How to have a Pinterest worthy pantry.

.Pantry organisation is not a simple task. You've undoubtedly gone down the #pinterestpantry never ending hole if you're reading this. The good news is that getting the beautiful, Pinterest-organized pantry of your dreams doesn't have to be stressful. 

The size or shape of your pantry doesn't matter. This blog will hopefully motivate you to organise your pantry shelves so that preparing meals and storing food can be as enjoyable as eating and purchasing it.

1. Start organising your pantry by pulling everything out. Then make sure to discard any items that are out of date or that you no longer use. 

2. Begin to group similar products together and categorise them into areas for snacks, baking, Cereals, Sauces etc. This makes it easy to find what you're looking for if they have been placed with similar items.

3. Condiments or other like items can be put onto Turntables or lazy Susans. These are great for corner shelves and low and high spaces making it easy for you to reach everything. 

4. And last but certainly not least LABELS!!! This is where it all comes together and it makes it way easier to find everything and stops you from grabbing the wrong ingredients!
