Panty Organization

Did I say Panty?  Oops, I meant Pantry!  Yes, pantry organization is what’s up today!  But real quick, yesterday when I was leaving work it was faareezing outside, so I had my gloves on.  Well, I walked to my car and pressed the unlock button.  When my car didn’t light up, I thought that’s weird, maybe I didn’t press the button hard enough.  Instead of pressing it again, I just tried the handle and it opened.  I go to sit down and notice a pink water bottle in the passenger seat.  Hmmm, I don’t remember owning on of those is what went through my head.  And then I looked down and saw an automatic gear shift…..my car is a manual.  I WAS INSIDE SOMEBODY ELSE’S CAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Ahhhhh, I jumped out of that thing like it was on fire.  Can you believe there was an identical silver Mazda 3 parked right next to mine.  Jeepers I felt creepy being inside somebody’s vehicle.

Anyway, moving on!  So, I originally came up with this idea from Leah's blog when she did this to her pantry.  It has been on our to-do list ever since.  You can find the original pin here.

So, this is the before..



Yikes is right!  I mean, who puts wire shelves in the closets?!  As you can see, we have a bajillion bottles & cans (especially all kinds of olive oil from Italy) that love to fall right through or fall over every second. 

So here is the answer…



Self adhesive vinyl tiles.  This is very similar to what we used.  But, really all you do is:

a) clean out your pantry

b) peal and stick your tiles

c) trim up any extras to cover the shelf

d) And then stick everything back on. 

It is neat and organized (just how I like it!) and things don’t fall through the cracks!




Much better right?  Now, I just need to do the same thing to the disaster that is called our linen closet!

Linking up with Katie and Steph!
