It can’t be Sunday evening already…but, can I tell you how incredible our pantry looks? Right now, it’s a little Stepford Wifey in terms of neatness and order, but I bet you ten bucks we can keep it looking nice for at least a couple of weeks.
We took out the old junky shelving, repainted, installed a new light fixture…put up new shelves, rearranged everything, threw out 10-year old spices (you read right) and added a spiffy new rug. The spot beneath where the spices are…we haven’t decided if we want to put a wine fridge in that spot, or just a wine rack…or what. We’re also adding a new door - something more pantry-ish, but haven’t decided which one and it’ll take a couple of weeks to come in.
Now we can cross the pantry off our To Do list. Next up…hardware for the kitchen cabinets!

10 years? I’ve got you beat by YEARS! I think I have some 20 year old stuff from my first marriage. And it still doesn’t occur to me to toss them. I don’t know why. If I’ve had them this long, it’s pretty clear that I will never use them. And even if I did-ewww.
I’m not sure how that one spice made it through…since I’ve cleaned out the spice rack at least three times since we moved here.
My mom just tossed out 20-year old poultry seasoning this weekend. YUCK!
So, uhm yeah… Do you two hire out or what?? Hehehe!
Seriously, I run a pretty tight myself but I’m sure that the next time I ’spring clean’ I too will find the ‘missed spice’ that should have been thrown out LONG ago!
The one advantage to having been active duty military is you moved enough to only have 6 year old spices laying around. Geez, now I’m going to have to go look. Looks great.
Wow! The new pantry looks great! If I had a pantry I’d do that, too! Does the top of the frig count? LOL!
Hey, here’s a thought…
Maybe I could hire y’all to come and re-do our closet…
What do ya say???
