Not because I ran a spanktacular 12 miles this morning – with the first nine miles at a 9:36 pace, which alone, I think, qualifies me for worshipness – but because I spent my weekend doing this . . .
Behold the glory of my pantry – in all its contained goodness. (Yeah, I know, we eat a lot of pasta. It’s not whole wheat, bite me and call the Surgeon General.) I really wish I had a before picture, because I didn’t plan on organizing the pantry this weekend. It happened rather suddenly after I happened to pour one container of pasta into one haphazard clear container. That’s all it took. It’s really pretty sad, but the high I got from seeing the pasta in a little clear, click clack, container is more than my little heart can explain.
So off to the Contaner Store I went. Twice. $300.00 dollars and two days later, I have the bedazzlement of organized and clearly contained dry goods. It makes me want to cry. I even wrote the instructions to each pasta, oatmeal or rice under the lid. I still have more to do though, Kenza’s cereals and her snacky stuff like her Christmas and Hanukah candy are all a mess.

nice pictures of it!!!
Suz,
I am hungry now! Looks awesome. See all of those trips back and forth made it all worth it. It looks really fancy pants now!
Wowie.
I can only imagine how ginormous your kitchen must be to have this much storage space.
That’s pretty impressive. We just bought new silverware. It’s pretty! In a manly sort of way, of course.
Well your portfolio is now complete for that interview at Safeway. Good luck!
Holy Freaking Wolf Brand Chili!! I’m in awe… I only have one question, how the hell do you get a pantry that big?
And great job on the 12 miles too!
Yes, we’ve had that happen a couple times in the last several months. We have a mighty (at least I think so) pantry in our basement. I have some decent pictures here (http://www.flickr.com/photos/nevadamtnbear/sets/72157602936579644/).
I don’t have pictures of our cupboards, we don’t have a bona fide pantry, but we’ve done quite the same thing, except instead of round, we’ve got rectangle containers, all labeled and with the cooking duration for things like the 10 grain cereal, oatmeal, etc.
Now, we just need to get our pantry fully stocked. We’re anal retentive like that. I even label the stuff I buy for recipes with the recipe name, cookbook, page no. from cook book, so it’s designated. Like I said, I’m anal retentive like that.
Nice job. Great photo’s. Congrats on the awesome run too. Someday I’ll run that fast.
my God. Its beautiful in its sparseness.
Man I’m so smart – I was thinking “Container Store” even b4 I read your post!
Hey, we’re twins. I ran 12 today too at 9:33 average pace
oh, this defies words
Now that is truly an incredible sight. I could post a picture of what our cupboard looks like, but I’d rather not. It’s basically the complete opposite of yours.
On the other hand, our pasta is whole wheat. There!
I wish I had your cupboard space. I will have to post a comparison shot later of my stored goods (after I clean the kitchen)
As an OCD person, this makes my heart patter. I love it.
Should we call you “Monk”?
It’s very mod, very organized and somehow chic all at the same time.
Love it.
I’m sorry, how is it that I’m the one who needs a 3-step program??
You OCD pasta freak.
As if I didn’t already worship you beyond belief, now I am signing you up for goddess status!! You don’t know how impressed I am by your pantry and I still haven’t forgotten your closets either!
Too funny! Very nice!
Happy New Year, Susan!
Um, scary.
That is one beautiful pantry! Heaven of pantries.
this is so beautiful, i almost shed a tear. the containers, the space, the space, the cabinets. I bet you have a real kitchen too.
well done!
HOLY SHIT. Look at all that negative space!
Hi
I was looking for fellow runners and came across your blog.Your pantry inspires me !!!That is awesome !
Holy crap…a pantry after my own heart….
Oh no! It’s almost as bad as your wardrobe!
oh see dee!
You clearly need to go grocery shopping – there is way too much room on those shelves.
I have clear cannisters too, with COLOURED lids. They came home with a bonus of peanut butter inside them… but they only work for short pasta.
Oh my goodness, gracious, me – LOOK at that pantry. I absolutely LOVE it and am officially inspired. LOVE it!
Hi Susan,
I’ve never commented before, but I believe this is comment worthy….
Outstanding, Drool-provoking, masterpiece of organisational wonder! Bravo!
