It's that time of year again to start cleaning deep down. I've decided my pantry needs some major cleanout. Too many things in there. The pantry is quite a large space, at least until it starts getting filled with things.
It measures 12 ft. X 7 ft. It is 8 ft at high at its low side. Due to it being part of the addition the ceiling slants upward.
We keep a small refrigerator in there to use for the loads of eggs our hens give us in the summer to sell. There are also two small chest freezers. One is mine and one my dad brought with him when he moved in. Both are fairly full. Then there are these fantastic shelves my son made me that go from floor to ceiling on the low end. There are also wire shelves on one wall above the veggie bin and trash/recycle bins. Under those shelves I have pegboard holding my cast iron pans. Just inside the doorway which is double door width, but no doors, is a small ladder hanging with my pots, and things. Wire shelves on the wall above the freezers.
For the most part things are organized. Shelves have small bins holding things that are not used as often. Top shelves hold big items, dehydrator, stockpots, paper towels and dishes and vases. Everything else needs to be sorted and straightened. I found some nice glass jars and chalkboard labels. I also use Tupperware for a few things. The things that are not put in those containers such as spaghetti sauce jars and packets of things and cans are being reorganized this weekend. I found some plastic bins for just this purpose.
So that is my plan, but we shall see how it goes. I will try to post pictures once I am done.
Anyone else feeling the fall cleaning bug??
