I spent a lot of my long weekend organizing. These two cabinets are my two of my most used. They store all my pantry items. No, I don’t have one of those lovely full closet pantries…but I guess I don’t need it either. I just need to make better use of what I have! I’m embarrassed to show this but this is at it’s worst. It’s been a busy month.
I took everything out. I threw a few things out but most everything went back in. I can’t believe how much more room there is without all the boxes!
I tried to eliminate most of the boxes and put everything into containers. I used a set of 17 containers at IKEA for $3.99. I should have bought two sets because I needed more of the larger containers. Some of the small ones are too small to use here but I’ll use them for craft storage.
Then I labeled the containers with vinyl. I still need to cut a few more labels.
Cabinet #2: the corner lazy Susan. It’s amazing how much this cabinet really holds but what a mess.
The containers with the blue lids are all from the Dollar Tree. So much better! I will be working on labeling the containers this week. Now it’s so nice to open the cabinets and see how nice it looks in there!

The other day I organized a cupboard and last night I thought I heard Donnie rummaging through that cupboard muttering about it. I about flipped. 😀 He was in a different cupboard…which I don’t think there’s much help for. LOL
