this closet has always been a problem with me I haven't really been cleaning
out decluttering getting rid of things but this closet is horrible and I'm
going to turn this closet into my kitchen pantry and I'm gonna show you in
a little bit why so this closet everything is coming out of here I'm
gonna sort through it put it out in my canning garage and put it in places
where I know where it's at and then I'm gonna put all of my spices and my bulk
baking items in here because what's happening is all of my bulk
baking items are here I can't find them it's just too much it's hard to see and
this is gonna be where my microwave and other things are I'm redoing my whole
kitchen I'm decluttering whoa it's gonna take me all day I thought my kitchen is
cluttered it's an organized cluttered I want to clear out so I have room for
this spring when I do a lot of harvesting of my vegetables of my herbs
I need to have a kitchen that is streamlined
and it's cleaned up without so much clutter and that means that closet is
going to be my key to having things more organized so the first thing we have to
do is clean out that closet so that closet is ready - so the first thing we
have to do is clean out that closet so here is the before
I learned a trick a long time ago is using your wheelbarrow if you want to
transport a lot of things at one time so all the things in this wheelbarrow are
going into my canning garage so what I'm doing is instead of putting everything
in here and just throwing it in there I'm taking the extra time and I'm
putting everything away out there so it takes twice as long to do it
but at the end of the day everything is done correctly so I'm taking wheelbarrow
loads after wheelbarrow loads out they're putting it where it needs to go
all of my seasonal my prepping items my home is built around prepping and so
everything in my home has to do with some sort of prepping or long-term
survival so that stuff is going out into kiding garage and now this stuff has to
go into the wheelbarrow once that's empty so we're just going to
keep taking everything out of closet and once everything is out of the closet
we're going to clean it and then we're gonna start organizing and I think it's
really gonna make a difference well everyone I did it I have no heat on in
the house it's 50 degrees I have hot flashes and I'm working like crazy but
everything is removed oh my word was that ever work so everything here is
removed I'm happy to announce now what I gotta do is I gotta clean off the
shelves vacuum everything up and then we're gonna put one thing in at a time
so I'm gonna start with the smaller the jar and then down to the largest this is
going to be my pantry for my cooking and all of the dry goods that I have and I'm
hoping I can get more in here that I think I can I have this area right here
I wish I had some shelves or something I don't so I'm not sure what I'm gonna do
here because every bit of space for me is so important I have to use up every
space because I'm trying to take everything out of my kitchen
and put it nicely in here so I can just close the door and walk away and have
everything organized and then my kitchen is free of clutter
I don't mind clutter because my clutter is all useful items but in the summer I
need my kitchen I need my kitchen counters cleaned off I have a really
small kitchen somebody said on my tour Vidia they
loved it but they'd like to see the rest of my house and I was like um that is
the rest of my house this is my house the kitchen the little family area my
bedroom and a pantry that's it that's it people so I didn't know what they were
looking to find but this is my house it's not tiny living but let me tell you
what it's small living that's for sure I only have the closets in the bedroom and
this closet it's the only closets I have in this house so let me keep on working
you
great the shelves
all the dried food on the shelves and see how many we can fit on here
that is everything and look at all the room I have now I can go into the
canning pantry and put some things here look how much room my god this is
amazing this is exactly what I was hoping I was hoping I could put more
things in here have it organized and then not have it out on top of my
counters so much this is perfect I am extremely happy and I'll show you when
we're done so the only one is the finished product so there you go
everyone it's the finished project up top is we'll have some herbs and my
centrioles and I have my dry goods dried goods way down the bottom I have all of
my baking supplies so there you go I turned this closet into a pantry and now
I can clean up my kitchen and it won't be so cluttered so let's see what the
kitchen looks like
you
