I don't have a pantry. I have two very deep drawers (where food hides under layers of other foods) and a couple of cupboards (where only one shelf is really get-to-able) so dry food storage is always a problem.

A while back got I got a bunch of canisters and that helps a lot. If I can see the cereal I have on hand, it does not get school aged before I eat it.

BUT, I hate hate hate cluttered counter tops. They give me claustrophobia. So... finally today, I made a pantry out of the shelves opposite the kitchen. I cleared off 4 of them and moved all the canisters to the new make shift pantry.

The kitchen looks and, better yet, feels so much better! Ahhhh room to breathe!



And still I can see what's on hand.



I've had my kitchen cluttered with those canisters for years. I have no clue why, today, I decided to fix the problem. But, I'm glad I did.

Today's baseball game looks like it's going to be rained out. Bummer because it's against a National League team in their park so we get to see our pitchers bat which is rare. It hasn't been called off yet but is in the "likely to be rained out" box.

I think I'm going to go make one more doll while I wait to learn the baseball fate.

Your kitchen looks so nice! I need to do a massive clean-up of my kitchen before mom's summer visit. This is rather inspirational.

I LOVE pantries where everything is all out like that. It's so much easier to see what you're running out of (and get inspired for dinner dishes...)

Your shelves look great. There's one wall in my kitchen that has an indentation in it that is several inches deep. The radiator blocks the lower portion of the indentation but I filled the portion above the radiator with shelves that are just the right size for my canister jars and spice tubs. I put a similar-sized shelf above the door too. Even though they're narrow shelves shoved in odd places, they hold a lot of stuff that would otherwise take up a lot of room.
