31 Days of Kitchen Inspiration Day 3: Pantry Organization

Welcome to my 31 Days of Kitchen Inspiration challenge.  I joined up with The Nester and a host of other bloggers who all chose various topics to write about for 31 days straight.  Since I really enjoy anything kitchen related, I chose that topic for my challenge.

For me the pantry is one of those things that you can’t just organize once and forget about, it’s something you have to diligently oversee or it will fall into the same state of disarray that it was before.   Disorder and general untidiness wants to creep in and must be put in check regularly.

Thus I decided to organize the pantry since it was starting to fall into a sad state.  

Here’s some before shots.

It gets worse.

Have you seen enough?  This is bad, folks. I’m even cringing when I look.  Pictures show every little thing – at least that’s what I’m going to blame it on!  Ugh!

How about one more shot of my pantry disorganization?

Those are the painful pictures.  But then I got to work and after several interruptions I finally finished the main part.

So for the after shots of my pantry organization…

I’ll show you tomorrow my thrifty solution for stair-stepping the cans.

Does your pantry stay nice and tidy or do you have to do regular maintenance?
