For months and months, our pantry made me cringe. It was messy, contained items we never used anymore, and I didn’t even know half of the things we had in there due to all of the disorganization. I cringe at these photos, but they are to show you that you are not alone!<\/p>\n
Brace yourselves…<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
AHHHHH!!!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Stuff everywhere!<\/p>\n
A few years ago I organized our old pantry by buying some cheap dollar store baskets and putting chalkboard labels on them, and for a while, that worked just fine.<\/p>\n
But eventually, those labels fell off and truth-be-told I just wanted something prettier to look at when I walked into our pantry, but that also didn’t break the bank, either.<\/p>\n
So when I stumbled upon THESE<\/a> baskets on Joss and Main, I knew I had found “the ones.” And even better<\/strong>, I read some reviews, and one reviewer let us know that these baskets are also sold on Walmart.com <\/a>(sadly, not in most stores) for even cheaper<\/em> than on Joss and Main! HOLLA! And I LOVE<\/em> THEM!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n And, they come in a giant box your child will enjoy playing in while you organize, too. Win.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The best part? These baskets are less than $7.50 each!\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Iiiiii know. I’m excited, too!<\/p>\n Get them HERE.<\/a><\/p>\n I was looking for something that I could write on since I love when things are labeled, so the chalkboards are just perfect for that, AND I love that the cloth buttons on and off for easy cleaning. I am a fan of the lined baskets so that you can’t see everything that is there, giving it all a cleaner look.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n To help organize and store some other foods, I keep our pasta in jars like THESE<\/a>:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n My baking ingredients in containers like THESE<\/a>:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n And our cereal in containers like THESE<\/a>: I realize the box the cereal comes in is just as easy, if not easier, to store the cereal in. But truthfully, I just don’t like looking at the boxes and prefer a cleaner look.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Our pantry has now been organized for about six months and it is holding up well! In fact, these photos were taken only a few days ago. Still looking good in there! I really should get rid of all of those protein powders down there at the bottom, though… six containers of that stuff is a little much!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n So, here is what you need to do to clean up and beautify your own pantry.<\/p>\n This may sound silly, but doing this has made me so happy! Ha! I LOVE going in our pantry now and seeing a pretty space. Again, HERE <\/a>are the best baskets ever<\/em>.<\/p>\n Here are some other options I thought would work well in addition, and I think I will most likely end up upgrading my bottom row baskets to a few of these bigger ones, too, once they come back in stock.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n HERE<\/a><\/p>\n Or maybe just go with this one since it’s in stock right now…<\/p>\n <\/p>\n\n
