Once again it was time to organize the blivet of a pantry because someone (not me) keeps buying stuff without checking the pantry. It's a good price. It was on sale. It was Tuesday. The sky was blue.
The pantry is organized by shelf: jams, water enhancers, condiments, oil. Canned goods. Pasta, canned tomatoes, tomato paste, jars of gravy (pasta sauce). Baking, tea, snacks, paper goods. On the floor, storage for platters, sports drinks.
When it was all organized, I stepped back to admire my work when I saw I had forgotten the Eldest's coffee pods. There is limited counter space in the kitchen and there was no more shelf space in the pantry.. What to do? What to do?
I ordered an over-the-door shoe organizer. I found one that wasn't too long because the closet is built over the cellar stairs so the floor of the pantry would have interfered with a long shoe organizer.
I found one that was short and not too wide. I'll have to do something about the hooks because the closet door doesn't close all the way. The pockets aren't as deep as I was hoping, but for now it will do.

Happy TDay! Oh that is a lovely and creative idea for the coffee pods! I love it. I hope one day to have a pantry like yours. It's a great idea to stock up when there are sales. I think I would totally stock up on pasta, dish soap, paper towels, beans and more. :) Have a lovely day and a wonderful rest of the week! :)
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to have the space to store things
DeleteGood for you getting your pantry organized. Those shoe holders are super for storing things besides shoes, aren't they? I like how you think when it comes to storing the eldest's coffee pods. :) Happy T day.
ReplyDeleteThe pantry is always needing to be organized. The shoe holders are great.
DeleteHow about getting a few Command 'thingies' (you know the ones I mean, the Velcro ones) and put them around the edges on all four sides.(Remove the hooks altogether.)
ReplyDeleteJust thinking out loud......
That's a great idea. I think I have some of those, too
DeleteThat's an excellent idea. Well done.

DeleteLOL on the first - happens here, too with the buying. Clever idea with the pads! Must show Ingo! Happy T-Day!
ReplyDeleteSo far, it's worked out
DeleteThat's a clever idea to get a shoe organizer for the coffee pods. Thankfully in our household I'm the one who buys groceries, so no one else but me stocks the pantry. Happy T day!
ReplyDeleteThe shoe organizer seems to be working well.
DeleteWhat a good idea to store the coffee pods and very visible. I mean you can see clearly which ones you have.
ReplyDeleteI have a pantry too. A walk-in one with floor to ceiling shelving on one side and a counter (with kitchen equipment I don't use every day, like a juicer and a bread machine) and the dishwasher and the an upright freezer. I love my pantry but every now and then it needs a sort out. I walk into my pantry and see what needs using up and what needs to be replenished etc. Every woman should have one.
Happy T-Day

My eyes turned green. I would love to have a large pantry like yours.
DeleteI’ve been meaning to buy more non-perishables for my pantry, but at the moment it’s not very fully supplied. Yours looks good.
ReplyDeleteWe try to keep things on hand and use up what we already have. At least, that's what I've been telling Himself
DeleteFull marks for getting your pantry organized, and a clever idea for the coffee pods.
ReplyDeleteHappy T Day.
All the best Jan
Thank you!
DeleteWhat a great idea!

DeleteI love your description of why someone bought stuff, the sky was blue. Made me laugh out loud! Ihave some one at this house who does that! Great idea for storage of the coffee pods. I hope you had a great t day! Foxy Stamping- Sharon
