I buy the $5 big box of salad greens at safeway. The lid doesn't really seal back up right. The salad tended to get damp & go bad or get slimy even though I eat it pretty quickly. Bought a shoe container w lid at $ tree. The salad fits perfect in it & has a lid that snaps on. Put a paper towel in on top & it stays fresher a lot longer
I dont mean to be so offtopic but does anybody know of a trick to log back into an instagram account?? I was dumb forgot my account password. I appreciate any tips you can offer me.
This video was very helpful. My favorite tips were not labeling everything, buying extra storage supplies, making room for miscellaneous items and the 1 step in 1 step out system. These are all the reasons my previous systems didn't work, now I see and I feel more confident going forward.
I've had large pantries when all three kids were at home. Now it's just the two of us. Just the same, food in cans esp. go out of date because things are all over the kitchen. I don't even know what I have anymore. This gets it all in one spot, organized and visual to know just what our options for a meal include. Fabulous video! Loved every minute!
Thank you for bringing me right back to reality.. I was ready to run to Ikea and by $500.00 worth of organization elements. This is super solid advice! Thanks so much!!! : )
Wish there was a love button. This was amazing. The information and editing you did a great job. Yes you definitely need a show. Maybe a book on organization, cook book, some of the crafty things you make. You go girl!!
Totally agree with you! I am a youtube organization video junkie lol! I am always looking for new videos/youtubers to watch to fill the gaps of when the youtubers I am subscribed to haven't uploaded haha. And I noticed they all do the same thing, same containers, etc. It is really easy to see who is only organizing their pantry for cosmetic reasons or just to show off on social media. And then you can definitely see who is organizing for practical and realistic reasons. Pinterest is amazing but it also fills our mind with superficial desires. Love that you talked about this!
Right! Honestly, the hate the over organized spaces! I've seen some videos where everything is labeled, including the label maker...too much! Plus the amount of money some spend on containers is ridiculous!
I cringe when ppl label everything! Like, do you really need to label "pasta" or "cookies"?? I mean, I get it if you have little children who are still learning what things are but i've seen grown women, like you said, that label every little thing and it's just too much lol. But whatever floats your boat right? =P
jeigh well I can say that honestly that means a lot to hear. I try to walk a thin line between doable and really nice. Lol. I feel like I've done good for quite a while now so I appreciate the feedback. 💕
I stared watching organization videos because I'm not a very organize person, and I was tired to see my very clean and organized friend's house and mime wasn't😢😢 This is why I'm watching your video this time, and I loved it!! Thank you so much for the information👍💕
This came at the perfect time!! I thought my daughters room was very cluttered with stuff (21 years old). I told her we were decluttering the house. Everything out of the closets, drawers, etc.. And put on the beds and table. Cleaned all surfaces in there and then put away. I gave her six large garbage bags and told her to label donate or garbage if she didn't want it back in her space. Well she filled them, but so did I. I thought I stayed on that pretty good. Naturally I did the bedroom and restroom first so I could sleep. Today I'm tackling the kitchen. Taking a tea break right now and so inspired by your video. I'm ready now and will sleep with peace tonight at an uncluttered organized home. My daughter and I love her bedroom. She had the day off but volunteered to work a shift. Sorry so long but you have given me the inspiration to do my kitchen today. I was so tired from the other work that I really just wanted to put it away without any thought. God sent me your message at just the right time lol☺
I've had failing pantry systems ad well. You learn as you go what what works. I basicly liked the explaining of do what works for you and you explaining the F-I-F-O which a lot of people may not know. I loved the explanations on getting orginized. I am some what or orginized for the small space I have but do try to make my organization better. Thanks. You were very good in my opinion on explaining it. I have a well stocked pantry but it's small very but keep it neat as I can for limited space I use containers and baskets. Love them and so far works. Thanks again
FIFO. First in first out. I like how you explain things. Many, many videos don't explain this and don't really have food storage. If you've seen any OF those. I've seen plenty for the heck of it. But like getting ideas. I use containers, baskets and so forth. I worked in a military day care in the kitchen so I have that skill of some organization and fifo and how long to store things in frig and on shelf and food handling. Love how you explain things. Thanks.
