A New Home

Those fun red baskets have a new home!


I love having a large pantry in the Hayley Home, but have learned that the large pantry actually has me. In other words...I can't find anything. I purchase duplicate items. Or worse, I don't purchase what I need. Something had to be done!


Enter the red baskets! By grouping like items, I can now easily find things in the pantry. Plus the red makes a nice pop of color against the chocolate brown interior wall color.


Isn't that better?

Projects still to come to tame this out-of-control pantry include:
  • Hanging the step stool so it's out of the way
  • Moving dry goods into proper storage containers
  • Adding dividers (like these and these) to vary shelf height

  2. Yeah, like get the bottle of cinnamon and he finds it buried among 50 other bottles, all looking alike. In a red basket.
