Let’s Talk Organizing!

I have always loved organization and my husband will attest to me loving things always being in their proper places (as much as it annoys him haha). But since we’ve been home so much lately (aka all the time) during this pandemic I’ve really taken the organization thing up a notch. We have more food in our home right now than we usually do (since we’re only grocery shopping every 2 or 3 weeks now instead of weekly) and with everyone home all the time I needed a better system. After scouring Pinterest for organized pantries, today I’m sharing some images that are inspiring me and which items I’ve picked up that are helping me achieve my goal of a more functional and beautiful pantry and home.

This pantry via The Home Edit is so organized and colourful.

Below are all the items you need to have an organized space too. I find the OXO pop containers to be very useful. The larger sizes are great for flour, pasta, sugar – all the staples. The smaller ones are great for everything from baking soda to goldfish crackers. I’m especially loving their cereal containers as they make pouring cereal so much easier for my kids. The candy style ones are just so cute for snacks too!

Baskets are great for organizing things like chip bags and any refills for your containers and they hide the things that aren’t always the prettiest to look at.

Bins are perfect for smaller items – like in the photo above of the kids snacks or organizing similar things like sauces and condiments. Turntables are also excellent for sauces or spices and keep things accessible.

Labels are super useful for easily identifying the contents of the containers (since we recycled all the boxes ha). Etsy has tons of cute labels for all the jars and containers!

Lastly I highly recommend The Home Edit book (and their Instagram) for great tips and tricks and inspiration!
