Organized: Pantry

I've been working on organizing my kitchen so the major factor in that thing is the pantry.  I couldn't even take a before picture because it was a nightmare in there!  I had all these mismatched bins to hold all my baking stuff and my flour bin was being held together with duct tape (it got set on a hot stove and melted).  So sad!  So I went for it and took everything out and started from scratch.  I went to Wal Mart and got their new Rubbermaid bins.  They are tall and recantuglar, not round like my previous ones were.  This way you can put more in the same amount of space and they stack nicely.

I used my new labelmaker to differntiate the different baking items. I love that they all match and my flour no longer has duct tape! Hooray! I also picked up some bins at Ikea to put my rice and pasta items in. I got different bins for these because I wanted to have a pour spout on the top. These were on 2 or 3 bucks a piece and work really well.

My other bins that I had before did not got to waste. I ended up putting chips, pretzals, oats, and pancake mix in them and labeling them. I like it a lot better than having random boxes and bags in there. So here's a tiny look at the finished product. You can't really see the whole pantry, but you get the idea.

I even have room to spare!  Wow!  I love being able to see everything and know that everything is in it's place and stocked up.
