No, No, NOOOO!!! I said PANTRY!!!!
UGH! I did NOT say panties IN the PANTRY!!!
I said PANTRY!!!!
Last week I was looking at our pantry. I was envisioning some changes I want to make, in better keeping with the products we use, the way I cook, how many people access the pantry, etc.
So I took a picture. You can see it above. No, huh, just kidding. That's not my pantry. Sorry. I had you going didn't I? (Ahem.)
I thought this might be a good opportunity for us to take stock, both of the state of our pantries themselves (or wherever you store your food) as well as what they hold -- just in time for holiday meals and baking.
So, for the next two Mondays, I will be putting up a Mr. Linky for you to post sometime during that week (or for my non-bloggy friends, non-public bloggy friends or those of you who would rather remain anonymous with regard to the state of your pantry -- email me your pictures and posts and I will add them to that day's post on my blog, with or without your identifying information).
First Monday of November: a current picture of your pantry BEFORE with a post saying why you do or do not like it, some ideas for changes you want to make as well as what your idea of the perfect pantry is. If your pantry is already perfect, or if you have recently revamped it, wait til the next week.
Second Monday of November: a picture of your pantry AFTER you have cleaned it or painted it or rearranged it or restocked it or..... with a post about what you did and how it will make your life easier for the holidays. Give a shout out to any friends, products or companies that you found useful in helping you get it that way.
Next Monday I, too, will post the real picture of my pantry, with no cleaning, no arranging, no changes of any kind, along with my post. And hopefully I will have it the way I want it by the following week...
And if you want to post some cute picture of granny panties, well, that's your business.

Wow... I love your pantry! lol.. no I did read and it isn't yours.. but it is a lovely pantry!!! So organized and loverly on the eyes...Well, I did just reorganize my pantry 2 months ago but am feeling that it needs some "umph" .. and so I am going to try to get involved in this!! :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)
Well, my pantry is entirely too small, but I hate to miss out on anything, so I guess I can move the canned goods from one side to the other! I DREAM of a walk-in pantry with two freezers and an extra fridge.
I would so do this with you if I didn't have the world's smallest pantry! It's already pretty organized - I'm not tootin' my own horn - it just has to be because it's so tiny. I have to be able to find things or I go nuts. One tip -that helps a lot - I always keep my ongoing grocery list taped to the inside of the door, so when an item is low or gone, all I (or my hubby) have to do is put a checkmark by that item. Then, when it's time to go to the market, I grab that and I'm set! This is a simple document I created in Excel. You can change it to fit your family's particular needs. I'd be happy to send it to you if you're interested. Mine is categorized by the layout of the market(s) I use most.
Maybe after this we can have a competition for the smallest pantry, cause I'm sure mine is smaller... it's actually out in the garage... oooh I dream of a pantry, actually in the kitchen, and one that you can WALK INSIDE OF! I know I wouldn't have a problem filling the space available.
I am inspired, I will definitly tackle the black hole aka my pantry. I wold give my big toe for the pantry you showed though, that would be awesome.
Iposted a comment on your WOF post, I was there too loooooved it!
This should be fun Tiffany. I just re-did mine (or I should say my husband did). I might have an old picture of it messy. I'll look.

Hi Sweet Tiffany, I have not been blogging because I'm way out of whack with my schedule, but I did, however, get a before picture. I will post it tomorrow. It is awful. People will be offended when they view it. Maybe I should place a warning, rated 'R' for "Rat's Nest." Or "Graphic-- very disorganized."
