I would love to see a cooking series from the 20's to the 50's eras! Your pantry is adorable, I love all the special little touches and how you integrated them!
A cooking series of 1940s war time food would be interesting as food has got so expensive.. Being thrifty with food would definitely be up my street... 👍💞The pantry looks amazing.. I must do mine 👍💞😊
Turned out beautifully! For anyone also having a problem with smoker-stained (nicotine) window frames and doors: My gramma taught me to use denatured alcohol/methylated spirit to wash the door first to get the stain (and yellow) off.
I still can’t believe how cute this came out! I would absolutely watch more “weird vintage foods” videos. Especially since you are the one who convinced me to do fish in Jello. 😂
Great idea to use ruler to smooth stick on shelf paper. But figure on a galloping horse who notices the oops places. Plus you are filling a pantry up. Hooray looks fab. Red is my favorite color!
When you come to the decision that you can make the "hidden" corners of your home, it is life changing! I never realized before that all of the "junk" spaces I had were really representing my lack of respect for myself and for belongings that mattered to me. I absolutely love the vibe of your revamped pantry!
Hi Kristina. Lovely to see you back. Congratulations on the arrival of your beautiful boy.🤗😊. May I respectfully suggest oils, sauces, honey and jams all be stored on trays that way if there is an accident the tray is the only thing that needs cleaning, not the shelf. Kindest regards and very best wishes. 😊🐾💐🇬🇸😊
Thanks for sharing this. Baskets in pantry spaces are a godsend. Just a suggestion. You could paint the back of the door in blackboard paint, so you can quickly write things down, as you find supplies running low. It would also diminish the yellowing of the paint. Cheers.
A cooking series would be fantastic! There is an Australian youtuber I love called Sage Lilleyman, who does a similar vintage lifestyle blog, and her dining through the decades series is so inspiring. I could see you doing something like that and being wonderful at it.
The pantry looks amazing,i loved the curtains and how happy it makes you,I’m sure your kids and husband loved how it looks. you did a great job.be proud of all you do to make your home beautiful.
Lovely pantry makeover. My home doesn’t have the space for a Friday Ed food storage room it’s kinda all over the place in 3 deprecate areas now but hopefully someday we’ll consolidate and make it look nice too.
Tell me this is you after having a baby just a short while ago! You look fantastic! I’ve been patiently waiting for you to post again but also hoped you were able to get some rest and recovery time and have been enjoying the new addition to your family. He is so sweet! ❤
“This is the year of making things cute even if I’m the only one who will see them” - I LOVE THIS, thank you for the inspiration! The red gingham shelves are so perfect. ✨
Cooking would be good, especially Depression era and before. And all the shows I watch just show one recipe. It would be nice to see the whole meal process sometimes... juggling everything so it all gets on the table hot, etc.
A really good tip for laying contact paper is to spray some soapy water before you put down the sticky paper because while it’s wet you can move it and slide it wherever you need it to go and then you just take a ruler or paint scraper or really anything with a hard flat edge and slide it like you would normally over the top and it’ll squeeze the water out from underneath it and then you just need to wait for the water to dry completely underneath and it should turn out pretty close to perfect…I learned the hard way trust me I Feel your frustration
Thank you so much I'm really enjoying your videos. Finally someone like me that paints, cleans, decorates. I've also had a big family that are raised now. I love your videos!
I love your idea of making something cute just because it brings you joy. If no one else sees it, who cares? Definitely going to be borrowing that idea. Both my older daughter and I really enjoy your channel. I just have to say you are just so sweet and I love your authenticity. 🍓🍒🍊🩷 keep being you!
That was a tremendous amount of work you and your husband did. That turned out darling! I love all of your choices from paint color to shelf paper. You have turned it into a happy room/place. Who wouldn't want to go in there now? It's perfect!💯❤❤❤
I love how the pantry turned out. Fair play to you for getting your house in order. I'm trying to sort out mine too but it's difficult with a full-time job, chronic health issues, three dogs and five cats. Watching your videos keeps me motivated and entertained when I'm lacking energy and willingness to continue.
A cooking series would be so awesome! I think maybe family type/daily meals from maybe the 30s-60s would be fun! Things kids would like as well as adults.
I love all of your slow living videos so a cooking series along those lines would be highly appealing. 🙂 I also think that a recipe taste test between decades would be fun (eg a meatloaf from the 40’s vs a meatloaf from the 70’s?).
