I am taking the Organize Now! Organizing Challenge with some other bloggers and this week we are organizing our pantry!!
I originally wrote this post here but I wanted to share this again because I am still working on my new pantry.
I used all of Tupperware's Modular Mates but I am switching them out to something else now. I want to make sure everything is BPA Free or glass.
This was the top shelf.
This was the second shelf.
Third shelf.
Fourth.
At the bottom, I keep a basket for red potatoes, sweet potatoes and onions. I also keep my apple peeler in there because it fits and on the side the basket, I keep my french fry cutter.
Every kitchens need a fire extinguisher. So, here is mine! Do you have one?
I know this is weird, but I just hang my apron around the shelf and tuck in the corner. It works for me! :)
Here are some of my labels that I still need to add.
I painted a chalkboard on my pantry door.
I can write things that I need to buy on it.
How are you doing with your organizing?
Happy organizing!
Bonnie :)
Thanks for reading, your next step is to follow on Facebook! See ya there :)

Check out the other women in the challenge!
- Jennifer Dempsey: Jennifer, the voice behind the blog Mother Thyme, is a mom of twins, writer, author of Holiday Thyme and food blogger. She is an avid cook with a passion of combining fresh ingredients with common items already on hand. When not chasing around her kids, she likes spending her free “thyme” in the kitchen whipping up simple and delicious recipes at Mother Thyme one bite at a time.
- Linda DeFalco: Linda is a 30+ woman who lives together with her boyfriend in a 1,050 sq ft condo in Florida. She loves organization but is inconsistent with how much time she spends on it due to the fact that she works so many hours in the corporate world. She is looking to find great ways to implement more organizational skills into her busy life. You can follow along with Linda’s organization journey at Tapas Lifestyle.
- Pamela Dayton: Pamela is surprised to find herself raising a family in the same town where she grew up, and is finding it easier to call her 7th-grade-Spanish-teacher-turned-mother-in-law by her first name. In addition to educating her four children at home, Pamela is the owner, and creator of pretty useful things at Revel Handmade Goodness and blogs at the Dayton Time.
Pamela is excited about being a part of this challenge because she has discovered it is much more fun to sit on the sofa in pajamas while knitting custom pretty things for other people, than it is to sort stuff out. She’s taking advantage of this challenge because she knows it’s way past time to get organized.
Bonnie Donahue: Bonnie Donahue is a wife and mother to 4. She has been blogging at House of Grace for 3 years and is the founder of Project Dream Int. She loves talking about cleaning tips, & tools, organizing with what you have, healthy foods that kids will eat, simplifying your life, working from home, family fun and weight loss secrets! She is a down-to-earth momma trying to stay organized in her busy world and sharing her success a long the way! Join her now.
Michelle McDermott Murphy: Michelle has been married for over 15 years to a very supportive husband. They have 3 children, two daughters ages 13 and 10 and a son who is 8. Each of the children participate on sport teams through out the year and are all active in mixed martial arts several times a week. Michelle has always worked full time outside of the home. With all the activities, the organization of the home has taken the hit — there are only so many hours in a day. Through the years, the clutter has become overwhelming and quite stressful. Michelle is accepting this challenge to get her home in order, have less stress in her life and enjoy her home even more than she does already!! You can find Michelle’s posts at www.eamich.wordpress.com
What has struck me is the difference in our pantries. You ahve ALL dry goods. I have them, plus cans of soup etc., botles of some things , etc. Where are yours? In cabinets? Just curious. XO, Pinky
ReplyDeleteOh a fire extinguisher! Good point - I really should look into that:) we have been wanting to switch over to glass too, but it's been difficult to find good quality containers in the right sizes. I thought I'd found some fantastic large rectangular ones but they were paper thin on the sides and all broke really easily :( The ones with a swing type lid and an orange rubber seal are working well for us - like the ones on your top shelf - and I have to say that when we were attacked by pantry moths the weevils didn't get inside them - but they got inside the Tupperware! I love your basket for the potatoes - I think I might have to pinch that idea ;)
