Project 1 - Pantry Organization

     I decided to tackle the organization of the pantry in the kitchen as it's been in need of some cleaning out for quite some time now.  I wish I would have taken a "before" photo when I began, but unfortunately the thought didn't even cross my mind.  Another great photo would have been a shot of all our food spread out all over the kitchen countertops.  As it turns out, I only have "after" photos to show.
     Can you tell that there's nothing on the floor?  As far as I'm concerned, that's the best part!  If you click on the photo you can get a close-up view of my fabulous labels that were created using both my Cricut and the new Xyron sticker maker.
     On the top shelf I have a basket filled with Mr. Home For All Seasons lunch supplies.  Yes, I make his lunch everyday.  To the left is a plastic container for the bread.  On the right I have a few magazine files with recipe books in them.  To the far left is a basket of my favorite personal recipes.
     On the next shelf is a basket that holds boxed food items.  To the left are coffees and teas.  On the right are containers of breakfast items.
      On the shelf below the breakfast items, I put containers of snacks on the left and pasta, rice and noodles on the right.  The baskets hold canned goods.  Remember, you can click on the photo for a close-up to see the labels.
      Here's the bottom shelf.  Sorry it's a tad crooked, but this pantry is located in a hallway off the kitchen, and the wall does not allow me much room for taking a shot straight on.  This basket holds miscellaneous items that wouldn't fit anywhere else.  Things like oils, salad dressings, and syrup.
     Of course I had to organize the shelves on the pantry door, too.  I do think Mr. Home For All Seasons has enough grilling spices, don't you?
