      @@cherylgriffin9242 In some areas of the world it's almost unavoidable. Some insects will even get their eggs into the cardbord boxes that hold cereal etc and you'll bring them into your pantry like that. It's best to throw away the box at the store and fill the food into jars with these flip tops as soon as you get home. They are the only thing that these pesky bugs (moth larvae in her case) seem to cannot get into. My mother had to replace her pantry multiple times until she found that out. They can even chew through unopened plastic bags and get into closed tupperware. It's very frustrating.

  • @mumstheword8
    @mumstheword8 2 роки тому +5

    Looks good. I feel that the black shelves should have went on the other wall so that when u open the door and walk in u don't walk into the shelves. Now you have to open the door full to go in. Also, when organizing those shelves you said kids snacks and then put baking stuff. The kids snack would have been smart so it keeps the kids from going all the way into the pantry. Then the shelves in that side of the wall would have made sense.

    My small home is short on storage space too. For a make do pantry, I took a 5 shelf metal shelf unit, added 2 shelves from another unit, measured the heights of cans and my storage containers, and customized it to maximize what I could fit on each shelf.
    For my hall closet, that stores cleaning supplies, personal care items, light bulbs, bulk TP & tissues, soaps lotions & potions from Costco, meds; I did it completely different. I took out the three wood shelves set 2 ft apart, and installed 6 tight wire shelves on the hanging brackets that I can adjust the spacing. I have large and shoe box-sized Sterilite containers to organize all the stuff. Then I have a metal over the door hanging unit with tons of stuff on the inside of the door.
    Still isn't perfect, but a small cry from before.

    Re plastic bags: if you take a minute to press all the air out of them and fold them up small, you can store them in an old, empty tissue box. Grab one at a time. Takes up a lot less space than a big bag full of bags.

    That pantry is about the same size as mine maybe mine is a bit wider. I had it organized to my liking and it WAS organized with like items on the shelves. Breakfast on top below the very top shelf that I put those items used at certain times and then either canned goods and pasta dinner type meals and then last shelf the snacks and I have wire baskets on each side walls for cererals, foil, plastic wrap etc. And a wire organizer mounted to the door for small things such as seasonings and such. But one day my middle son was bored and came through and reorganized it and moved ALL my breakfast and canned goods that were originally longer shelf life in the back and just mixed everything up!!!!!!! I was SO furious when I got home! I still have not taken the time to fix but I will.

    Nicely done. I think the grab 'n' go snack bin would work better sitting directly on the shelf so it can be more safely pulled out and pushed back in like a drawer and reached into without having to pull it out very far. With it on top of one of the metal risers and up against the shelf above, it will have to pulled out quite a ways and tipped to be able to access the contents, which will also increase the likelihood of it being accidentally pulled down or dropped.

Maybe a slightly bigger project than just reorganizing, but I don’t think you need to be a carpenter to do it. 💪🏻😎

    I had a pantry like that, but it was side ways. Best part was that the pantry was deep enough that I coudl put a shelf on the left so I doubled my space. In our new place we have lots of storage, but no real pantry. I'm thinking we will get a big but narrow shelf an put it at the side of the fridge, as it is at the edge of the kitchen. We haven't actually been to our new place (yay cross-country move and social distancing) but our property manager shave video walkthroughs of the place. SO at the side of the fridge, there is enough space for soem trashcans, which we will probably use the space for a shelf for a small pantry. We have a closet nearby that has a small space (think like broom closet) that we will likely put in a shelf. If for nothing else, it can hold bedding/towels as there's nto much room in the bathroom for extra bins for towels.

    This pantry looks great but, as a short person, I have two suggestions: 1. Put the heavy items on the top shelf, behind the canisters, in bins and place them on the floor (for safety). 2. Put the smaller items on the top shelf in another bin and place this bin and the extra condiments bin on the top shelf behind the canisters. These 2 changes will alleviate those small items on the top shelf getting ‘lost’ and causing unnecessary multiple buying.