Thank you for posting this video! Before I moved to Texas from PA, I had a 6 month pantry and a 6 month larder. I had a room and a half to work with. Down here I have to work with less space and your tips and tricks have helped me develop a 3 month pantry. Thank you for sharing ❤
bronwin windsong that's perfect. Modifying your lifestyle to fit available space to fit your needs. That's exactly what you're supposed to do. Good job💕
Thank you! The "one step" rule is something I hadn't really thought about, but will determine my approach as I finish re-organizing my kitchen. I'm in the middle of the job right now and wanted to check youtube for some ideas!
I reorganized the cans last night, already have soo much more room!!!! I only have 2 big cabinets & small over the stove for food storage I love you already !!!!
I want to congratulate you, for me this is a very thoughtful, realistic, helpful, inspiring, A+ vidio. You are one of the very few UA-camr that truly have inspired me to organize and make the best out of what I have with out stressing out for what I don't have (a well needed PANTRY) so THANK YOU!! GREAT VIDEO.
Great information! Giving me something to think about. I hate my pantry, and have been dragging my feet about reorganizing. You've inspired me! My pantry is so deep in, that we are constantly forgetting about items in there. Don't really know how to tackle it, except drawers. We have one, but it is flimsy. We had an over the door organizer, but because the shelves went almost to the door, the pantry door wouldn't shut properly. My husband ended up hanging it on the laundry room wall where it is utilized much better. I really enjoy your videos, your hauls, your DIYs, your organization, everything! I've been inspired many times and especially to think outside the box. 😊☺
We are a large family and our kids eat everything. So dates are not a problem for us. Plus we try to be a reduce waste family so we eat everything we buy as it cycles. Maybe a dry erase marker can help with that. Just write it on the lid. Once used erase it and put the new date. It can be easy.
i have a 3 ring binder that i keep the instructions in ,like pancake mix , i cut out them and put in the book and not taping them to the jar or containers, i use clear sleeves
I'm so glad you put it out there about what work for you and it's not what's hot this year.People need to remember to get inspired not just copy. Love the video love looking at your kitchen.My not done yet still need to add something to make it work the pantry is so hard for me I think something would work and then it don't because i can't find what I'm looking for so you Settled for something else and that don't work
This lady has the absolute most sensible suggestions I have ever seen. Two points: - I think that putting the label/tape on the lid is risky because you could accidentally put the lid back on the wrong product. There is at least one case of a lady who sprinkled baking soda instead of powdered sugar on a desert and it was found out only after people tried to eat it at an event. I suggest the chalk board labels I have bought from Amazon on the actual container which you can erase with a wet paper towel and rewrite on it when it dries. I also discreetly write the expiration date e.g. 8/31/18 and know what it is there for. - Putting product continually out of its packaging in containers could lead to the bottom portion going stale as you keep refilling it. I do this for baking products and still have this issue so any good suggestions would be appreciated.
S TR For the “stale” product. That’s why I specified using the FIFO method. You don’t refill with new until the old is done. I still have this system exactly how it is in this video and we have not had that issue. But properly implementing the method is very important. Great observations👍🏼🖤
I purchase most of my spices in bulk from an Indian market (huge savings!) and repackage them in cleaned glass jars. I then cut the label from the empty package and tape it to the jar with clear packing tape. This isn't necessary in all instances. But handy when repacking curry vs red pepper, etc.
notice your brown sugar storage when I remove mine from the bag it gets hard what do you do to prevent this? love your small pantry video when my grandson moved out had to make one with supplies, he really like it he loves using spices more than I do, and love the ideal he could place over a closet door but right in the kitchen were he could use it, thanks so much, might be something you could teach storing different food items outside there packaging
Vickie Sizemore I keep my brown sugar in dollar tree canisters (the plastic ones with the green or red lids) and they never turn hard. See if that might work for you!
I am so guilty of labeling too specifically! I always label my cereal containers with the specific type of cereal. It really doesn't make much sense as I buy whatever is a good deal so the type varies. One example of working harder, not smarter! 😫
I just watched this. I just organized my new home a few months ago, so this was helpful, but way after the fact! Lol I label my cereal as well, but it’s on a chalkboard label that can be erased so it can change when I buy different cereal so the kids know what cereal is available. They can tell me which ones they dislike or I can see that they don’t like it because it’s in a clear container.
Thank you for all your good tips. My question is -If you put the pastas in containers, how do you know how long to cook them? Different pastas take different amounts of time. I have cut a part of the box with the directions and put it in container, but do you have a better idea?
