Eat your heart out Kardashians- This is what a pantry should look like

2 years ago

We got snowed in today so we spent the day organizing our pantry.

We had 10 years of collected cr*p (Pinto beans that expired in 2016 anyone?) and I am SO happy to have it tidy again. It's truly amazing how much stuff gets collected (we've cleaned it out over time, but not a thorough removal of everything like we did today).

Not quite so artistic as the Kardashian pantry but I think more functional, at least for us!

I should have taken before pictures to better show the transformation, but oh well.

I’m so jealous! I need the can shelves and lazy Susan, those are awesome.

I spot a crystal doorknob, too. 😍

Ok, stupid question time (posted on the Annuals forum, too, but since we're ALWAYS talking about poppies over here, I figured I'd ask)... Aside from the perennial Orientale Brilliante (oh YEAH!!!!!) that finally arrived this year, the annual varieties are now about 3-5" tall. I have an issue: I have a whole section in this bed that are starting to form bloom heads- eghads! This can't be good. I thought a 'carpet' of poppies would be a good thing, and now I'm wondering if I need to actually pull a ton of them out to give them room because they are either stunted, or misbehaving, or something. Not sure what's going on. It's only one small section that's starting to form the bloom-heads; the rest of the bed is still fine and just growing normally. Help!

Seen Your Kitchen, What's the Rest of Your House Look Like? Part2

House I designed and planted all the plants and shrubs myself. Of course I needed a big truck and manpower for the two trees. My old rescue girl. Back yard and the "BOSS" Foyer to game room Area Front porch, steps and walk way diy bricking is done,the cement area below is now a bricked step. Next the back porch and patio. The picture you have seen a thousand times. Living room you have seen a thousand times. Miles of nature preserve for walking,biking or horses just around the corner. A mile down this path leds to a state park with some great kayaking and canoeing. 12 minutes to the beach And, since I'm shameless...this 4/3 house on 1 1/4 acre is in P.B. County and will be up for sale in a year or so. I best get a better camera and let someone else take the pictures lol.

Pull-outs in pantry cabinet - how wide are your pull-outs?
Q
Comments (7)
Good question! There are SO many things to think about, that really by the end sometimes I think many of us end up aware of so many details...way more than the average person, even your average contractor...etc. I just measured my pullouts. As cyycdm stated, my drawers are only 22" long, but DH installed them (we did most of the kitchen DIY), and he placed them further back (than you see in her photo). They are full extension, so you can still access every square inch, but being a bit further back allows for extra stuffing overflow of bags, etc on shelves! LOL My frameless doors don't completely clear the sides of the cabinet frame, so the carpenter had to supply 1" bumpers for the side where the door is attached, so the drawer can clear the door, I'm sure you need the same thing, only in framed, you will need those bumpers on both sides, so a loss of 2" there. My slides only take up 1/4", so there is a total of 1 1/2" wasted space, my pullouts are 15 1/2" wide for an 18" pantry. Believe it or not these had to be built 3 times before they fit...no wonder my kitchen company went bankrupt (the day my new granite was to be installed, BTW) I would question why so much space needs to be lost, that seems wasteful to me.

Bring out your 'Cold Heart'
Q
Comments (14)
Thank you, Jo! I'm definitely impressed with Cold Heart's growth, especially when so many I planted last year either croaked or came up MUCH smaller than they went in. I'm trying to switch to pine straw this year for mulch but it's looking more and more like I'm going to have to go with the red mulch again. Everybody's out of pine straw. Love the color of the red stuff but the pine straw is so much healthier for the Hostas as it breaks down.

Aren’t those shallow basket racks the best? They can keep the little things from disappearing into the nooks and crannies between bigger things, and nothing gets tucked to the back. I had a counter-depth pantry once and could never keep it organized. I had pantry drawers once and found them a little less flexible for food. Another pantry was the cabinets above the washer and dryer at one end of the kitchen; boy, that was a pain.

My pantry needs keep changing as my life changes, and I never have the right pantry at the right time!

We use the blue pockets for things like gravy mixes, etc. There's not a ton in them at the moment, just some spare spices :)

I definitely love the basket rack, it's super useful for spices and oils. We have one on the other wall too but it was too narrow to take a picture of.

Fun2BHere happy to help if you'll babysit my crazy toddler while I do it ;)

LOL post pics if you do pudgeder :)

Does anyone have a corner pantry, with the diagonal door?
