Pantry Organization

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

    O.k. so I just had to share.  The first of this year I set a very lofty goal - to organize some part of my house every day until I had worked my way through the whole house - I started the year off great by organizing my office desk and that’s where it stopped!  So much for New Year’s resolutions.  Well, I’ve revised the goal to organize one part of my house each month.  So this month it was my pantry in the garage. 

Basket messpantry before 

I have a very small pantry in my kitchen so I store alot of my canned  goods in the garage.  Now you may look at the photo and think - it looks pretty good to me.  Well it looked good with it’s rows of matching white baskets but it was not very functional or effective.  I never really knew how many cans I had or of what and it was impossible to make sure I rotated the cans.  In fact when I was cleaning it out I found 6 cans of mandarin oranges from 2001 that were BULGING and a found two huge containers of sesame seeds, probably a lifetime supply! Yikes!

So during a trip to Costco this week I discovered the Cansolidator!  It is an amazing little device that not only keeps your cans organized but it rotates them automatically for you.  It is so cool!  No more bulging cans for me. I bought four of them and now not only does my pantry shelf look good - it’s functional too!  I kept a few of the baskets to hold oversized cans and other bottles that don’t fit into the Cansolidator.  Isn’t it pretty!

Wow this looks amazing. I will have to check them out for my pantry too. Thanks for sharing.

I think I have “organizing envy” - my pantry really needs those things!!! I am going to have to look around here, not sure where, but I WILL find them!!! LOL!!!

Just passing by, loved your site.

I’ve been thinking about getting these for some time. How many 16ish oz cans does a row hold? I’m guessing 5, but hoping for 6 or 7! LOL

I have 7 rows on mine!

Thx for the quick response! So I could have something like 9 rows across with 7 cans each. Woo Hoo! This is gonna cost me some $$!

Actually it’s 7 rows of cans across with 9-10 cans in each row.

Wow, that is really organized. Good for you! The cansolidators look great!

Welcome

My number one priority
has been and will always be
my family.
But I also feel strongly
that it is possible
for women to incorporate
all their interests,
goals and ambitions
into a balanced life.
I love working with women and helping to inspire them to achieve their goals and dreams while still maintaining motherhood and family as
their number one priority.
