    I'm in Australia too and I am so happy you are back making videos. My Aunty always had a cut onion on her kitchen bench to absorb impurities in the air. She claimed it stopped her getting sick as often as other people her age.

    like the bag organizer and the metallic strip. The Elfa/Alfa? liners were great idea. I will trim off some plexi-glass. I do not like dusting off each wire. Thanks for the ideas.

    Hi Alejandra, I have been enjoying your channel. One of the items that really caught my eye was the tea bag holder. So I went to the Container Store in January and it was on backorder. After many delays in delivery dates, I can say today I was able to place my tea bag holder order. I can't wait to pick it up tomorrow and put it to use. Yay!

    I just bought the Oxo turntables for my pantry after seeing them here. You're right, I could stand in front of my pantry and just spin them for days! Thanks for the suggestion!

  • @mjnc1986
    @mjnc1986 12 років тому

    Love your new pantry! An idea for you trash bags if they come in a roll is to mount one of those shelves you can install on the inside of a cabinet door to hold cleaning products. It is shallow and narrow enough to be just wide enough to hold the roll. Made out of rubber coated wire too so just thread the bag through the front of the shelf. Does that make sense? It could be mounted to the pantry wall instead of cabinet door. Have a great weekend! wall

    Chip storage put in 1 gallon or two gallon zip lock bags. Uline makes grey totes with dividers.
    Number totes and have clup board . Preppers have checkbook style pantry inventory. For single people buy single serve size veggies cans. Saves leftovers and great for pick nicks. Stanley makes divider case for tea, coffee, condiment storage.

    I love the new pantry! Gosh its nice when you can find what you want in a split second. i seriously wanna get some of those white lid containers. Our spice cabinet (i still live w/ my folks, dont judge!) is a mess! Gonna see if i can try that door hanging basket trick. Love your videos!

  • @mevsm1

    Hmm, color categorizing the herb n spice bottles is a good idea. Mine are alphabetized but I am now going to try grouping first into colors on each shelf n then alphabetizing. Thanks again Alejandra!

    I absolutely love all of your videos!! I have been trying to get organized for a very long time but being that I live at home with my parents everything has to be in my room and I do have a bathroom/laundry room and trying to get everything organized was just a major hassle!!! So this past Saturday I went through literally everything I had and threw out so much stuff that was just annoying me and causing clutter! I'm literally trying mostly everything in your videos except I only have a bedroom and bathroom since im living with my parents. my fiancee and my step son also share this bedroom and bathroom so its overwhelming but its getting done! I can't wait to get a place of our own and literally do everything you're doing in videos which ill change up to fit my needs! one video I would love to see (not sure if you made one) is how you make your diy cleaners!!

  • @DesireeTV
    @DesireeTV 12 років тому +1

    Do you worry about getting bugs in your dry goods packages? I always thought that you should keep rice, flour, etc. in the fridge/freezer to avoid getting those yucky mealy bugs in them...

    For those asking about where to buy the metal label holders, Martha Stewart sells "Metal Bookplates" that are basically the same thing without the nail holes on the sides. Staples sells them with free ship-to-store shipping. Right now you can get 6 for $4.99 which is pretty good compared to the comparable items I found (especially the free shipping). Hope this helps.

  • @honmin8201
    @honmin8201 12 років тому

    Congratulations on a new home. I'd fret about keeping flour, sugar or cereal type products in the lower roller bins because they tend to grow weevils. Better to keep in deep freeze/freezer or at least use a bay leaf to keep weevils at bay.
    You might like to show us moving tips since it's so distressing to pack it up and put it all away again

    really awesome you should check out this pantry organization from clever storage.I have the Tandem and it is amazing!! it has shelves on the door just like you do but the frame is connected to the shelves inside the pantry and actually pull everything out and forward towards you so you can see everything. It is the best thing in my kitchen.

  • @solomangirl49
    @solomangirl49 11 років тому +2

    You are so lucky to have a pantry. We only have our kitchen cabinets. Do you have to replace your labels when you wash your containers? Thanks for the video, I love watching them :)

  • @trishschmidt8530
    @trishschmidt8530 8 років тому +2

    Where can I get those metal labels meant for nailing to wooden shelves that you used on your metal wire shelves? And also those white bins at 7:45 minutes which you have on the floor. They are perfect. Where did you buy them?

  • @UnorganizedGlitter

    Please, please, please tell me where you got the rolling baskets. Today and last week I went everywhere looking for them. I can not find them on line anywhere too. Please post where you got them or what brand it is. Container store does not have them and on your product web page it shows Rubbermaid however those are not on wheels and do not look the same. Please post a reply to this

    I love your tips and ideas. Thank you for all the videos. I can't waite to get started. But the only thing I think I will have to add that you didn't is extra plastic containers for snack foods or pre packaged boxed foods and all the dry goods. The biggest opposition I face in my pantry (or the hall closet converted) is pests. They are drawn to even the glue that seals boxes and bags of cereal and everything. I would love to see your creative ingenious tackle that problem.

    You have a lot of those OXO containers, can you share all the items that you keep in them (including the one's in the back row)? I wonder what would be best to keep in those type of containers versus what should just stay in the store's packaging.

    @BacktoBasicsGal 12 років тому

    We eat whole foods - grains, seeds, beans & legumes and buy them in bulk. We don't buy processed foods so I have vinegar, sauerkraut, etc that I need to store while making it; My food pantry would be difficult to pare down or to neatly package I think. I store a lot in half gallon mason jars - your video has me thinking though! :-)

  • @pritighodke
    @pritighodke 11 років тому

    I love your videos so much and I look foreword to the new once!
    In this video, I have seen you use the chip clips or rubber bands to close plastic bags after opening the seal. There is a better product in IKEA, I forgot the name but I personally call it as bag clips. They come in a pack of about 24 I think and each pack cost $3.00, it was 4 years back. They come in two sizes, large once are about 8 total and come in white and pink color, the small ones come in blue, green and yellow color. They seal and open the bags the fastest possible way also I feel that the sealing is almost air tight. Let me know if you want pictures of them.
    Please keep posting more videos.

  • @KrystleLife