+Ruth Barton I actually cook by sight so I never the the correct "time". I've never had any issues with mixing pasta styles that are the same type of pasta base. unless a totally different base then I'm sure it's fine. Yes. I keep the instructions to things I'm not sure about on the bottoms or backs of my jars but I figured everyone shows that so I didn't need to cover it in this video. But great question for maybe those that are new to organizing. Tfw💕
thank you for the not so known tips. i have listened to many vids and yours helped the most to keep my feet on the ground. and i have always wondered how they knew all at once what needed to be done. now i know. thanks
thank you for this video Paloma I am learning so much from you I have my parents living with me now and I have to change the amount of food I bring in now without it being to expensive
Hi Paloma and Y'all! The research period was the best tip of all. It's the foundation of a successful pantry in my book. Your time in restaurants shows in your your pantry and kitchen - Organized, clean and efficient! The label making business probably isn't happy with this video, but I am lol! I love clear containers for most staples, but I do use freezer masking tape and Sharpies too :) Love your door organizer system too. Excellent video! Keep them coming please. You might just end up on HGTV one day :)
How smart is that to use a 2 "' x 4" for heavy items ? This is an excellent tutorial no nonsense and that covers all points. Works for all family members and can be applied to other areas that need organizing. Do you have a video for hubby's closet, dresser drawers, bathroom living room etc? Wow ! I need help. Thanks for sharing.
I love this video! So very professional! The special effects are perfect!! The information is really good and yes no one talks about this stuff! Thanks so much!
Have you ever done a craft space organization tips and tricks video, if so, let me know. I could really use some help in that area. And I just love Dollar Tree, but the store closest to me (30 miles away) doesn't seem to have a lot of the really cool acrylic storage containers I've seen you use before. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Love, love all of your organization videos. Becky
Hello and thank you for your time. This segment was very useful. Isn't it amazing how we can overlook and not think about the smaller things about our projects. Thank you so much for this info. I have a challenge for you: Book shelf! How cheap can you go without it looking tacky? Can you do it?
Love the video. Are the shelves of your pantry solid or did you cover wire shelves with some type of liner? We moved into our new home 6 months ago and our pantry is wire shelves. I am struggling to get and keep it organized.
Janet Richardson no way. Just solid wood and I'm happy about that for that exact reason. You can get boards cut to size at Home Depot and just set them on those shelves. Problem solved. That's what I would do.
Yes! 80 percent of fixing your storage system is preparation! My lady gets excited about the result of projects and won;t let me plan. This is great info, and I agree about bringing my commercial cooking skills and ideas into the home.
What do you do with pre-packaged box mixes, like rice a roni or macc and cheese? Do you leave them in the original packaging? Thanks, love your videos.
Jrprez22 we actually don’t purchase product like that for everyday use. I actually challenged myself long ago to make those products from scratch. It actually costs way less, taste better and has less preservatives. That is definitely a personal choice. I do have a No Pantry No Problem video in my organization playlist that uses Pre packaged Mac N Cheese and offers a solution. 👍🏼🖤
Shannon Waller I actually use tiny rectangular price tag stickers. Lol you get a ton on one sheet and you can change them out easily. 👍🏼🖤 I don’t remember where I got them exactly but you can find them pretty much anywhere that carries office supplies.
I love the look of your pantry. I wish I could implement such a system with uniform containers, however my middle child is diabetic. It is just easier to find carbohydrates on the nutritional information located on the box...
Gurl l wish I had a pantry 😭 but it's a great 👍🏻 idea to keep in mine ... but need to work on these cabinets! Thks for sharing your ideas and videos 💕🤗
Thanks this was a super helpful video! I'm always watching videos thinking 'do these people just cook the same stuff all the time?' 'where do you put that random thing you buy one time to try that new recipe and you don't know if you're ever gonna buy it again?' and it was so good to see someone talk about that!! :)
Yes. My cooking style is way different now. I strive for more scratch cooking these days in our new house but the systems stay pretty much the same. That makes me happy because it wasn’t hard to transition the system. Just needed to change the products.
THANK YOU FOR THE TIPS I WILL DEFINITELY KEEP THAT IN MINE ,LOVE YOUR VEDIOS GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY I HAVE SHARED THE VEDIO WITH ALOT OF COUSINS , AND THEY HAVE STARTED THANK YOU AGAIN....
