Last month, I got brave and showed you the contents of my pantry. It wasn’t pretty.
Well, my pantry is finally ready for its makeover reveal. Cleaning it out was quite a process! But I am so thankful it is done as I am enjoying the fruits of my labor. A clean, organized pantry makes meal planning and snack grabbing so much easier. Especially during the summer!
Here it is, my freshly organized pantry in all its glory:
My glass storage jars for dry goods make me swoon! Everything has a home and I can quickly assess what I have on hand.
Some of the frugal musts that you may notice in my pantry: raw honey, apple cider vinegar, coconut oil and baking soda. Always on hand!
Now I wonder how long it will stay this way…

Splendid job! My house is minus a pantry. I use a few cabinets in the kitchen and some counter space for the overflow.

The pantry looks great. We took a utility room of the garage and turned it into a pantry. I really have to work hard to keep it clean and organized. And other things are trying to slowly creep in but I keep tossing them out. It was a junk all room for 5 years until I claimed it~

@DonnaJ, What a great way to be resourceful, Donna! I know what you mean about things creeping in. I really have to stay on top of my clutter, too. 🙂
Thanks so much for reading and commenting!

WONDERFUL! What would you do if you only had a regular size closet to use? I am in a mobile home. Thanks.

Your pantry looks wonderful–and it looks as if it won’t be too hard to keep it neat. You’ve made it look good but haven’t made it so decorative that it’ll be un-usable. Good job!
I love the name of your blog!

Once in 2 months I clean my pantry. But it will be back to square one after two weeks. 🙂

You have a clean and beautiful pantry! I love to have that one, but since I got 4 kids to consider my pantry for sure will always be empty! 🙂
