Instead of a layout that made sense, plates near the dining room and food near the stove, things were scattered throughout with no rhyme or reason. We don\'t have a traditional walk in pantry here, so all our food has to be stored in the cabinets. When we first moved in I kind of just started putting things up there with no particular plan. Canned goods, dried quinoa, and condiment staples were shoved in the far right cabinet. Baking goods hung out in another area. Spices were over by the stove, and vitamins were to the right of the sink. I hadn\'t revisited that original setup in over nine years. #reallife I was ready to do something about my disheveled mess of a pantry, or lack thereof. Organization totally isn\'t my strong suit. That\'s why my only advice for keeping a tidy house involves being a minimalist and getting rid of everything that doesn\'t bring joy. It is the only way I can stay on top of the clutter. Instead of storing it in nicely labeled bins and totes, I just get rid of it with reckless abandon. But food, well.... you need it. The more you have, the better. And therein lies the problem. Organization is a must. I took everything out of the cabinets, and got rid of quite a few mugs and plates that we never use. I just kept enough bowls/plates in our cabinets that we use for a meal. Half the time they don\'t even get put back up there. It\'s just eat, rinse, repeat. I also took this opportunity to clean up, and paint, the insides of my cabinets. The people who lived here before painted the insides blue. Since the color wasn\'t totally offensive, I left it. I mean who has time to paint the inside of cabinets?! Not me. But I\'m glad I finally I did it. Everything looks so fresh and tidy with a couple coats of white. I used the same chalk paint I always use. It goes over just about any surface without any prep work. I spent the better part of Saturday afternoon researching the best options for dry food storage. I knew I wanted glass, to avoid the chemicals in plastic. They would also have to be pretty, of course. I loved loved looved the look of weck jars, but they are so darn expensive and the clamp/gasket setup can be a total pain. Well wouldn\'t you know it, I came full circle right back around to my beloved mason jars. They are cheap, durable and pretty. Should have known. Plus, I love that I can get plastic lids so I don\'t have to worry about rust with the metal lids....

For the spices, I didn\'t really have that problem. For a few of my most used spices, that I buy in bulk, I just filled two spice jars, so I can have the extra right in front of me on display. All the others were the right amount to fit in the jars. However, I did have that problem for things like oatmeal, flour, shredded coconut, popcorn and quinoa. Since I buy those things in bulk, I did have quite a bit leftover from my display. Since our upper cabinets are very tall, and difficult to access, I have a ton of extra space up there. I hardly store anything in those upper cabinets, so now I have one dedicated to bulk \"refill\" items. Business inquiries: [email protected]'