Who I would love a cooking series!! You can call it cooking through the ages and start in the 1800s and continue on!! That would be so amazing. I love how your pantry turned out! I dream to have a pantry!
If you want to use your cookbooks - maybe you could do a comparison series, testing a common recipe (e.g. cornbread, vanilla cupcakes, chocolate cake, pancakes, mashed potatoes, a roast or casserole of some type) from 5 different cookbooks. It'd 1) test which one you like best and 2) test if that cookbook has well-written recipes.
GREAT idea to do same recipe but altered versions - maybe not just from her different cookbooks but from different eras. So like how different apple pie is now verses 1800's
You are such a beautiful soul!! I resonate so deeply with your life and channel.❤ Thank you for always staying so incredibly authentic and honest!! Please don't ever change!!
I’ve been dying to paint our kitchen because we aren’t ready to finance the full renovation. This has completely inspired me to get moving. Thank you! 😊 Also I have fought the fight of the contact paper myself and have had the angry yells at the project. You’re not alone 😅 The end result is so cute!
I love the makeover and am inspired!!!! And, yes, please do a cooking series! I have no other suggestion other than to do it!! Can’t wait!!! But also don’t rush; go at your own pace-need to continue taking care of yourself, especially now with all the intense work that beautiful little one must bring!
The before and after are... Whoa... This is beautiful, great job !! And you are right : even if it's only for "us", it's important that we enjoy our surroundings ;) !!
Wow, Everything looks Amazing! Strawberry shortcake cuteness. I think it would be awesome to do a cooking series. How about Quick or No Cook Summer Meals as an idea. Or Vegetable dishes through the decades. Something healthy and seasonal.
Kristina. My sister showed me a trick when I had to do a whole kitchen when I was moving in. Don’t take off all the backing paper. Only take a triangle shaped bit off each corner. Oh my goodness! It was so fast and the paper stays put. Remember this the next time you do any shelves. Your pantry looks so lovely now. I love your channel!
It has been very tidy and very clean, a pantry with all the jars in between is crazy and you don't even want to go in, in a house there must be cleanliness and order, because it is also proven, that if there is cleanliness and order you work better and your head works better. Thanks for the video.
Your pantry turned out so cute! One trick I learned with my plastic grocery bags to conserve space is to fold them into little footballs like we used to make as kids with paper. I save so much space by doing this and I can usually get a couple of my kids to do it. I too have a gazillion old cook books so a cooking series would be loads of fun!
Kristina, you’re the tops! You are Cracker Jack and supersonic! Watching you redecorate your pantry was a real joy! I love your retro vibe and color schemes too! You are very creative and thrifty too! Thanks for this video experience!
Kristina ,what brings me joy is you do things that bring you joy not what others want from you ! I love the gingham curtains & shelf contact paper so cute & white walls all tied together! A cooking series would be wonderful. To me the 1940's would be interesting sometimes as food was scarce with the war for rationing .To see how women would come up with ways to make recipes for their families with what little they had. Have a lovely day & I sure enjoyed the time you took out of your busy day for this video !
This inspired me to clean out the 7 bottom cabinets in my kitchen! They were chock full of unnecessary kitchen supplies that I hadn’t even looked at in a year because I was avoiding dealing with it. I finally dragged it all out to the middle of the floor, cleaned the very few things I knew I would use, got rid of the rest, cleaned the cabinet space, and now all but 1 is sitting empty. I feel like a compartment in my mind is empty too! 🤩
Wow it looks awesome! You have made a whole new room out of a wasted space! You have inspired me. You were so brave doing that, I gasped when I saw everything pulled out in the other room I gasped because me and my adhd would have given right up at that point! Yes please do a cooking series! ❤
Love the makeover. Doing something just for you because it makes you happy, is the best reason to do it! I have a 9 foot wall, floor to ceiling of cookbooks i have many more in boxes as well. My Mom collected them, and I do too. They give me pleasure! I usually look up at least two or three recipes before I cook anything new. I am 74 years old, so I have many years of collecting on you. If you are going to keep the cardboard box for food storage. You might try wrapping the outside in gift wrap paper. It would hide the box, and you can keep your theme. Red gingham would be cute too.
It is amazing all you get done with 5 children. I love the pantry and I understand the struggle with shelves. I live in a really old house. Containerizing helps.
