ORGANIZATION: The Pantry part 1 Day #7

I am splitting this one up into 2 posts as I really have 2 pantry's. I had time to organize one of them, but not the other yet.

When we moved into our house this pantry/storage closet was a coat closet. We really didn't need a coat closet in my opinion so I turned it into a pantry and kitchen storage closet. It is sort of unique as it also houses our fish tank (or at least the backside of it).

You will understand as you look at the photos.

Here it is BEFORE:

(This drawer system holds my kids snacks (top drawer), napkins/napkins/lunch bags/can coozies (middle drawer), and coffee filters/some storage containers/misc (bottom drawer)

Here is what the fish tank looks like from the front!

I got rid of a box full of stuff that I will be donating! WOW, it really feels good to purge & get rid of unnecessary stuff!

Enjoy!!!
