    Wow, my mind is totally blown by the cake pan/marble lazy susan idea! I wonder if it'd work with a bigger circle pan, like a deep pizza pan.

    So cool to see not only the tiny space used so creatively, but for a guy. I know there are plenty of single men, dads, etc out there who don't want pretty, frilly things. The color choice was great. I am really impressed. Thanks!!

  • @woshimami
    @woshimami 9 років тому

    a small tip to share with you, i also use the baking tray with the marbles to make a cheap lazy susan. But i find it a bit loud when i rotate it, so i use a stick a piece of paper on both sides of the pan that are in contact with the marbles to dampen to noise. I also fill up more marbles so that there are no empty spaces for the marbles to roll all over the pan. Hope that helps :)

    Those tap lights are really great! I had an old car without a trunk light, so I slapped on of those lights in there, and it was perfect!
    One day we heard a huge terrifying sound in our kitchen. The pantry shelves had fallen! (1970's construction, sigh.) So we got some of those white pvc plastic shelves from Walmart and they fit perfectly well! I put one 12" square unit on each side because of the wooden strip in the middle where the doors close. Now I'm waiting for the rest of the cabinets to fall - eeek!

    A while ago I bought two round baking trays and a bag of marbles and I am so happy with my diy lazy susan! I use it for seasonings. I used to dread opening the cupboard but know it makes me smile every time I see my Lazy susan on a budget.

    @elainemarie9470 9 років тому

    Holy smokes.
    I have never had a pantry in an apartment rental. And I've been a renter for almost 40 years. However, in upscale regions. Just the way life & God had me placed.
    My first apartment was a 150' studio, I moved into, after high school graduation. I was also working & going to college, without any financial help. Later, I took informal guardianship of three of my siblings. Systems were not in place for these things.
    Many houses I've rented, don't have pantries.
    I think it is a regional and newer phenom.
    Have to laugh, I've never seen such an odd tiny pantry. Hey, it adds to the perceived value, when it is a listed amenity.
    For a kid's first rental, it is a nice thing to have.
    Great job of organizing, as always, Kathryn!
    Thanks for the Target tip, I've been looking for the chalk pen.

    Awesome organization! I have found dollar tree baskets break very easily especially with heavy items like water bottles. I bought the Target Y-weave baskets. They are more expensive, but they last. I have had some for over five years already and none of them have broken.

    Hi I have only been subscribed for a few weeks and I have an actual large pantry, but it wasn't organized. After watching your videos and using the tips, my husband told me this morning creating a "snack box" and putting snacks in a sandwich bags for a easy reach was the best idea! I just wanted to say thank you. I also organize under my kitchen sinks with some caddies from Target.(They were only 1.78)

    I like this video and can't wait to see more on small space organization. What i"m about to say is NOT a criticism of your video but of bins in general at the Dollar Tree and some other stores. The bins are slanted and not straight thus taking up valuable real estate in my already small space. The bins that are straight are much more expensive :(. I wish DT would make straight bins.

    Wow, and I thought I had a small pantry! Another great video with some great ideas and tips! One problem I have with my pantry is that it's deep. It's a prefab pantry and it's maybe 1 1/2 ft wide, maybe 2 feet wide, I'm not sure. But it's so stinking deep. It's dark too so those lighting ideas may come in handy. I love watching your videos because I get so many ideas that could potentially work for me and my home. Now I just need to actually do. haha
