So I am finally feeling like I am getting settled in our new home. With Caleb's birthday now done and over, I feel like taking a deep breath and just finally living in our home. Yes, there are still many projects to tackle, like finishing Soren's wallpaper (we did half the room), painting our master bedroom, changing door hardware throughout (every room has a different finish of hardware), making the guest bedroom feel like a guest bedroom, changing the toilet in our room (it's old), and so on. Let's face it every home has a list like this right?
I've also had time to do what I love to do...organize! I had found some really great ideas on Pinterest, and figured the best way to start is with the pantry. I found chalkboard contact paper (which I am now obsessed with). I decided to buy some mason jars in bulk from Amazon, and Martha Stewart for Staples Jar Labels. And this is what I came up with.
As you can see I also created a grocery list to write the things I need, and when it's full I snap a picture of it a with my phone and off I go.
I also labeled the drawers so that family members know exactly where everything is. How many times has your husband or kids asked where is...?
I also used the mason jars to to store all of my types of oats and flours. Being that John is Gluten Free I have to carry 8-10 flours in my pantry at all times in order to create baked goods or meals. This is an easy way to organize it all!
And let me just say that every time I open my pantry it makes me happy :)