Luz Posada We converted our downstairs coat closet into a dry food storage closet because it never worked properly for us as a closet. So they are stored in there and go directly into my bins for weekly lunch grab products. I'll put a stations video up soon.
You are definitely the Queen-B of organizations. ....I knew u would have something good lined up for Me lol... ty lookg forward to that viv.... Fyi only u knw how many times I view ur vivs for reference i would be embarrassed! !! But truly they help me get my home in order
Love the content! And beautiful pantry! Thanks for the tips! 👌🏼 My only hopefully helpful criticism is lighting. I can't see some of the things in the pantry very clearly either because of too much or too little lighting; so basically the positioning of your light.
Great video as always!! Very helpful! Thanks for sharing! Sadly my house doesn't have a pantry just kitchen cabinets but I can use the info you discussed! ❤️
my pantry is just soooooo stinking tiny. i've redone it i dont know how many times, but it just keeps exploding. thanks for the inspiring video. you're always straight forward, honest, and efficient and i appreciate it. by the way, if you ever come to TN, u can come help me with my pantry, hahah jk
This video is fabulous!! You have made such a professional video and all the new technical updates add. for a smooth look. I love your organization videos. Thank you ❤❤
I got really great ideas from this video!! It's just the researching and trying to decide what system will work for me. My pantry is cupboard style and very deep! Tfs!! 💜
Great video!! I love putting my dry foods in matching canisters. Even though it's the same amount of clutter, it looks a whole lot less cluttered because they all match. Especially when they have to be out in the open because of very limited cupboard space. Plus, at shopping list making time, it's really easy to see what you're running low on. Love your channel!!
Wow, so honest, lol, I am new to lookin at organizational skills for my home, as we are ageing and our girl is growing, with our son moved out. I do not want to be a horder.
Bridgette Furrow yes I do but our lives are changing drastically. Soooooo I will miss this kitchen for sure because we worked so hard on it. 😢🖤 but all things are for the better when it’s Gods timing. 👍🏼
Hi Paloma , I have been Subscribe to your Channel for a couple of years now and I've been busy being a Sahm and all that good stuff and I'm now getting back to binge watching your videos, and I just recently starting making my own videos on YT and curious if you have Any tips on editing and what equipment you use for making your videos ?
Sonya E Carolina awesome!!!! But girl. I just use iMovie on my iPhone and now imovie on my new MacBook Pro. Before that I used and still use movie maker on my computer. Just use what you got and you'll do fine. 💕
coupontoprovide Awesome I'm using Movie maker too , all the other editing software is so expensive I watch other small channel who always ask for donations so they can travel to YT convention but use expensive editing programs and have expensive equipment. So I'm over confused .
Sonya E Carolina girl no. Do not ask for donations. That's all bull shit. You can do fine on your own. As long as with every video you try your best to be better, you will get it. Just focus on you and your progress. Write down small issues you may have when editing and try to solve them one at a time.
I buy the $5 big box of salad greens at safeway. The lid doesn't really seal back up right. The salad tended to get damp & go bad or get slimy even though I eat it pretty quickly.

Nicely organized pantry, thank you for sharing your organizing tips. I have now added my pantry to my next organizing project. ✨

AZ Shopping Princess FAM She does.
AZ Shopping Princess FAM I keep saying this, also we need to get her to 100 k subbies, she definitely should get her UA-cam 100k subbie trophie
You guys are very sweet. Thank you💕

Before I moved to Texas from PA, I had a 6 month pantry and a 6 month larder. I had a room and a half to work with. Down here I have to work with less space and your tips and tricks have helped me develop a 3 month pantry. Thank you for sharing ❤

I love the shoe rack idea, I have about 3 feet of open space above my top pantry/laundry shelf. Definitely going to get 1.
Thank you
I reorganized the cans last night, already have soo much more room!!!! I only have 2 big cabinets & small over the stove for food storage
I love you already !!!!
I want to congratulate you, for me this is a very thoughtful, realistic, helpful, inspiring, A+ vidio. You are one of the very few UA-camr that truly have inspired me to organize and make the best out of what I have with out stressing out for what I don't have (a well needed PANTRY) so THANK YOU!!

So wish I could help. I've always wanted to tackle a deep pantry. 💕
💖 I know it'll have to be some kind of drawer system. Just haven't come up with the right kind. 💖
i am a first timer and this is amazing! This is far the best I have seen! Wow...I Love it
How WONDERFUL is this video. Thank you for sharing, such professionalism. I agree you need your own show.... Blessings
i like when you wrapped the two by four to put in pantry to see whats in behunded and your spice wrack.
if you dont label how do you know the expiration dates on products?
