Ah…the look, feel, organization, and ease of a perfectly organized pantry! You get me? I love knowing every item has a place. I label to make sure we are organized and try to have a quarterly clean out as it is often easy to have items expire, so purging is necessary. Allow me to re-introduce you to my organizing and space guru, Nikki Farris with Simplify Your Space! I love being organized but Nikki takes it to a whole other level so I am blessed to have her wave her magic wand periodically. 

Tips from Nikki:

• Use clear bins as you can see the item/s being housed and you can easily utilize and organize.  

• Organize each clear bin into categories. My categories include; baking, snacks, prepackaged breakfast items, chips, teas, pasta & starches, and sweets.

• Label; use removable labels as things do change.

• Create space with tiered shelves that are perfect for canned goods. You see exactly what you have on hand and it’s such a space saver!

• Incorporate a Lazy Susan to see a variety of pantry items.

When organizing my pantry, I make sure I create space for the following:

• Drinking water, bottled water and distilled water

• Plasticware and disposables

• Dog treats

• Variety of trash liners

• Supplements and first aid

• Entertaining items 

• Vases and vessels
