So a while back my mom had asked me for a gift that she had wanted for a long time.....to organize her pantry. To me this sounded awesome because I love organizing! A few months went buy though and it just never happened until the other day. So here is the journey to an organized pantry :)

So the Before picture...  Many times before we had tried to organize this but it never happened so we finally decided this was getting ridiculous. So here is the craziness before! {don't judge...ha}
  

Our first round of containers that came in :) If you know me at all I love organizing stuff! I love containers and being able to put everything into little containers...so this site was so exciting! 


 

The first part done :) As you can see oatmeal, snacks, water flavors, caramels, baking powder, brown sugar, powdered sugar, sugar packets, pasta, and marshmallows! 

 

This part below took me 6 hours one day just to get all of that situated! My feet hurt so bad after doing this from standing on my feet all day the day before and then the next day at clinicals! 

 

When doing the cans I knew I HAD to have one of these! You can buy them at target for about $12. I love it because we always have cans but you never have any idea what they are! This stand makes things so nice because you can actually see what you have! The rest of the cans we had we just stored in the basement :)


The first two shelves done :) I may have stood in front of it just looking and admiring it for 5 minutes :) 


The cereal containers :) I love this :) There is a pinterest picture with really cute labels for these! I just have to figure out where to get them from! They say what they are in cute font sideways!  
You can also see my cupcake holders :) We used a pasta container to put those in there! Once again another pinterest idea! 
 
Getting closer to be done! 


And to finish it all off! Our beautiful pantry! With all the cute little baskets and containers you could imagine! 


 

In the top basket I have all of my cupcake stuff  
{I have a ton!} 
so it needed a basket of its own!


 

We have a whole snack shelf! All of the containers are air tight! You press the button and the lid can easily be pulled right off and when you are done you put the lid back on and just push the button back in! So easy! 

 

Basket #1 on the bottom right is filled with all of the extra stuff that didn't fit in the container we had for it ! {Extra powdered sugar, pasta, mints, chocolate chips, etc.} 

 
Basket #2 on the bottom left is just our trash bags! We always store our trash bags there and we weren't going to put a basket there but come on....don't they look cuter in a basket! I think so! 


 

Starting with our little baskets.... 
All of our K cups in one :) 
Baking stuff and bags in the next! 

 

Little extras in the next one {big league chew, popcorn, ramen noodles, etc.} 
The next one is pre cooked bacon..ha we had a lot so we needed a basket for it! Plus we didn't have anything else to put into that basket!


 
The snack section up close :) 

 

Another up close! 

 



 
I had to take an up close of my cupcake holders because I love this idea! It makes storing them so easy! When you don't have anywhere to put them they get smushed and all messed up in the cabinet normally. So this little idea was brilliant in my opinion! 


 
Up close of the can shelf! 

 

And finally the BEFORE and AFTER picture :) 
 

Although you can see this here and it looks beautiful...seeing it in person is so much better:) So don't mind me if you come over and I just so happen to open the pantry doors and leave them open!