We are a large family and our kids eat everything. So dates are not a problem for us. Plus we try to be a reduce waste family so we eat everything we buy as it cycles. Maybe a dry erase marker can help with that. Just write it on the lid. Once used erase it and put the new date. It can be easy.
i have a 3 ring binder that i keep the instructions in ,like pancake mix , i cut out them and put in the book and not taping them to the jar or containers, i use clear sleeves

Tru_ Passion just hang on to receipts. If it doesn't work. Return it. Easy and stress free. 💕
This lady has the absolute most sensible suggestions I have ever seen.
Two points:
- I think that putting the label/tape on the lid is risky because you could accidentally put the lid back on the wrong product. There is at least one case of a lady who sprinkled baking soda instead of powdered sugar on a desert and it was found out only after people tried to eat it at an event. I suggest the chalk board labels I have bought from Amazon on the actual container which you can erase with a wet paper towel and rewrite on it when it dries. I also discreetly write the expiration date e.g. 8/31/18 and know what it is there for.
- Putting product continually out of its packaging in containers could lead to the bottom portion going stale as you keep refilling it. I do this for baking products and still have this issue so any good suggestions would be appreciated.
S TR For the “stale” product. That’s why I specified using the FIFO method. You don’t refill with new until the old is done. I still have this system exactly how it is in this video and we have not had that issue. But properly implementing the method is very important. Great observations👍🏼🖤
Thank you so much...
Tyvm great job explaining your pantry and how to set up a pantry ..
I know this is an older video... BUT this is all such good and thoughtful advice. Thank you!!
Thanks you help me I have a small but workable pantry and I order a few baskets and I measure my space always ..for my small home 💜✌🏽
I purchase most of my spices in bulk from an Indian market (huge savings!) and repackage them in cleaned glass jars. I then cut the label from the empty package and tape it to the jar with clear packing tape.
This isn't necessary in all instances. But handy when repacking curry vs red pepper, etc.
I also don't label pasta, nuts, and so on because it's obvious at a glance what these are.
notice your brown sugar storage when I remove mine from the bag it gets hard what do you do to prevent this? love your small pantry video when my grandson moved out had to make one with supplies, he really like it he loves using spices more than I do, and love the ideal he could place over a closet door but right in the kitchen were he could use it, thanks so much, might be something you could teach storing different food items outside there packaging

I will add thank you for your response
Vickie Sizemore my pleasure! I know it's tough to keep our pantry items fresh but we all do our best'
Thank you so much for the many tips. This video is very informative and different than any video I've seen regarding pantry organization. Thanks

Please tell me, do those can organizer that is a dish rack, is it flat inside or have slots for plates???

Your time in restaurants shows in your your pantry and kitchen - Organized, clean and efficient! The label making business probably isn't happy with this video, but I am lol! I love clear containers for most staples, but I do use freezer masking tape and Sharpies too :)
Love your door organizer system too. Excellent video! Keep them coming please. You might just end up on HGTV one day :)
Tina Kloepfer I'm so glad you get it and enjoyed! I don't know about tv. I'm to literal for all that. Lol. 💕
Thanks you for sharing. Where do you keep your small appliances?
We only have a blender and a bullet so we don’t have that concern. Oh! And a waffle maker. But that’s little and flat.
How smart is that to use a 2 "' x 4" for heavy items ? This is an excellent tutorial no nonsense and that covers all points. Works for all family members and can be applied to other areas that need organizing. Do you have a video for hubby's closet, dresser drawers, bathroom living room etc? Wow ! I need help. Thanks for sharing.
Celia Mitchell yes. I have an organization playlist and we still use every one of those methods. 👍🏼🖤
Hi Paloma these are great tips & organization. My favorite tip is labeling makes it easier for my family.
I love this video! So very professional! The special effects are perfect!! The information is really good and yes no one talks about this stuff! Thanks so much!
tfs! you really did point out good tips and things of how to think things through when organizing our space.
Thank you so much this was very useful I have been trying to figure out how to organize our super small pantry
Loved everything about this video!! Even though I don't have a pantry 😫I can still use all of these great ideas!!
yes!!!