I made my rather small clothes closet cute by putting framed pictures on the walls that were showing and put a tiny oriental rug on the carpet. I added sachet and I smile every time I go into my closet. Love your pantry.
If you can find a cardboard box that fits that narrow space with a little room left over the crafty thing to do is do a rope wrap with hot glue and white cotton type rope to make it look like a nice basket and can be reused after the plastic bags are gone.
I was born in 1946. My mother used the Betty Crocker cookbook you used when you and your girls made biscuits. And your biscuits turned out flat (and hard?) just like my mother’s. I still loved them. But I’ve learned how to make biscuits like my grandmother’s light and fluffy and tall! Yes, I’d like cooking videos. I might see more of my mother’s dishes! Your pantry is great!
Because the freezer can take the weight. I would put a pretty farmhouse wire rack on top and store anything you like. You can even hide the items by pinning a curtain on the wire rack or a pretty vintage cabinet bolted on the wall over the freezer is another idea for all your cookbooks. This will help preserve them clean and away from kitchen grime that tends to get on surfaces.
A little late here, but just found your channel, through one of your more recent low income videos, and I love it! So refreshing to see a ‘real’ person on your tube! I noticed your pantry in another video and enjoyed watching this process. So important to make those little useful spaces feel like you. I love that you have a window in your pantry even if it’s to another room. It’s my plan to tackle my pantry today. Maybe just declutter but I’m thinking wallpaper next…! You are brave and inspiring, you made me feel less alone as a mom and homemaker, and I appreciate you putting your real life out there!
Oh, I love what you did with your food pantry closet. It is so cute looking . It’s good you took a break when you got frustrated that’s what I do and then I’m always ready tackle my project . Again great job on your food pantry closet. It looks wonderful . 🥰
congratulations on you're new baby my friend!! delighted to see you looking so well, hope you and the family are settling into a new routine with baby in tow!:) sending you love
I just started watching some of your videos today. I'm not a parent and something I noticed is that your kitchen and pantry are not overrun with "kid specific" stuff. If I didn't know you have 5 kids I wouldn't know from seeing what's in your pantry. And that's meant as a compliment. Again, as a non parent, watching people with kids it's overwhelming to see how much STUFF is seemingly needed for them. But you're obviously proving, kids can eat from regular dishes and don't need 25 special cups. LOL I think that's cool!
I love how this turned out despite how frustrating it was to get to the end 😂 i would love a cooking series that could be super interesting you could do a desert series or dinner series or even a weird recipe series options are wide with that one haha You and hubby did a fabulous job 👏
Looks amazing! And yes, make it pretty for you is right! The cookbook corner sounds perfect too. I'm looking forward to a pantry being built sometime in the future 😂 an area the size of yours would be great!
Kristina You can also get the soda can stackers for the fridge and use them to your can goods and organize the can goods by type ex tomatos tomato paste etc..
So excited to see you again! What about family meals through the ages and do a different family meal from each cookbook or like a breakfast for me to cook book I would be so fun I would definitely watch that
I admire Kristina's ability to take everything out at once. That would be too overwhelming for me. I find it easier to do one drawer a day. One shelf a day. Kiristina you are fortunate in having an old fashioned walk-pantry. Most of us have food cupboards now. So for me, for example, everything is not all in one place. My Mum had a walk-in, her house was built in England in the early 1950's. I was born in '52 and they were already in there not long previously. Her pantry had a wide "cold shelf" of white tiles at waist height for meat and dairy and narrower shelves above. We didn't get a fridge till the late '50's/early '60s. I am happy for you it all worked out in the end it looks very pretty.
Very similar to the 50's routine that I follow from your Ko-fi. Sill entertaining to watch because of all your cool stuff in your home and you, of course. Thank you for the inspiration. 💗🌺🌴
Absolutely adorable job on the pantry and the shelf liners were worth it!!! ❤ would LOVE to see a cooking series. How about budget friendly or quick meals? Vintage era cookboks always remind me of just making the most of what you have in the home 😊
I love the pantry makeover! You have a real gift for decorating. I was so happy to see the new little addition to your sweet family. Looking forward to more of your videos when you have time. I would love to see your cooking videos from any era you want. I still make some recipes from my mom's cookbooks that are probably from the '20s.
