Disaster Zone Pantry Makeover
For months, I have watched this tiny room becoming an anxiety attack waiting to happen, but instead of tackling it, I just kept shutting the door. I literally could not move in there, nor could I find anything. It was flat out embarrassing, so I kept the door shut so that nobody ever had to see what was going on in there. I prided myself in a kept house, yet I couldn’t even find my own bread. How pitiful.
When I submitted my pantry for consideration in the “Disaster Zone” room challenge for Good Housekeeping, I knew that there was no way that it wasn’t one of the worst out there. How could it not be? I felt like if it got picked for the makeover, I would FINALLY get my tail in gear to make it what it should be. Thank God, that is what finally happened. {You can read here for the original post about my submission.}
Here is the photo I submitted for my “Disaster Zone”!
Enjoyed the project?

Very nice! You're an inspiration! I keep thinking 'I'm going to paint my walk in pantry' - one of these days...but it hasn't happened in 23 years - maybe 'this' is the Summer! Love the color too! I'll have to see what would work best with my colors. Thank you for sharing!

I have a small "bonus" room in my apartment. It has many functions; office, pantry, vacuum cleaner & rolling cart storage, computer... you get the idea. My pantry shelves have to multi-purpose; not only food but office & some craft supplies as well. I am the "Queen of Storage" so I've used every inch of my apartment efficiently. I find using boxes & bins works really well. Makes things easy to see and, when I don't fill a large box anymore, I simply get a smaller box for the remainder. Boxes? I cold build a house with the Amazon boxes I get and/or have access to. Used to make them pretty but gave up. Too much work & some weren't around that long. I'm happy when I walk into the room and see an organized space (considering all the functions it has to perform) and pantry shelves that serve me in the most efficient manner.
