Shelley over at House of Smiths does the best home makeovers! I was inspired by her pantry makeover and decided it was time to clean out my own pantry. Really, I just want her pantry. The gray paint and the sophisticated white vinyl pattern are simply gorgeous! However, I wasn't willing to paint (tried this before...my back hurt for days) nor drop a cool $200 - $300 to achieve her patterned vinyl look, so my pantry doesn't look quite as nice. But it's organized now, and I love how all my baking supplies are on display.
BEFORE - an unorganized mess
AFTER - doesn't it look so much brighter?!
Top Shelf: reserved for rarely used items (liquor, styrofoam plates)
Shelfs 2 & 3: baking supplies. I threw a lot of half used bags of chocolate chips, coconut, marshmallows, etc in a basket that was on the very right but was removed when this picture was taken
Shelf 4: coffee, tea, breakfast stuff
Shelf 5: canned goods in FIFO order, holla! For the non-accountants out there, that's 'first-in, first-out'
LOVE these jars!
I'm super annoyed that I put the 'powdered sugar' label on crooked. Can you tell?! I even used a level to make sure it was straight! Argh!!
I so, so, so wish my pantry looked like Shelley's, but I constantly have to remind myself that this is not a permanent home. This is my I-hate-traffic-I-need-to-live-inside-the-loop-home. When I move into my dream home, I can spend $300 on a pantry makeover.
What happened to all the Sweet and Sour and Firefly? Aren't you impressed that I can identify those from your picture?
ReplyDeleteImpressive! Firefly and sweet and sour are still there, hust hidden... Definitely need to keep the sweet and sour around to make a 'snowcone.' Haha
