A Personal Note from Janine

Can you believe that we bought our house without me seeing it in person!

Yes, my husband viewed the house on a Wednesday evening and bid on it before going on the market the next day. Since time was tight, he needed to move quickly, so I had no time to travel to the Bay Area and see the house.

Thank goodness when we moved down a couple of months later, I loved the home we bought.

But, the kitchen was a bit dated and needed an overhaul. So after living in our home for a couple of years, we finally had plans drawn up, and we began demolition. We had a brand new kitchen and a remodeled living room, dining room, and family room six months later.

And now our new kitchen is triple its original size and has all kinds of extra counter space and storage. But, even after eight years of living in our remodeled kitchen, I’m still organizing the pantries, drawers, and new refrigerator.

Organizing is an endless task, and I’ll never tire of all the projects on my list!

Ok, happy Saturday!

how to organize your pantry

Kitchen Cabinet Storage Containers

Over the years that I have lived in California, I have struggled with finding a good organizing system.

I can now say that I have found the perfect system for me. My long search for containers, baskets, trays, lazy susans, and more, has resulted in organized and clean kitchen cabinets.

And guess what!? They stay clean and organized!

Regardless of your style, there is something here for everyone! So check out these kitchen cabinet storage organizers along with my DIY kitchen organizing tips to get started today!


My Favorite Things – My Favorite Kitchen Organizers

https://raggedy-bits.com/DIY/farmhouse-dried-fruit-pantry-labels/

My Favorite Labels

These labels are made by my friend, Sam from Raggedy Bits, and they are my favorite!

This fun line of 20 Farmhouse Pantry Labels is a great way to get your pantry organized. This set includes 20 labels! These labels can apply to glass, galvanized, wood, ceramic, or plastic surfaces.

They are made from vinyl and are the best labels for the kitchen!

Cracker Containers

I love these jars, and they are from another one of my blog posts, Chalkboard Label Organizing. Ever since I purchased these, it made finding snacks a lot easier!

The style of these jars is simple and will match any style in any house, whether you’re going more modern or you like the farmhouse look!

The Best Cereal Containers

Your favorite POP modular canisters have been improved. Designed to stack securely for space-efficient food storage in your pantry or kitchen cabinets, they now feature a slimmer shape and lids that come apart for easy cleaning.

They’re ideal for preserving the freshness of dry food staples. Push down on the lid’s button to create an airtight seal; press again to open.

I own tons of these containers, and they are amazing! I use these containers for my cereal, and you can find the pantry post here.

Gone are the half-eaten old boxes of cereals! These clear containers are perfect for keeping our cereals fresh and organized!

Silicone Food Storage Bags

The perfect combination: 4 medium Food Grade & BPA- free reusable silicone food storage bags. The set includes 4 medium (1L/30 oz/4 cups) silicone food bags to help you preserve and store your leftovers, sauces, and snacks!

These bags help keep your fridge and kitchen organized and clutter-free. No more mismatched containers and lids taking up precious space in your kitchen.

A definite space saver since they are foldable, flexible, and stacked on top of each other. Imagine how good it feels to open the fridge and be able to quickly and easily see everything you have at a glance!

These reusable silicone food bags will make you feel good about the impact you have on our environment by making them as plastic-free as possible, one bag at a time!

Cute Meal Planner

I plan our meals for the week every Sunday. I place it on our fridge so everyone in the family can view the menu.

So, I found a cute meal planner to keep the days and weeks organized. This is a pretty way to display it for the whole family to read!

If you love cooking, baking, meal planning, etc., try out this menu planner to keep your meals organized and different each week!

A Perfect Mat for Under The Sink

This is actually the perfect mat for under the sink. The great thing about it is, this mat catches water if you have leaks from your water system, pipes, etc.!

Recently, we had a problem with our filtered drinking water system, so after calling for someone to fix it, I purchased these mats, and they do an amazing job at keeping the water in one place!

This mat has protected our cabinets under the sink so far! It’s too funny that it’s a boot or shoe mat, but it works great for under the sink!