Michelle Stoffle I will be doing a fridge video at some point. Lol💕
Have you ever done a craft space organization tips and tricks video, if so, let me know. I could really use some help in that area. And I just love Dollar Tree, but the store closest to me (30 miles away) doesn't seem to have a lot of the really cool acrylic storage containers I've seen you use before. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Love, love all of your organization videos. Becky
Hello and thank you for your time. This segment was very useful. Isn't it amazing how we can overlook and not think about the smaller things about our projects. Thank you so much for this info. I have a challenge for you: Book shelf! How cheap can you go without it looking tacky? Can you do it?
Love the video. Are the shelves of your pantry solid or did you cover wire shelves with some type of liner? We moved into our new home 6 months ago and our pantry is wire shelves. I am struggling to get and keep it organized.
Janet Richardson no way. Just solid wood and I'm happy about that for that exact reason. You can get boards cut to size at Home Depot and just set them on those shelves. Problem solved. That's what I would do.
First time here, and as I was listening to you, I was like... is she from Texas? And low and behold... you are!! Great video!!
Erin Perez yes!🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Yes! 80 percent of fixing your storage system is preparation! My lady gets excited about the result of projects and won;t let me plan. This is great info, and I agree about bringing my commercial cooking skills and ideas into the home.
Thank you for those 7 tips. You are definitely a life coach. I can use these 7 tips.
What do you do with pre-packaged box mixes, like rice a roni or macc and cheese? Do you leave them in the original packaging? Thanks, love your videos.
Jrprez22 we actually don’t purchase product like that for everyday use. I actually challenged myself long ago to make those products from scratch. It actually costs way less, taste better and has less preservatives. That is definitely a personal choice. I do have a No Pantry No Problem video in my organization playlist that uses Pre packaged Mac N Cheese and offers a solution. 👍🏼🖤
Where did you find your jars with the rice,flour please? I am off today and need to organize my awful pantry. Great ideas! Thank you for sharing.
maggie v King Dollar but Walmart has some similar. 👍🏼🖤
TFS and helping out those who don't know what to do. But what kind of labels did u use on ur spices? and where did u purchase them?
Shannon Waller I actually use tiny rectangular price tag stickers. Lol you get a ton on one sheet and you can change them out easily. 👍🏼🖤 I don’t remember where I got them exactly but you can find them pretty much anywhere that carries office supplies.
I love the look of your pantry. I wish I could implement such a system with uniform containers, however my middle child is diabetic. It is just easier to find carbohydrates on the nutritional information located on the box...
Get an Alexa. Just ask her for info.
Or cut the info off and keep them in a particular place.
Fabulous!! Very helpful! Was already going to be working on this over the weekend!!
redheartedmakeup good luck!💕
Gurl l wish I had a pantry 😭 but it's a great 👍🏻 idea to keep in mine ... but need to work on these cabinets! Thks for sharing your ideas and videos 💕🤗
I love the 2×4 idea! That will help me fix a problem I have! Tfs 💜from NC
Your lovely assistant deserves the Vanna White Award.
I use painters tape to label- as it doesn't leave a residue
TY for this great tip!
I see the cups on the wall. What kind of hanger are you using?
Diane Dishman its a hanging spice rack that you can find at Walmart. 👍🏼🖤
Thanks this was a super helpful video! I'm always watching videos thinking 'do these people just cook the same stuff all the time?' 'where do you put that random thing you buy one time to try that new recipe and you don't know if you're ever gonna buy it again?' and it was so good to see someone talk about that!! :)
Yes. My cooking style is way different now. I strive for more scratch cooking these days in our new house but the systems stay pretty much the same. That makes me happy because it wasn’t hard to transition the system. Just needed to change the products.
I am looking for the video you talked about the $6 diy door rack. Can you help please?
Here you go: 🖤

Luz Posada We converted our downstairs coat closet into a dry food storage closet because it never worked properly for us as a closet. So they are stored in there and go directly into my bins for weekly lunch grab products. I'll put a stations video up soon.
You are definitely the Queen-B of organizations. ....I knew u would have something good lined up for Me lol... ty lookg forward to that viv....
Fyi only u knw how many times I view ur vivs for reference i would be embarrassed! !! But truly they help me get my home in order
Love the content! And beautiful pantry! Thanks for the tips! 👌🏼 My only hopefully helpful criticism is lighting. I can't see some of the things in the pantry very clearly either because of too much or too little lighting; so basically the positioning of your light.
