I'm jealous of her pantry

Hi Gabbi - you did a really good job of organizing your sister’s pantry! Now everything is categorized and easily accessible! I enjoyed this video😊

You inspire me but for some reason I just cannot get myself started. Any suggestions?

I was so surprised when you said you moved to Iowa. We have lived in eastern Iowa for multiple decades. Usually I see videos of people moving to any number of other places but not Iowa!

❤❤❤ that you'll spending time with your grandma laughing, making memories & decluttering 😊. I'm hooked on the series 😂. Thank you for the motivation.

Great job in helping your grandma declutter. Your patience in helping her with her massive declutter is absolutely lovely & no small feat.

Love the school and the barn! My favorite toys as a child!

I can never figure out how "decanting" saves any space or helps in organization. Not every package will fit into the perfect pretty container. Then you have extras in the pantry waiting to go into the perfect pretty container. When there is a sale do the packages go out in the garage on a shelf waiting to be "decanted" into the pretty matching containers in the pantry? Then how do you know the expiration date or cooking instructions on the items in the pretty matching containers? Maybe pretty hand written labels on the back? I obvious just don't get it. And spices! Those need to be within reach to put in a dish or mixer and then returned. Seems a lot more work to have the spices 5 steps away in the pantry every time a dish needs a pinch or dash extra after taste testing.

It looks nice, but that is a lot of wasted space.

You are getting there,,,awesome, your baby is beautiful 😊

That blue hat is Fenton and it is valuable. She should not let you talk her out of keeping it, especially since it was a gift from someone special. The green plastic box is for large recipe cards. Sometimes people will get a subscription for them, as well as cards from the National Geographic with animals or important people or facts collections.

They could be thin knitting needles and not chopsticks. Also wouldn't the drawers and cabinets stay more organized if you put dividers in them or everything could just get all jumbled together again?

She has enough space between shelves for a couple of those sliding drawers that hang underneath. Extra space for little stuff like small cans or packets, etc.

I have those same clear containers that I decant into. They work for me, so I see when the product is almost used up versus in the box. Also, i discovered my pantry is ever evolving and takes a little time adjusting as groceries are used and new groceries bought.

I've never put cleaning products in the pantry. But I guess if you have room, why not?@

No ma’am spices and seasonings gotta be right there at hand when preparing food.

I like the look of containers to decant stuff, but it is not really suitable for things you don't use often as you no longer have the packaging with the expiry date, nor instructions or ingredients, once you get rid of the packaging. I use a few, but only for things we use often.

What prevents me from decanting is losing the cooking instructions. Pasta, sure, probably obvious. But rice and oatmeal can vary a lot. Plus expiration dates. 🤷‍♀️

You and the cans! 😂 I get it. 😊

Looks great.

I see these what I consider a full pantry and people are always buying more ! Use what you have ! Then things would not have to be thrown out due to expired dates ! American s waste too much food !

Love a pantry makeover❤😊

Great job, looks so nice 😊

The only issue I have with decanting items is the instructions need to be added to the containers. I didn’t see you doing any of that.

Beautiful!! 😍

I have fun when my sister lets me tidy and rearrange her cupboards. I also do an expiration date check up at the same time. Looks like fun to do a big ole pantry closet!

Love it , great job 🎉

One thing I do when I decant and want the recipe or cook info is cut the info from the box or package, place it in a snack or sandwich zip bag and place it in the top of the container.

Lookin good!!😃

I know you are careful, but I was waiting for Penny to wack into the door or something when you were going in and out of the pantry. She is so funny. Just along for the ride. I love organizing pantries.

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Ok but why is there SO MUCH! 😭

💖

Great job 🎉❤

Nice job👏🤩

Also books. I am alittle more stern. Keep one donate minimum one. It has been a reduction of at least 60%

One suggestion per experience It is difficult for them to get rid of things but two Christmas ago I put all her hand blown Christmas ornaments on the tree. Everyone took turns including her to take their favorites until all gone. We got her an ornament tree that held twenty that is manageable instead of minimum 150. She really enjoyed watching everyone pick some. Then last Christmas we did it with her jewelry. She enjoyed seeing all the girls pick out stuff and the boys picked also. My son is melting his into a bar. This Christmas will be her collection of Cristal and glassware. My instruction to family was only take if you want to what was left would be donated. But the last two times everything got picked between children grandchildren and great grandchildren. With my other grandma we did that with her quilts. So maybe that may help someone along the way. They really enjoy seeing family take it rather than goodwill. And she enjoyed seeing who picked what. You can go oldest to youngest or draw numbers

She's lived there for 50 years. And had that vacuum cleaner for just about that long. Shame on dyson, it still works and my current vacuum doesn't.

Moved into an apartment after a smoker had lived there for some time. I thought things looked/smelled alright, but the first time I took a hot shower the bathroom walls started literally sweating yellowish-orange nicotine streaks. Worst part? Popcorn ceiling. I could clean the walls, but there was nothing I could do about the ceiling.

The problem is..a hell yes can only make the wearer. Not another person

The bed was filthy, im sorry, how can you put clean sheets on it? Or was that same sheets and plankets? that bed smell bad?!?!

Great job!!!
