My new home, fresh new start
After busy days due to my recent move,
We are here at the end of May.
Today my family is taking a little break and we came to a lake near my new home.
We are settling in a new home.
Today I am going to start by organizing a small space in front of the powder room.
In my previous house, I used this furniture as a small bookshelf in my daughter’s room.
Even the old furniture feels new when I use it differently in a different space.
I placed toilet paper and towels here.
This furniture I bought a long time ago moved from the kitchen, to my daughter’s room, and now to the powder room.
Let’s finish up my kitchen now.
I placed washing bowls and strainers near the kitchen sink,
and pans and pots close to the stove.
I am going to finally finish labelling I’ve made a long time ago.
I am also going to finish organizing my pantry today.
The pantry size itself is smaller compared to my old house, but there are more shelves.
uh oh
Due to the increased number of shelves, each shelf has a shorter height in between.
I’ve gotta place the tall containers on the top shelf.
If I put brittle noodles in these tall containers,
it is easier to store and easier to take out and use.
Let’s stock up coffee beans.
The scent of the coffee beans makes my day =)
Utilizing your space and getting the most out of your space… that is how the organization starts.
The onion basket should be placed below the eye level to make it easier to pick up one by one.
The paper partitions I showed you in my previous pantry organization video minimize the contact to each other and allows any moisture to evaporate.
I did not buy anything new that fits this new space,
but I started my organization by using what I already have and placing them here and there to find the perfect space and perfect usage.
uh oh
Due to the nature of these wire shelves, big containers are stuck on the top.
So I placed smaller containers on top as they are easier to tilt and take out from the shelves.
I am going to cut long seaweed into smaller pieces so they are easier to store and grab.
Fold the packaging to cut the seaweed before taking it out so that it is less messy.
Make sure to check the storage instruction one more time to safely consume them all and not to make them go bad.
I bought chickpeas to mix with rice and also to make hummus.
The purpose of my pantry organization is to easily find, to easily grab, and to easily see the inventory at a glance!
I am going to gather up all the snacks and put them in the lower shelves so that my little girl can also grab them easily.
It is easier to organize when you divide the sections and place the similar types together.
Fortunately the old basket I used to use is a good fit for these shelves.
I placed bulky snacks in this basket.
I placed what I don’t take out often at the back of the shelves, and my daughter’s snacks in front.
My husband’s lunch snacks are placed here too.
It is a perfect height for my daughter who is always very curious about what I am doing =P
Let’s utilize the corner space too.
I placed the rice containers that could be quite heavy on the floor instead of upper shelves.
I am going to make a simple ice cream bar for my daughter.
Yogurt, any kind of fruit, and an ice cream mold are all you need.
Place the bar from inside to out.
When you put it backward, the finished ice cream bar won’t come out at the end (I’ve been there before lol)
My daughter is excited to make ice cream bars together.
She is busy making and eating too.
You can add honey or any fruit of your choice too.
Just put the lid on and freeze it. That’s it for making simple and less sugary ice cream bars.
Pineapple shaped ice cream bar with strawberries in it.
Thanks for watching my video and hope to see you all in my next video again.
