bright + clean


Mike thinks it's kind of silly that I wanted our pantry to look pretty. I'm wondering why it took me so long to get to it! I rounded up some baskets, which meant cleaning out my closet again. (I really have no clothes left now.) I wanted things contained. And organized. And bright. And clean. I've been leaving the door open just so I can peek at those shelves when I walk by.

I would like to hire you to organize my pantry please.
Thank you!

Looks lovely! I just cleaned out my pantry today too! Every spring when I reorganize, I think I've found the very best place for everything... then somehow I find a better place the next year.

I also reorganized some kitchen cabinets. Some things have now been moved three times in less than three years. My poor husband.

Oh! I have never seen a prettier pantry.

Rita said...

That looks so great! I totally get wanting to have a pretty pantry. If only I had a pantry:)!!!

Ginger said...

Wow, you have way less stuff in your pantry than me. My door has to stay closed! :-)

oh stephanie. once i am allowed to really move into my house I will have a pretty pantry too. I love to just look at clean, organized spaces. I just got word today that my carpet will be delayed another week. It was supposed to be delivered tomorrow. Now it will be 2 weeks from tomorrow. For now all of our stuff is haphazardly thrown in the shop and garage. After all, it was just supposed to be stored there for a week. I have begun organizing our short term storage. It is killing me to look at.

Beautiful! Why not have it look pretty? You look at it every day right? Might as well like it. :)

Wow. It's absolutely gorgeous. Please tell me you have another pantry with all the food in it. Mine could never look like this! But I'm happy to have full cupboards-That means we have plenty of food to eat! :) Thanks for the inspiration!

wow. I am jealous! I like things to be neat and clean too. Being in the army and moving every 2 to 3 years, I have learned to LOVE baskets.

so pretty! I'll try to not be jealous- our townhouse is really really small

A pretty, neat pantry is inviting. And yours is. I am filled with dread to approach ours. You're inspiring me!
