I have spent the first two weeks of 2011 going through everything in my home. I have definite Hoarder proclivities. (big word, I know)
So the next few posts will chronicle my adventures in organizing and purging my house.
So today I share with you the adventures of cleaning out my kitchen pantry.
First, I need to see if all of this:
Can fit into this:
My new philosophy in cleaning and organizing has become: Do I love it? Do I use it? So I guess that can work with food too. When my son Josh lived with us for a while we ended up with a lot of organic and whole wheat based food items in the pantry. So there they have remained since he left over a year ago. Do I love it? No. Do I use it? No. So away they went into the trash.
Also, I have been trying to organize using containers. So I separated items into baskets based on their uses. Baking items in one, breakfast items in another, pastas, well you get the drift...
So here is the finished product:
This feels so good.
Tune in again next week to see what I have done in the guest room. My son Tyler and I have renamed the guest room "The Hoarder Room".

LOVE IT! You are amazing!
very jealous...I would love a pantry like that...good job sis
Two walk into our house you would think we are total minimalists. It's very stark and uncluttered. Don't open a cupboard. If I can close a door so i don't have to look at it, chances are, it's Chaos inside. We do have a pantry, but it's full of magazines, place matts and old pots and pans. Good job on your pantry. I'm enveous.
I have a few closets still like that Paul. I am slowly working on all of them.
