How to Have an Organized Pantry

Emily at ‘Decor Chick‘ did this pantry makeover with help from her Dad… Her Dad is a little bit brilliant! Those pantry carousels he designed and made, and how amazing are they? Make sure you check out the whole post on how they created the carousels, and the whole organized pantry redo.

Emily at ‘11 Gables‘ turned an old laundry closet into a butlers pantry! My favorite simple trick in this pantry? These stackable baskets used as can storage. Inexpensive, and you don’t have to go to a specialty store to find them. Check out all her organized pantry ideas!

Jen at ‘I Heart Organizing‘ brings us a pantry makeover by Megan from ‘Honey I’m Home‘. Love all these organized pantry ideas! Here is another clever idea for organizing cans… Placing them on  3 tier organizers so you can see all the cans in the back.

Ok, this is right up my alley. This dollar store pantry makeover is so pretty! Yep, I said dollar store! ‘The Social Home‘ shows us how to do this, and has a link to their Etsy shop where you can get customized labels.

Taryn from ‘Design, Dining and Diapers‘ created a new pantry organization system for herself using these pretty square baskets and labels. These labels are faux chalkboard, but you can buy chalkboard labels at any craft store too. I think it might be nice to be able to change up a basket label easily depending on what I’m buying that week. Love this idea!

Lastly, I want to share a pantry renovation from Jordan at ‘Oh Happy Day!‘.  She and her husband were planning a kitchen remodel, so they drew up a dream pantry to go with it! And this is one of the prettiest organized pantries I’ve seen. Inspires me to run to the store for some glass jars and labels!

    I can’t agree with you more, when I feel like cooking I want everything to be organized. I want to be able to put my fingers on every spice that I want instantly. In my kitchen I have all my spices alphabetized. I also want my kitchen very clean when I start cooking. It really helps when you are organized to begin with. This makes cooking fun!!!
