Project Declutter: Pantry

Day 15: Kitchen Pantry

I’m starting with the part of the kitchen that gets disorganized the fastest – the pantry. Check out my before pictures:

Yikes!! That top section is always the worst. Here is the bottom part:

I got rid of food that was expired and canned items that I don’t think we are going to eat (since it’s been in the pantry awhile). I’ll donate the few canned items I took out of the pantry. It was pretty fun to consolidate and categorize the food again.

For the top section, I decided I could make best use of my space if I put the popcorn maker on TOP of the pantry and put all the paper items in the basket on the top shelf. Everything is just organized so much better!!

The bottom section is organized so much better. All the cereal is in one place, canned items are organized, sweeteners are together, and I even found some extra containers I could put some pasta, beans and rice in (you can see from the first picture beans and rice take up a lot more space when they are still bagged)!!

Tomorrow, we’ll see how many of the lower cabinets I can tackle!!
