Longing For A Pretty Pantry..But Need A Real Pantry?
APantry Organization 101!
Sure we all pine for the minimal food storage systems we see on HGTV and on display at The Container Store. We can also all agree that an organized pantry makes our lives run more smoothly. But then real life happens and we realize it’s up to us to make our pantry work for us. Today, on another Wednesday Wow, let’s look at three bloggers who share the before and after of their personal pretty pantry!
Designer Quick Tip
Pantries and Closets!
Did you know that 75% of new and existing homes have white wire shelving installed in a pantry? If you are one of the majority, you also know that wire shelving is harder to keep clean and can be an uneven surface to work with.
White laminate shelves, available in both 24″ and 48″ ready-made lengths, can easily be cut to size and sit directly on the wire shelving. For all the labelers out there, this also gives a nice flat lip to play with.

Pretty Pantry So Organized There Is Art!
The decorchick! really shows us how to use what we have and make a difference in everyday life! When finished, she had so much visual space she was able to add a wreath on the wall!
Pantry Product Containment
This next blogger shows us how to keep a large pantry under control with the idea of grouping and containing pantry items. Containers do not have to all be alike. Our favorite pantry makeover, years ago before cameras on cell phones, was with a client who used the large containers her Costco products came in for all kinds of new uses!
Ongoing Pantry Organization
Lastly, as the blogger relates in her post, pantry organization can really be called pantry clean up. Even the very best systems need our attention on a regular basis to keep us all happy!

Yet some of our favorite pantry’s are not for food at all!
These are great ideas to keep a pantry organized! I love the idea of the containers!
In our climate containers for dry goods are a must!
Yes, I agree!
I love seeing how people organize their pantries. We have a terrible pantry in this house but in my last I had a huge walk in pantry that was U-shaped, I had so much room I used one entire side for my giant cookbook collection.
Pantries have personalities indeed!
I’m a huge fan of a well-organized pantry!
