Organizing With Container Store Products
I found you can’t have enough containers these days! So, last year I organized one of my cabinets full of dried fruit, nuts, and other foods. It felt amazing to get that project done, but I still had another major one to tackle…my baking supplies.
My flour and sugar were in disarray and needed to be organized with a system that stacked nicely. As you know The Container Store is like a candy store to anyone who likes containers! My husband jokes that I have containers for containers. Well, I found this nice system that each lid is designed to house another one on top. Accordingly, to The Container Store website, this system is their own product and the sticker says…Modular. so once you figure out how many you need and how many will fit in your cabinets, just clean and fill.
Here is What I Used to Organize Our Kitchen
1. Containers for Baking Essentials
I actually, like this modular stackable system for my baking supplies. They aren’t totally locked like other systems, so be careful when using them. They do appear to have a seal that keeps the bugs out! These are the key to great use of space and ease.
2. Containers For Cereals
Our new cereal containers are OXO Cereal Containers and I love them. These have a great seal and so no bugs can get into your cereals. Also, I now know what cereals we have and I’m not dealing with half-empty boxes stashed in my pantry.
3. Smaller Containers For Baking Supplies
So these modular stackables are a bit smaller than the others but the whole system works together! I love these since they are super stackable and they hold small baking supplies. We use these all the time and they are a perfect size.
4. Containers For Box Items
4. Containers For Box ItemsI absolutely love these water hyacinths baskets. I know Marie Kondo would not approve because they aren’t clear, but I think that is why I love them. They organize things but they are pretty in cabinets. Also, on the shelf, I placed a little sticker that says what items are in these baskets. If you look down in the post you’ll see what I’m talking about.
Next, you’ll want to make chalk labels
My chalk labels are easy and you can make them, chalkboard labels for organizing
So, I like to make my own labels since the stores only sell like a few labels to a package and they are all different sizes and you don’t have enough to do a big project. I have made something like 25 for this pantry. Also, if you buy the chalkboard paper roll it is so much cheaper than buying a small package of prefab ones. It isn’t too time-consuming to make your own if you cut like 3-4 sheets at a time. You never know what else you can cover in chalkboard sticky paper.
These are the chalk pens that are more permanent than chalk and they still wipe off with a damp paper towel. Here is the link on Amazon: chalk pen
I hope you enjoyed this post of organizing with Container Store products. I love the results of this project and I hope to keep organizing our kitchen. I still have a few more trouble spots and I can’t wait to tackle them soon. I always have the organizational bug, so stay tuned for more projects.
Cheers,
