I love to organize and I know this may sound corny but I deeply believe that having an organized home is the foundation for success and happiness. When you have control of your home you make better decisions on how to spend your time and money.
My blog is all inspiring my readers to get organized so nothing makes me happier than an email from one of them letting me know that one of my projects has inspired them to tackle a problem area within their home. Last week I received an email from Learning Table letting me know that my recent storage transformation with sterilite bins inspired her to tackle her pantry.
“My pantry has been a mess for awhile, and I found myself buying grocery items I discovered I already had due to disorganization. I finally got a bit of spring fever and decided to tackle the mess, and it took almost a whole day to do it. I was inspired byKuzak’s Closet’s makeover using stackable bins, and I already had some on hand in other parts of the house. I bought four more at Target, and I used them to store items that don’t stack or stand up well. I put all my opened dry beans, chocolate chips, and pasta in mason jars, and all the cereal and kids snacks went into clear jars with snap top lids. All the extra staples went on the top shelves, and I threw away anything with an expired date. I keep thermoses, lunch bags, plastic cutlery, paper plates, etc. in my grandmama’s picnic baskets, and a floor mat my son made in art class brightens up the view when I open the doors. It makes me happy to look inside the pantry now, and it is much easier to plan meals knowing what I already have.”
I think her pantry looks great. The sterilite bins group like items nicely and prevent them from slipping through the wire shelving. She sorted things by like and kind and placed them neatly on the shelves. I also love that she used airtight bins to store cereal and snacks, perfect! I hope this project gets you inspired to tackle your pantry too!

My pantry do-over inspired me to clean out all my kitchen cabinets, too. I can't tell you how much time and energy this has saved me. By knowing where things are, I am more motivated and organized at meal time. I'm going to tackle my boys' closets next–wish me luck!
Thanks for featuring my pantry!
