When we built our home over 30 years ago, we used an entire room off the kitchen as our pantry. I’m lucky because we have a lot of space. It also causes some problems because I tend to stash way too much STUFF in here!
I went through our pantry when we switched to Nutrisystem almost a year ago. I cleaned a bunch of stuff out, gave away a bunch, packed other things away for much later….
Now we’re doing more flex meals, plus branching out. I need to reorganize the pantry so that things are easy to find, easy to get to, etc.
The side of the pantry in the picture above is the food side of the pantry.
On the back side is the pantry fridge, and then an L-shaped bunch of shelves that hold cleaning supplies, paper supplies, cooking pots, canning stuff – you name it.
I’m now working on getting things organized so that I can cook more without having to move a bunch of STUFF in order to get the pan I need, the ingredients I need….
I’m trying to do a bit each day. Today I’m giving it an extra push because it’s cold and rainy outside, we don’t need to go anywhere, and I want to accomplish more today than laundry and vacuuming. (Already done!)
I’m concentrating on the non-fo0d part of the pantry today. I’ll take pics if I make enough progress.

I’m jealous of the space…. 🙂

It’s wonderful, Robin, and I love it. Along with it, though, is the responsibility not to become a pack rat. We’ve changed the way we’re eating, so things have gotten stashed in different places. I’m trying to make sense of all of it now, finding good, accessible places for everything. Hopefully, I can finish the project soon.

I understand. I’m much better about not accumulating stuff. I was doing pretty good a year ago about getting rid of extra stuff, but then quit. I need to get back on it. 🙂

We’ve lived in our home for over 30 years now. I started last year, going through one room at a time, donating things, throwing other things away, then cleaning and reorganizing. The only rooms I didn’t do were the basement, the garage, and our shop. Now I’m on Phase II of the purging project. It’s funny, though. The more I do, the more I SEE to do! I wish you luck with yours.
