Okay, it’s time to push up our sleeves and start purging and organizing.
This little caterer is always in need of organization and upcycling glass jars is the perfect way to do so!!!
Life just moves too darn fast at times. Excuses, excuses! It is time to clean and get things in order.
My solution looks like it came from a major pickle fetish. All I can say is “I am a caterer,” remember? And being a Zest it Up caterer means that when you find yourself in possession of large jars after an event, you must find a use for them other than the trash.
With the help of a little chalkboard spray paint and some chalkboard stickers from the Dollar Store, I was easily able to transform a bunch of pickle jars into uniform storage for my dry goods (aka make my pantry look better with very little effort or money).
Yay for a quick organization project!
All my pantry goods are now labeled and organized in these cute glass jars!
I always have a paint pen laying around just in case I need to relabel or recycle more jars!
And “yay” to a pantry that will not embarrass me anymore! Easy Kitchen Storage soothes the soul!
Happy cleaning and organizing!

Love the labeling idea...Need to do, instead of my 'stick on' labels. I use quart and pint canning jars for everything... [ no pickle smell :)] I can see what is in each jar, no plastic washable, and fit well in cabinets...

What did the caterer use to put the pickle jars on...looks like a strainer, but I don't think so. Thank you!
