Pro tip when you go to paint this pantry. Before you touch anything: take.pictures.of.every.single.shelf. Take things out by shelf and try to keep them together. When paint is dry, use your pictures for reference and put things back from whence they came.

Instead of repainting the shelves, you can use contact paper or shelf liner if you don't want anything sticky. Dollar Tree has some. I have put shelf liner in my pantry and fridge. It is easier to wipe and can be replaced if it gets really dirty.

I use to avoid the idea of taking from a container to put in a different one. But I noticed once I put my 7 yr olds cereal in a clear container with a flip lid he finally started eating it. I discovered moving things from packages to clear containers and they stopped lingering in the house because it sort of reminded him that we had it. No more stale cereal that no one eats.

@allieshaw2531 3 жыл бұрын

I agree about the cereal. I put it in Tupperware cereal storers and my kids made their own breakfast so I could get my workout done. They are now adults and the containers are still going strong. The decanting takes time but worth it!

@lorenet.2182 3 жыл бұрын

It looks awesome!! Dave and you are so handy so consider pulling out the shelf above the baking shelf and add one inch filler strip to the supports (or move the supports up) to raise it. You would have to move the center bracket too but it would allow you to stack the tall containers. If you do it before painting it wouldn’t be noticeable. Also you can always use the cracked one for sealed items like snack bars, mini candy bars!!

@PetLover199 3 жыл бұрын

Your stacking issue demonstrates why I always take a bajillion measurements before going shopping. It's always my worst nightmare that I'm gonna go through all the hassle of buying something and bringing it home just to find out that it doesn't fit where I want it!

@Ind.strength 3 жыл бұрын

My rule of thumb: if it’s in a bag and I use it often put it in a container (flour, sugar, etc). If it’s in a non resealable container and I don’t use it often but it in a container (oats, almonds, etc)

@RTCPhotoWork 3 жыл бұрын

I'm kind of with her except for certain things will keep longer/better in the second container. Once I started decanting things like cereal and granola into containers, they almost never got stale. I'd say if pretty/no visual clutter doesn't matter to you, decant the things that aren't already in resealable packaging and leave the rest in their original packaging. Also, if pests tend to come around where you live, decanting can prevent critters from getting into your food. Because the containers are more sturdy than the disposable packaging most items come in, they have a harder time smelling your food and getting in to eat it.

@prettybyte6513 3 жыл бұрын

The only items I keep in these clear types of containers are everyday use items like (Oatmeal) or bulk items I need in easy-to-handle containers (flour, grains) and it’s easy to tell what is in it without a label. I use bins to group packages because I *need* to see expiration dates. Expiration dates help me with meal planning, too. My bins are labeled by the group they hold. I decided to stay with bins after a friend said she went to make pancakes and had no idea how old her mix was.

I used to feel the same way about the moving food from one container into another container..... the light bulb moment was understanding that consistency in storage helps keep thing organized... like if you have 4 different kind of dinner plates... your stuff will always look messy even if it’s “organized” it’s soothing to the eye to see neat stacks of the same thing

The first time I did this I ended up losing a lot of food because things with oils went rancid. The second time I put the smaller bags inside the plastic containers so it would be controlled, but also I'd have best by/ expiration dates and I could use up food that was about to turn. Pantry organization is a lifetime task in my opinion. I recently redid mine and only found 3 things actually expired and bad bad, pretty pleased with that.

For me it's not about being pretty but utilitarian and preserving. It's easier to see how much you actually have and you don't have alot of empty boxes.
