Feb. 26, 2006 - Conquering the kitchen pantry

I have been encouraged by MrsCatherine to work on decluttering and organizing our home. Actually, I have worked hard over the years to do this and have things fairly under control. One area that I seem to have a hard time keeping organized is the kitchen pantry. Things seem to pile up and begin looking messy despite my good intentions.

Today I spent a good portion of the afternoon cleaning the shelves, lining them with what I like to call "happy" shelf paper (it makes me smile when I see red!), reorganizing the shelves and getting it in working condition. I was quite pleased with my afternoon's efforts. Apparently so were dh and dc. They complimented me on how nice it looked several times throughout the evening. Now if I can just keep it this way!

I just LOVE the happy paper. You're soooo right that it livened up your pantry. Now if only I HAD a pantry....but then I'd have to organize it, right? :)

THis is one of my hard areas to keep organized. It always ends up cluttered. I have tried so many different systems and none seem to satisfy me. Thanks for the inspiration to try again. I love the paper!
