Talk About Tuesday

Welcome to Talk About Tuesday! If you are new, check out the Guidelines before posting. Thanks for joining us!

It's an organized pantry! Stranger spent an entire day finishing up the cupboards on this wall. Putting the drawers together and installing everything was more work than I could have guessed. I guess I'll let him take a break before he finishes the other wall. Aren't I sweet? Actually he's been at work. That's where he goes when he needs to rest. Sometimes I wish I had a job where I could go to rest and take a break from Motherhood.

I designed the pantry with some countertop space so I could make hidden messes on it. Now if I can just keep it cleared off so I have room to make the messes I can't wait to make.

It's also a perfect spot for my wheat grinder. The bonus is that I can shut the door and hopefully not wake up the neighborhood livestock because it's loud! I like keeping all of it in a container to catch spills and make it easy to move. I had a friend who kept her wheat grinder in the garage which is another great idea to keep the noise and mess outside. Except when it's -20 degrees. Freshly ground wheat is just not worth freezing your tootsies off.

This is one of the upper cabinets. I'm still trying to decide if I want the doors installed. They will look nice but they will create one more step in putting things away and it's not like people are going to be hanging out in my pantry thinking about how nice it looks, right?

This is the pasta and rice drawer. I love big drawers!

I gathered up all the stray plastic tubs and bottles and threw them in another big drawer.

Persistence was the lucky one who got to organize all of it.

She got rid of at least half of it. She did a great job! BTW, this isn't stuff we use on a daily basis. I use pyrex for leftovers and I keep it in the kitchen.

Did I mention how fun it was to organize all my new cupboards and drawers? Good times.

What do you have to talk about this week?
