Another day started.
Good morning!
It is hot this morning.
Let’s make no-sugar juice with fruit ice cubes that I froze.
My daughter loves to play with buttons so she gets to start my blender.
Today I am finally going to organize my pantry.
pantry organization
There is a little space next to my kitchen.
Let’s start with emptying the shelves.
Let's wipe the shelves.
I am going to gather all different kinds of roasted seaweed packages and stack them nicely.
Let’s organize ramen by its type
I now have so many different ramen as I bought them in bulk during quarantine.
It looks more organized when the storage baskets are the same type and same color.
When you store an apple with your potatoes, you can avoid early sprouting.
Store potatoes in a dark place by covering the top with papers.
Let’s cut the box divider insert into a smaller size so that I can place it in my storage basket.
When storing, onions should not be touching each other. This allows any moisture to evaporate.
The height of my storage baskets for potatoes and onions are taller than my shelf inserts.
So I raised the height by placing an empty Pringles containers and seaweed containers underneath.
It looks like it is a stable fit due to the curved grooves at the bottom.
Unless absolutely necessary, try not to buy new items when you try to declutter and organize
Organization starts with utilizing what you already own and getting the most out of them.
Let’s fill the containers that are almost empty.
You can avoid spills and mess when you store powder forms in containers instead of their own packaging.
I also put seaweed in a container for convenient use.
Let’s fill the container with some snacks too.
I also made my own labels today.
Labels are for easy identification.
Also the same type of labels makes your pantry look more organized
The purpose of organizing my pantry is not just for myself to be able to know where and what are in my pantry.
But it is for my whole family to be able to see and easily grab what they need.
Let’s fill the containers with my daughter’s favorite snacks.
It will be easy to grab one snack pouch at a time.
My daughter starts to read letters nowadays, so these labels would help.
Now let’s put them in my pantry nicely.
Just a little break...
It is a shiny bright day.
My pantry seems dark inside, so I installed a mini light that I got from IKEA a few years ago.
It is much brighter now.
Let’s clear the top shelf.
Here I am going to put items that I do not take out often.
I am going to raise the height of shelf insert with Pringles containers once again to utilize this space.
With a height adjusted shelf, my storage basket is a perfect fit.
Let’s take these out from all different packaging and put them in the same containers nicely.
Containers become handy for dried noodles that are fragile.
Let’s fill the containers with cereals too.
Now it is time to put them back in my pantry.
Any leftovers or unopened packages are placed in this big basket.
Things that are not used often are also placed at the back of my pantry.
