Like many people, when January arrives, something clicks in my mind, prompting me to start organizing and cleaning. However, due to recent gallbladder surgery, I wasn't able to start until now. The first thing I am tackling is the pantry.
When I first set up our pantry four years ago these are the items I used for organization. I still stand by all of my choices. They are not only "pretty" but they also clean up easily and are very accessible.
The first thing I did was take everything off the shelves and give it a thorough cleaning. Next, I emptied the containers and washed them inside and out. I used a toothpick to get out any "schmutz" that wouldn't come off with a cloth. Finally, I measured and cut new shelf liner in a textured gray color.
I'm just going to throw this out... Is anyone else puzzled by having a lid on the breadbox being a problem? To hide the unsightly power cords, I found a breadbox that fit perfectly on the shelf, concealed the cords, and looked cute. However, over the years, I consistently found the bread on the counter or beside the breadbox. When I inquired about this, the response was that they didn't know there was bread in the box, forgot, or couldn't see it. So, I removed the lid, and there hasn't been a problem since. Who knew?
Here's how it turned out. All clean and refreshed!