You did amazing Kristina! Your closet looks so much better! Your hardwork on the shelf liner was so worth it and totally matches your home astetic! I will check out that game! Have you ever though about having aprons made and you sell them? I think you would make great $ if you did! Thank you for sharing with us!
So cute! Dollar tree has clear plastic can organizers that I LOVE in my pantry and could be helpful for you too! It’s for soda cans I think but they stack all the cans sideways and you can fit those same shelf organizers on top of them for more space. That trash bin is a great idea. I need to do that for my dog food! Turned out super pretty!! Great job doing so much with all those little ones. You’re a super mom!

No lie i love this game lol
I would love to see a cooking series from the 20's to the 50's eras! Your pantry is adorable, I love all the special little touches and how you integrated them!
@@WithLoveKristina I play this game everyday now.
Please do the cooking series! I would love to see you go through eras that match your favorite outfits.
Ha ha 😅 no pressure 😊
Agreed! I spend most of my time on UA-cam watching cooking videos, so if Kristina did a series it would be the best of all my favorite things ❤
Yes please! I have an old cookbook from the 1890s and have no clue where to start.
My personal preference is as early as you have through 1940’s. Mainly because most other creators focus on 50’s - 70’s.
A cooking series of 1940s war time food would be interesting as food has got so expensive.. Being thrifty with food would definitely be up my street... 👍💞The pantry looks amazing.. I must do mine 👍💞😊
Turned out beautifully!
For anyone also having a problem with smoker-stained (nicotine) window frames and doors: My gramma taught me to use denatured alcohol/methylated spirit to wash the door first to get the stain (and yellow) off.
vintage cooking series by decade! like, a week each?? that as be SO FUN and inspiring!
I still can’t believe how cute this came out! I would absolutely watch more “weird vintage foods” videos. Especially since you are the one who convinced me to do fish in Jello. 😂
OMG That's the first recipe I think of when I hear 'weird vintage food' - crazy jello HAHA
So real!!! So refreshing, so lovely, and enjoyable!!
Great idea to use ruler to smooth stick on shelf paper. But figure on a galloping horse who notices the oops places. Plus you are filling a pantry up. Hooray looks fab. Red is my favorite color!
If you find a girl's dress out of gingham, you could sew the bottom and the dress could hold the bags. Hang it on the wall. It would be cute.
When you come to the decision that you can make the "hidden" corners of your home, it is life changing! I never realized before that all of the "junk" spaces I had were really representing my lack of respect for myself and for belongings that mattered to me. I absolutely love the vibe of your revamped pantry!
Hi Kristina. Lovely to see you back. Congratulations on the arrival of your beautiful boy.🤗😊. May I respectfully suggest oils, sauces, honey and jams all be stored on trays that way if there is an accident the tray is the only thing that needs cleaning, not the shelf. Kindest regards and very best wishes. 😊🐾💐🇬🇸😊
GREAT SUGGESTION - I do that in my pantry
Cooking seriiieesss yeeesss!!! 🍲🥯🥧🍵
Thanks for sharing this. Baskets in pantry spaces are a godsend. Just a suggestion. You could paint the back of the door in blackboard paint, so you can quickly write things down, as you find supplies running low. It would also diminish the yellowing of the paint. Cheers.
GREAT IDEA about chalkboard door
Yes to cooking series.
Your pantry is so sweet looking, I would want to spend time in there too! Fabulous!
Kristina,that room looks great. You could almost leave the door open into the kitchen. Cooking series would be lovely.
A cooking series would be fantastic! There is an Australian youtuber I love called Sage Lilleyman, who does a similar vintage lifestyle blog, and her dining through the decades series is so inspiring. I could see you doing something like that and being wonderful at it.
The pantry looks amazing,i loved the curtains and how happy it makes you,I’m sure your kids and husband loved how it looks. you did a great job.be proud of all you do to make your home beautiful.

Lovely pantry makeover. My home doesn’t have the space for a Friday Ed food storage room it’s kinda all over the place in 3 deprecate areas now but hopefully someday we’ll consolidate and make it look nice too.
