I Organized the PANTRIES!!!

The other day I had had ENOUGH of my pantries! I am fortunate that I have 2 pantries, but they are both kinda small. However, that allows me to seperate and have different things in the 2 pantries. In the left pantry I have "extra" things; plates, candle holders, napkins, silverware, crockpot,toaster. We have the typical wire shelving in the pantries and rather than switching all that out we found a great product on the internet. It is a plastic shelf liner and it works GREAT!!! I like to use turntables on the shelves and/or racks to make the most of the space. I am going to have Joe put lights in the pantries, as you can see they can be dark. So below is the top shelf in the left pantry.

I have wraps and bags in a drawer in the kitchen so they are handy and these are extras. My toaster is in a plastic bag. I do clean it out after each use for crumbs but still keep it in the bag. I know.....

I have some white dishes and a platter on this shelf.

Next shelf has chips etc. in a plastic basket. Then paper plates and behind them some votive holders are corralled in a plastic.

On the right side are cereals and some crackers.

Next shelf has my vitamin bottles on a turntable. I keep them in a pill case with the cereals bowls so that I take them each morning, and refill that every Sunday. Next to the vitamins are crackers and popcorn.

To the left of that is another turntable with extras and then my silverware in its case.

The floor was COVERED with stuff!!! Things left over or just stuck in here over the fall and Christmas. It was a mess.

Now there is actually empty space on the floor!!!! The crock pot I keep in this box so I can transport it in the box when we go somewhere (like the clubhouse on Fri. nights:):) The deviled egg case and extra napkins are here too.

Now this is the right hand pantry. It is all food items.

Lots of turntables are used here. I had them all in the pantry at the old house.

You can tell some are OLD....they are GOLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I doubt they still make gold ones, LOL!!!! Salad dressing and seasoning packets are in the brown basket.
