Here's my DIY Pantry Makeover, I'm pretty proud of myself!
Great weekend at the Homestead! I'm finding that the older I get the more and more I enjoy staying at home and doing things around the house (LOSER)... I've been wanting to re-do my pantry for a couple weeks now and I FINALLY got all my materials together so I could get started.
I started at IKEA to get glass containers, then TJ Maxx, Marshalls, Ross and Staples...
Here's what you will need to get your pantry looking just like mine!
- Glass Containers, I bought most of mine at IKEA
- Self-Adhesive Shelf Liner, mine is Laura Ashley from Marshalls
- Martha Stewart Chalkboard Labels
- Chalk
- Baskets to hold miscellaneous items such as snacks, etc...
- Scissors and Tape Measure
- A Whole Lotta Patience
Step 1: Get EVERYTHING out of your Pantry. As you can see mine was an absolute DISASTER. I wouldn't even show you this Before picture if the after wasn't so great! This is just plain embarassing!
Step 2: Wipe down all of your shelves and start measuring. This is a very important step, apparently when I see 7 1/2 inches I like to round it to 8 inches and that DOESN'T work. I almost gave up after my first cutting attempt failed. I finally got the hang of it and started installing the paper.
Step 3: Figure out what Items you would like to put into your containers
- Pasta
- Sugar
- Flour
- Oats
- Cereal
- Tea/Coffee
- You get the idea!
Step 4: Start putting everything into your new Pantry!
Let me know if you have any questions about my Pantry Makeover. What do you think?

Your pantry looks amazing! I love the labeled jars. What a great makeover. My husband hates disorder and I'm the most disorderly person I know, so he would love me forever if I did something like this.. :) Thanks for the inspiration!