Tell me this is you after having a baby just a short while ago! You look fantastic! I’ve been patiently waiting for you to post again but also hoped you were able to get some rest and recovery time and have been enjoying the new addition to your family. He is so sweet! ❤
Haha yes, I filmed this about a month after he was born! He's seven weeks now
@@WithLoveKristina awwwh congrats 🎉 that means you had your baby a week before mine… our son Beorn is 6 weeks and 1 day today ❤
“This is the year of making things cute even if I’m the only one who will see them” - I LOVE THIS, thank you for the inspiration! The red gingham shelves are so perfect. ✨
The space beside the chimney could be a great place to store your broom. Maybe move the bag storage up. Just adore your pantry makeover.
Cooking would be good, especially Depression era and before. And all the shows I watch just show one recipe. It would be nice to see the whole meal process sometimes... juggling everything so it all gets on the table hot, etc.
A really good tip for laying contact paper is to spray some soapy water before you put down the sticky paper because while it’s wet you can move it and slide it wherever you need it to go and then you just take a ruler or paint scraper or really anything with a hard flat edge and slide it like you would normally over the top and it’ll squeeze the water out from underneath it and then you just need to wait for the water to dry completely underneath and it should turn out pretty close to perfect…I learned the hard way trust me I Feel your frustration
Where have you been all my life when I’ve been trying to put this type of stuff down? LIFESAVER!!!
Thank you so much
Thank you so much I'm really enjoying your videos. Finally someone like me that paints, cleans, decorates. I've also had a big family that are raised now. I love your videos!
How about a cooking through the decades series? Breakfast, lunch, dinner, and/or tea from each decade! ❤️
Also could lay out printable recipe cards in description to include us - like we can make a cookbook with all she cooks and cook it too collectively.
cookies through the different eras/decads, breakfast ideas, a days worth of meals from different years
Cookies - always a win
I would love to see cooking ideas from the depression era.
I love your idea of making something cute just because it brings you joy. If no one else sees it, who cares? Definitely going to be borrowing that idea. Both my older daughter and I really enjoy your channel. I just have to say you are just so sweet and I love your authenticity. 🍓🍒🍊🩷 keep being you!

Sporadic is perfectly fine. It’s like a surprise dessert when a unexpected video pops up. I love how your pantry turned out!
Yes!!! A cookingseries is fun! Suggestion: family favorites. What does your family love to eat.
It looks adorable! I’m amazed at your energy to do this with a newborn 😮😊
I absolutely love how the pantry turned out! The red and white is just so perfect!
Love your makeover! It’s inspired me!
I love how the pantry turned out.
Fair play to you for getting your house in order. I'm trying to sort out mine too but it's difficult with a full-time job, chronic health issues, three dogs and five cats. Watching your videos keeps me motivated and entertained when I'm lacking energy and willingness to continue.
A cooking series would be so awesome! I think maybe family type/daily meals from maybe the 30s-60s would be fun! Things kids would like as well as adults.
And a series of kid friendly to make maybe too
Like your kids could help make
❤🎉😊
So inspiring 🍓🍒🍄
So beautiful
Very neat
And organized 🌟🤗💝
I love all of your slow living videos so a cooking series along those lines would be highly appealing. 🙂
I also think that a recipe taste test between decades would be fun (eg a meatloaf from the 40’s vs a meatloaf from the 70’s?).
EXACTLY - meatloaf idea
great minds think alike 😊
Who I would love a cooking series!! You can call it cooking through the ages and start in the 1800s and continue on!! That would be so amazing. I love how your pantry turned out! I dream to have a pantry!
All the time we spend with that shelf looks good. You get it all matching. It looks nice.
Kudos to decluttering cleaning, organizing, painting, videoing editing, while taking care of a baby and toddler. Oh my gosh how do you do it
Do your favorite cooking era. That will be fun to watch. Maybe the 1950s.............?
The 1950's had really delicious VERY good food! Food that kids moms and all husbands LOVE!
If you want to use your cookbooks - maybe you could do a comparison series, testing a common recipe (e.g. cornbread, vanilla cupcakes, chocolate cake, pancakes, mashed potatoes, a roast or casserole of some type) from 5 different cookbooks. It'd 1) test which one you like best and 2) test if that cookbook has well-written recipes.
GREAT idea to do same recipe but altered versions - maybe not just from her different cookbooks but from different eras. So like how different apple pie is now verses 1800's

a fun idea for cooking is a making weird/ unusual historic recipes. some might be good, some might be bad
😂😂😂
Love the cuteness a refreshing change from all the stark white you see in so many houses these days.
Yes please to cooking series!!!