Great information that is still relevant in 2024. Thanks.
Thanks for watching! 🖤
Great video as always!! Very helpful! Thanks for sharing! Sadly my house doesn't have a pantry just kitchen cabinets but I can use the info you discussed! ❤️
my pantry is just soooooo stinking tiny. i've redone it i dont know how many times, but it just keeps exploding. thanks for the inspiring video. you're always straight forward, honest, and efficient and i appreciate it. by the way, if you ever come to TN, u can come help me with my pantry, hahah jk
Great presentation and nice job on the tips. Love the covered 2x4s!
Thanx 4 the huge information u gave.. i loved the fact that I don't need to label everything 😅👌🏻💃🏻🎉
Great video! We collect mugs and I have been wanting to find something to hag them. Where did you get the one that you are using for yours?
Southern Angels Btq. It’s a $1.25 Barr wood rack from the dollar store that I painted black. 👍🏼🖤
Hi Paloma...love all you do..I have learned so much...do you have an Ibotta link?
+melissa Arrington I do and you get $10 back on your first rebate too if you join our team through my link: ibotta.com/r/bloeg
Great video!! I agree on so many of your tips! Very helpful!!
This video is fabulous!! You have made such a professional video and all the new technical updates add. for a smooth look. I love your organization videos. Thank you ❤❤
I really enjoyed this video. Love the idea of research prior to making rash moves. Thank You so much.
Great info. I am an organized person....however you added to my ideas and that makes it work for me.
I got really great ideas from this video!! It's just the researching and trying to decide what system will work for me. My pantry is cupboard style and very deep! Tfs!! 💜
Great video!! I love putting my dry foods in matching canisters. Even though it's the same amount of clutter, it looks a whole lot less cluttered because they all match. Especially when they have to be out in the open because of very limited cupboard space. Plus, at shopping list making time, it's really easy to see what you're running low on. Love your channel!!
nice vedio... plz can u do a diy on 3 step spice rack
Avanti Pandharpurkar I have a diy spice rack video linked in the description box💕
I like the way you did the video, great information, thanks
Wow, so honest, lol, I am new to lookin at organizational skills for my home, as we are ageing and our girl is growing, with our son moved out. I do not want to be a horder.
Great video, now if I could just do it!
Love your videos and how real you are!! Thank you so much for sharing!!
Do you have a kitchen tour?
Bridgette Furrow yes I do but our lives are changing drastically. Soooooo I will miss this kitchen for sure because we worked so hard on it. 😢🖤 but all things are for the better when it’s Gods timing. 👍🏼
Love your videos. You should get a show On a home network.
Great video! Awesome tips I hadn't thought of before 👍🏼
I love all your videos!! And thank you so much for this video!! Very very helpful! Thank you!
awesome tips. I love your pantry
Great video and great tips and tricks
I have a corner cupboard that I need your help with
Hi Paloma , I have been Subscribe to your Channel for a couple of years now and I've been busy being a Sahm and all that good stuff and I'm now getting back to binge watching your videos, and I just recently starting making my own videos on YT and curious if you have Any tips on editing and what equipment you use for making your videos ?
Sonya E Carolina awesome!!!! But girl. I just use iMovie on my iPhone and now imovie on my new MacBook Pro. Before that I used and still use movie maker on my computer. Just use what you got and you'll do fine. 💕
coupontoprovide Awesome I'm using Movie maker too , all the other editing software is so expensive I watch other small channel who always ask for donations so they can travel to YT convention but use expensive editing programs and have expensive equipment. So I'm over confused .
Sonya E Carolina girl no. Do not ask for donations. That's all bull shit. You can do fine on your own. As long as with every video you try your best to be better, you will get it. Just focus on you and your progress. Write down small issues you may have when editing and try to solve them one at a time.
coupontoprovide Thanks so much I will keep all that in mind . 🤗
I use painter's tape, comes off easier when you are done! Masking tape get weird once it get wet etc...
TY for the tip!
Yes! It’s been a year but I’m back and got a lot of new tips to stick. I’m redoing my pantry and cabinets today and tomorrow. 😊👍
You are the best I have found. Thanks
My problem is that we have sliding doors in our pantry so there is a section that I can't easily get to.
H nelson try lazy susans in the corners. 🖤👍🏼
