When the economy "tanked" and we took a huge financial hit...
we had to (were fortunate to be able to) move from our home to
a townhouse (long story!)
Anyway it wasn't very big and the kitchen didn't have any kind of pantry.
Let me start by saying - I am an "organizer" - It is in my blood!
I love to change things around - make a space feel new - and especially organize. (Just ask my family haha)
That being said - if you are finding yourself low on space -
by choice or otherwise - think outside the box -
like I did back then and still do of course!
This cupboard - previously used in one of our daughter's bedrooms
for clothes etc., became my...
Baking Pantry!
We ust added a few shelves and it transformed into my baking pantry!
Hidden from everyone unless you happend to open the door (haha)
It was perfect for all my flour, sugar, grains, cereal, etc.
Even a drawer for my cake decorating supplies.
(How do you like all that wonderful Tupperware?)
As for the regular pantry - well that was non-existant too...
So, true to form, I took over the coat closet for that.
Voila!
Oh..."where did the coats go?", you ask...they went in the garage....
Hey...
♥You make-do when you have too ♥
Oh...and by the way - 4 years later when we sold the townhouse and were able to move into our current home...the buyer wanted to know if we would include one thing in the sale - yes - you got it - that cupboard!
She even paid me $300 for it!
Stay Cozy gals,
♥Carrie
