Turning Blue?

I hope you have not been holding your breath

until my next post.

Some more of the make over/reorganization of
the pantry.
This cabinet has held my wrapping paper, mailing boxes
and just a host of things.
Still can see my year books, in the corner.
I had this full of fabric, craft books and other sewing things,
now that they are all moved upstairs, it became a stash it out of site place.
I started putting extra kitchen stuff in here but
it is not neat.

wrapping supplies

Now with the addition of 3 shelves
what a difference. Still the same items, from
the before pic, just better use of space.
The candle sticks, lamp, and a few other
items are out of here now, they came to live here during Christmas.
Still room to spare, too.
I would like pull out drawers, but that is to expensive for now
so instead I am using a strawberry flat to hold so table linens.
Someday, I hope to have a wrapping center, but for now it is still in here.
Except the bows are now in here also, instead of on top of another cabinet in the room.

This next cabinet is my herb cabinet

Before

Phase 1
much better.....with the addition
of two new shelves things are better
But still alot of my herbs are in plastic bags
great for shipping, but not so much for storage.
(down on the third shelf, I know they are hard to see).

So instead of tossing all those extra jars I had
I put the herbs in the jars, labeled, so much better.
Bottom shelf, veggie seeds and more herbs. LOL.

Up next..........can this be any better?
I ordered something for here, what could it be?

Just to let you know what is coming up
Finishing up the stairwell I started in January 2011
see that post here.

Thank you for visiting. May God bless you and your family richly

WAHOO

BLOGGER LET ME POST PICTURES

ONE BY ONE

Finally I was able to upload some pictures

of my reorganization project.

Some before pictures

Yes, I am sorry to say it was quite a mess,

a dumping ground.

Now mind you this is only 1of the cabinets that I

had to deal with.

First was to get all like items together, then

to find them a new home.

You will notice a new shelf in the top of this cabinet

this is where the OTC meds now live.

I will have to show you where they used to live in another post

if, blogger will let me post pictures.

Also note that there are 2 new shelves.

Now all of my soaping supplies are together.

the candles are on one shelf

and

jars (canning and otherwise) are on the

bottom two lower left.

I keep going in and looking at the new

arrangement, it is so much nicer.

I have 3 more before and after cabinets to share,

as well as some other spots

I am not completely done, I am waiting for my

Pantry Maid items to arrive then I can redo my canned food area.

Stay tuned.

God's blessing to you and yours.

Frustrating

Well I have tried to compose a post on my progress with the organization of my pantry but Blogger will not upload the pictures, it has been a week now that I have tried. Hopefully it will get fixed, have gone for help.

Oh my goodness, I did not realize it had been so long since I have posted. I apologize. This year has just gotten away from me.

I am working on reorganizing my pantry, so I think I will do some posts about that, not very exciting I know.
6 years of it being a catch all, this is quite a job. Thursday I did the tops of the cabinets, with water and some seed I could have grown grass up there. It is nice to have it clean again and who knows when it will get done again.

This room is 6 foot x about 30 feet. It is the laundry/pantry/utility/storage/refrigerator/freezer room. It used to keep my fabric stash and scrapbooking supplies in here, too, but they got moved upstairs about 1 1/2 years ago, after I move those things I had space, but since I did not reorganize then it became find a spot and stick it in there things. So today, I worked on getting all like things together, all my soaping supplies in one space, herbs in another, etc. I now have an empty cabinet....I need to decide if I should use it for food items for extra medical supplies, shampoos, and such. I could really use the containers (plastic drawers) that those things are in, in my studio for fabric. We shall see.

Ok I will leave you with a scary picture.........

Don't be afraid, I have a rope tied to my ankle just in case. More to come on the reorganization, though I am not going to be done, as I have on order some additional shelves for inside the cabinets, until then at least I can get the items into their new homes.

Thank you for stopping by........

God's blessing to you.

Last weekend we went to Cody

for a little shopping.

I found the chandelier I want

for my dining room. This one

is to big but you get the idea.

I love how they have this decorated.

Wouldn't it be fun to decorate for each special occasion?

This store keeps Christmas up all year and it was alot of fun to explore.

I am connecting to Pink Saturday,

Check out the other pink

posts over at How Sweet the Sound.

God Bless you and keep you.

Happy 4th of July
