E & P... Entry and Pantry! Part TWO.

So, yesterday I shared a teaser on our most recent DIY project.  It is a makeover of our entry way which includes updating/gutting our pantry.  My goal was to have a better space to store our food, snacks, etc, also to have storage for shoes, mittens, coats etc. and make our entry more attractive and useful.

It took a few weeks to get this project finished, but here are the after photos! 

New shelves (organized by category), access to recycling and dog food (bottom).
I still need to paint inside of the pantry door and have hopes of putting rack or magnet plate for spices.



Benches complete!  We cut down the pantry door to fit new space.
Eventually I want to get a new doorknob and add some molding to the door to make it nicer looking.  I also have hopes of adding some more hooks for coats and spacing them out a bit. 


What do you think?  I love it.  There are a few additional updates that I might add down the line, but done for now!  It is great to look at something attractive when you come in the door rather than a messy pile of stuff.  The added plus is that I have a beautiful pantry that is well organized and I can find stuff.  Until next time...xoxo

PS:  Check out the DIY Show Off!  I entered my bench there!!!

P is for Pantry!

Okay, I am doing another series!!!  Get ready, I am making it official.  This week is spring cleaning week!  Each post this week will be devoted to clearing clutter and making spaces more organized.  Love it.  I dream of quitting my day job to become a professional designer and organizer.  Some day....

Back to reality.  Today's focus is on the pantry!  My pantry is a DISASTER!  I won't be sharing any photos, becuase it is really that bad.  I need to tear out the shelves that are in there and start over!  Someday.

Check out these photos.  
This pantry from Emerson Made inspired this spring cleaning week!  It has been showcased on a bunch of other blogs, but I still could not resist!  How amazing is this?

This is technically not a pantry- but you could utilize in pantry!  Buy magnetic spice containers at Amazon!  


Here are a few items on my organization wish list!

Soup Can Rack from Amazon


Pan and Lid Organizer from Amazon 





Cute Jars from Amazon too!


Glass Bottles (Oils, Vinegars, etc) from Amazon too!



Notepad Roll (perfect for kitchen) 


Wine Glass Rack (I would put in sideboard or pantry not outside cabinet) 

Cool Bag Holder!  We have a lot of bags, I think I would need two of these.


Hope you are as inspired as I am to organize your pantry!  This is a real project in my house.  I am embarassed to share my current pantry!  Yikes!

Until next time.....xoxo
