More pantry organization

(If I didn't have a pantry I would totally steal this idea - so cute)

I have been working on organizing the pantry this week - 

Got some bigger metal shelves from IKEA to match the wine rack that I moved up out of the basement.  Also put my little wine fridge in there, too.  And put some stuff in mason jars.  I still had some empty space on the shelves - so I went shopping at Costco.  Problem solved.

I've been home on "vacation" with the kiddos all week, since my childcare (aka Grandma) is enjoying a much deserved week off in Florida.  

I always have grand plans of how much I'm going to get done at home, but it never quite works out that way.  I've spent most of my time cleaning the house - and it still looks about the same as it did when I started.  I heard somewhere once that cleaning when you have kids is like shoveling before it's stopped snowing.   And I find that to be quite accurate.

Got a new (red!) garbage can.  My new plan is to have the garbage can out in the open, and keep the recycling bins in the pantry.

Still need to decide what to do with this wall - maybe some hanging baskets or something.

Maybe next weekend we'll get around to the whole mudding, sanding, and painting thing.  Although I'm not in a huge hurry.  I like the painting part, but the mudding and sanding?  Not so much.
