I am not afraid anymore...

Of all my canned goods crashing down on everything!  The house came with the wire racks in the pantry.  Our pantry is narrow and deep so some of those bad boys were holding up a good bit of weight.  I kept telling the BHW that if we heard a huge crash one night, we would know what it was!  He (being the sweetie that he is!) decided to build me some wooden shelves!  Here is the pantry before.

I know it doesn't look very organized, but I promise it kind of was.  At least it was about a year ago when I cleaned it all out, purged old things and organized it.  You can still see some of my very fancy labels I made!   That would be paper taped to the shelf. That was my tutorial for you!

First, we took everything out of the pantry.  I don't have any idea how I get all this stuff into that little pantry, but I did!  I went through everything and threw away anything expired.  

Hi, my name is Kathryn and I used to have a Longaberger addiction...

There is my happy little worker bee!  He even came home early on Valentine's Day to work on my pantry!  He sort of had to as he started the project on Sunday and it took a bit longer than he planned.  All this stuff was out on my counters and I had to get it off!  Baking cookies and making pizzas were interesting with no available space to work on!  

He had already cut the shelves and we had primed and painted them.  Bless his heart, he was coming down with the flu and we didn't know it.  He didn't feel great, but kept on working!

Here she is now all done and organized (for the most part!)  There is a lot to be desired in my organizational skills, but it works for me!  It just seems that I have more room and I don't worry about stacking cans toward the front or back so they won't collapse in the middle!  He did such a good job!

He also made my spice shelves that are in here.  You can see that post here.  I am a pretty lucky lady to have a handy husband!  Thank you sweetheart!  You really are the BHW!

And I had to just add this picture of my old girl, Murphy!  You can read all about her here.  I have been playing with my new lens and I just loved this picture of her!  Isn't she beautiful?  I love her!
