels for the small green baskets onto scrapbook paper. I labeled my snack/cereal containers with vinyl lettering.

the next day...
I organized my food storage.


I put everything back together and even added a cute window.

AFTER!

remember the before?


I think my Mission is Accomplished!
How have you been doing?
