I had the absolute pleasure of helping a new homeowner create a look for her new pantry (this is a HUGE pantry) in her 4-day-old-home. Check it out!

R. wanted a clean look... she has lots of categories of snacks, nuts, raisins, granola bars, etc. that she wanted accessible for her 5 and 7 year old. We gave her lots of eye-level labeled bins to do so. R. had plenty of room for this... don't plan on doing this in a small pantry. |
|
On the next shelf up, we placed open bins to contain like items... rice, pasta, vinegars, and oils, to name a few. We placed the lids on the shelf as a place holder (and to keep the clean color-line there). |
|
Cans, stocks, soups, and sauces were grouped together and placed accordingly on the shelves. |
|
R. wanted a place for her girls to get their own breakfast, so we placed the cereals in easy to open, easy to pour containers on the bottom shelf. The girls were so excited to see (and happy to not have to deal with flimsy boxes). You may notice the boxes at the end of the shelf... those are boxes that are either unopened, or overflow on the snapware containers. R. promised that in the future, her family would only have 5 open kinds of cereal! |

Here's the overall look of this shelf. Thanks R.! |