Wow it looks awesome! You have made a whole new room out of a wasted space! You have inspired me. You were so brave doing that, I gasped when I saw everything pulled out in the other room I gasped because me and my adhd would have given right up at that point!

So cute 🍓🍓🍓 You could put a gingham scalloped edge to some of your shelving to be extra. Lol. I really love it as it is cute and efficient.
Great job. Your hard work paid off! There's nothing more satisfying thaan an organized pretty pantry with vintage touches! 🍓
I missed your videos so much! ❤️ glad to see you are well. Congratulations on your baby! 🥰
It is amazing all you get done with 5 children. I love the pantry and I understand the struggle with shelves. I live in a really old house. Containerizing helps.
So stinking cute!!! I’d be opening the door all the time, just to enjoy the cheerful decor!
I've missed you. Hope all is well with the baby and the rest of the family!
Cutest pantry Ever! A lot of work but worth it!!!
This is so flippin' cute! I love the gingham and the matching curtains!!!

Yes please do a cooking series Start with the 1800s
My late husband collected vintage cook books. So fun looking through them. ❤

If I didn't know you have 5 kids I wouldn't know from seeing what's in your pantry. And that's meant as a compliment. Again, as a non parent, watching people with kids it's overwhelming to see how much STUFF is seemingly needed for them. But you're obviously proving, kids can eat from regular dishes and don't need 25 special cups. LOL I think that's cool!
I love how this turned out despite how frustrating it was to get to the end 😂 i would love a cooking series that could be super interesting you could do a desert series or dinner series or even a weird recipe series options are wide with that one haha
You and hubby did a fabulous job 👏
So sweet❤
Looks amazing! And yes, make it pretty for you is right! The cookbook corner sounds perfect too.
I'm looking forward to a pantry being built sometime in the future 😂 an area the size of yours would be great!
Kristina
You can also get the soda can stackers for the fridge and use them to your can goods and organize the can goods by type ex tomatos tomato paste etc..
I would love to see a cooking series from the late 1800’s
So excited to see you again! What about family meals through the ages and do a different family meal from each cookbook or like a breakfast for me to cook book I would be so fun I would definitely watch that
I admire Kristina's ability to take everything out at once. That would be too overwhelming for me. I find it easier to do one drawer a day. One shelf a day. Kiristina you are fortunate in having an old fashioned walk-pantry. Most of us have food cupboards now. So for me, for example, everything is not all in one place. My Mum had a walk-in, her house was built in England in the early 1950's. I was born in '52 and they were already in there not long previously. Her pantry had a wide "cold shelf" of white tiles at waist height for meat and dairy and narrower shelves above. We didn't get a fridge till the late '50's/early '60s. I am happy for you it all worked out in the end it looks very pretty.
Please do the cooking series!!! The older the better! You are awesome!!!
It's so very beautiful looking I need to do my pantry and the closet's in my hallway too❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ praying always for you and your family
Very similar to the 50's routine that I follow from your Ko-fi. Sill entertaining to watch because of all your cool stuff in your home and you, of course. Thank you for the inspiration. 💗🌺🌴
Have you done a video sharing your vintage cookbook collection? If not, I'd enjoy it!! The pantry turned out so pretty!
Absolutely adorable job on the pantry and the shelf liners were worth it!!! ❤ would LOVE to see a cooking series. How about budget friendly or quick meals? Vintage era cookboks always remind me of just making the most of what you have in the home 😊
I love the pantry makeover! You have a real gift for decorating. I was so happy to see the new little addition to your sweet family. Looking forward to more of your videos when you have time. I would love to see your cooking videos from any era you want. I still make some recipes from my mom's cookbooks that are probably from the '20s.
You did amazing Kristina! Your closet looks so much better! Your hardwork on the shelf liner was so worth it and totally matches your home astetic! I will check out that game! Have you ever though about having aprons made and you sell them? I think you would make great $ if you did! Thank you for sharing with us!
I'd buy an apron! 👗
You are a blessing to the world. Recently found your channel and loving it!
So cute! Dollar tree has clear plastic can organizers that I LOVE in my pantry and could be helpful for you too! It’s for soda cans I think but they stack all the cans sideways and you can fit those same shelf organizers on top of them for more space. That trash bin is a great idea. I need to do that for my dog food! Turned out super pretty!! Great job doing so much with all those little ones. You’re a super mom!
