I always love me some good old organizing. SO addictive. Here we go, I am tackling my beast of a pantry! You can imagine the pantry of a caterer and blogger- lot’s of random ingredients!!! I didn’t realize how many darn bags or butterscotch chips or half eaten boxes of crackers I had until I busted out this spring cleaning. I love using my old dresser drawers for organization, but I must admit they really are just a mask. I look more organized than what I actually am, so now to live up to it!!

The BEFORE...

Yep piles of random food in boxes is what this boils down to.

I wanted to start with adding some COLOR. Grab some contact paper at the dollar store, Target, Kmart- you name it!

I grabbed my cute teal chevron from Kmart for $8 and started to measure….

After measuring and cutting I used a squeegee to push out any air pockets.

I love the pop of color in my pantry!

Not only was I trying to get organized, but all on a budget! I splurged and got this cute oversized mason jar for $17 but grabbed some crates I had laying around from thrift stores and garage sales for the rest. Now to start organizing! {and purging!}

See how I made these organization crates HERE!! They fit right under my bottom shelf!

Adding a bit of color and zest to some other found storage objects…

After getting some more black chalkboard decals from the dollar store I was ready for action… Cheers to cute kitchen storage!

VOILA! Now just to maintain this beauty:)

Happy Organizing!

Sam

I noticed you had your spices stacked. what did you use to do that. I need to figure out something for the spices I use daily to sit on my counter. With them sitting up in my cabinet they take up to much space. And I don't have many cabinets for other important things, dishes, coffee mugs, glasses

  I have my spices on a double-decker lazy susan in the cupboard, and oils, food cans, and miscellaneous baking and seasoning things also on lazy susans. It's much easier than having to reach in the back of the shelf, and keeps everything off the counter (I only have a 30 inch wide counter in my rental).

  I started using the two tier round lazy susan in my cabinets. It's so much easier to just swing the tray and pull out what I need. I also went to the clear plastic stackable's . You can see whats in them.

I love the final outcome. The dark drawers add contrast, depth and character to the space.
