Matt was in charge of Jack pretty much the entire day, so I could dedicate uninterrupted time organizing our pantry. It's been a disheveled mess for months now and finally I decided I couldn't stand it another day of it. Now that it's complete, I feel as if a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulder and it feels so good. I plan to
slowly tackle every nook and cranny of the house into practical, functional spaces.

The Before... I know. It's really bad. |

Midway through. Thinking to myself "What did I get myself into?" |

Jack came home and decided he wanted to "help." |

The After. I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out. It may not be "Pinterest Perfect," but it works for me. I did away with a lot of my pasta jars and baking containers. I was getting sick of wasting time emptying the boxes into different containers. It seemed kind of silly to do and this is a lot more practical and efficient. Being that Matt and I are on a tight budget, I utilized things that I already owned and two of the bins were actually diaper boxes that I simply wrapped in gift wrap. It will work fine for now, until I can afford to upgrade in the future. |
I just cleaned mine out too!! I've been on a total nesting kick with a week off work! Looks great Lains!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Laura! Although, I'm pretty certain yours looks 100x better. :) I cannot believe you are gonna be a mommy in just over a month! CRAZY! I feel like I was just at your wedding, having the time of my life. ;) I will continue to pray that your baby is happy and healthy and that your labor goes smooth. Let me know if you have any questions about the big day, I know that having a child doesn't make me an expert, but I know when I was pregnant it was nice to have people to count on for advice. But I will only give you my two cents if you want it, because I know how annoying it is to get unwanted advice from people that think just because they have kids of their own, they know EVERYTHING on the matter. Thinking of you! Please be sure to add me to your phone tree when baby does arrive. Good Luck if I don't talk to you before then. :)
