Can you tell I went back to work and didn't get back to blogging very quickly?
Here's the completed pantry project!
Three trips to Target, one to Hobby Lobby and one to Wal-mart later. :)
I'm very happy with how it's turned out and it has made using up stuff easier!
First, the shelves:
top shelf: baking supplies, flour, sugar, powdered sugar, chocolate chips and dark brown sugar
next shelf: specialty baking chips and sugar in the raw
next shelf: rice, polenta, peanuts, caramel corn, peppermint candies, red pepper flakes
front row: spicy pecans, sprinkles!, candied pecans
bottom shelf: dish towels and some decorative food items
Onto the actual pantry:
beverages, surplus paper towels/ziplocs, etc., salad dressing and . . .
seldom sought spices in a paint can that I recycled from a birthday gift Jenny gave me full of "Kelly's favorite things". From what I can remember from 2002 (!) there was a magazine, Junie B. Jones book and I'm not sure what else but I remember it was very fun! Thanks Jenny!
stuff to use at dinner time
snacking, breakfast and cans (which of course will mostly get used at
dinnertime but there wasn't room on that shelf)
baking supplies!

how fun! I'm laughing a little at all the labels, but only because I appreciate the effort!! :-)
What a great job, Kelly! I love organizing! You have such a cute blog.
Look at you! Way to go, friend. I especially love that you had to buy a giant jar for red pepper flakes. Who has that many red pepper flakes? Only my Italian-food loving friend!!
I agree with Deborah--I was amazed that anyone would have that many pepper flakes. And I love the book cover....I don't know that one and I want to.

Nice job! Your labeling is a smart idea, as long as the fam pays attention, right? ;-)
By the way, what, exactly, was the student doing in the freezer? :-P
Congratulations on winning Meredith's giveaway! Your pantry is amazing! Great job! Leinani

I love the closet and the fridge! I have a sudden urge to re-organize.
P.S. Your blog has now been visited by two Elizabeths from Tennessee! When I saw the other Elizabeth from Tennessee's name, I thought I'd messed up and commented twice. LOL.
First time visit via Like Merchant Ships (you'll get a raft of visitors today, too.)
LOVE your organized space. I also have labels in my fridge:
Leftovers
Sweets (diabetic friendly)
Raw
Thaw
Ready to Eat protein
Crunchy drawer
Leafy drawer
thanks for the inspiration,

Hi there:) I followed the link over here from Elizabeth's blog---I am so glad I did. I love this post--you did a wonderful job on your pantry and fridge. It is so funny, because not knowing about this post before, I posted a picture of my messy pantry too..LOL. Anyway--You have a very nice blog.
Have a great weekend.

I so appreciate the labeling! And am in awe of your organizational skills. Time for me to step it up!
I'm new to your blog but so loving it!
WOW! I just found your blog through someone linking to this post. Im inspired. Im so going to get some glass jars this weekend. LOL. I have the wire free standing shelves that you have. DH and I bought them to use as a pantry in our first apartment. Now in my home I started using them for food again.
I have spent a lot of time this morning reading through some of your other posts.
Great blog!!
The three remaining candidates are all intelligent and have well-thought-out positions.

The Copperfield ragged school opened its doors to children aged between five and ten in 1876. If you are going to be showing, then having a trailer with a built in dressing room can be very convenient.
