Pantry overhaul AW! PIP

[Deleted]

Since the unwelcome visit of a mouse to our pantry a few days ago, I've been on a mission, involving several trips to the Container Store, BB&B and Target.  Here are the results.  Mouse-proof pantry!  We've caught 2 so far.  Little bastards.  

btw, I have no idea if this will work because I haven't attempted to upload pics on the new version and I don't see a preview option.  Walla!

Awesome!

What is on the shelf right above the canned soups? Riceroni type stuff? The nice will get in those for sure.

Wow! Great job! I have my spice cupboard slightly organized, but I am dreading organizing my pantry.

Indian food packets, tabouli mix, falafel mix, a couple boxes of mac and cheese.  Do I need to put those in a box, too?  MFing mice.

Nice job.  :Y:

Beautiful!

And yeah, I'd put those in a box too. Lock down their food sources. Ugh that sucks! But beautiful result!

[thebamker]

Anything with a cardboard outside needs to go in plastic.

They can actually chew thru plastic too, but it takes a long ass time. I doubt you leave the pantry alone long enough.

Careful with the muscle milk on the bottom shelf. You don't want those little bastards to get into that stuff.

LMAO!

I keep reading the title as panty overhaul. Hahahaha

    Yeah, you have to box those up. They chew right through cardboard. Cereal too, if you haven't boxed that. 

   If you can find some metal tins, those are cute. 

The cereal is all in containers, now (it's on the third shelf, there, all nicely lined up).  I knew I had to put the oatmeal in plastic, but didn't think about the sealed stuff in those cardboard boxes.  And I'm always up for another trip to the Container Store.  There are so many solutions there to problems I didn't know I had!

What you can't see here is that I cut out the name of each cereal and put it on top with clear tape and cut out the nutrition info and put it on the back, just in case we have guests who need to know this stuff.  I am a woman obsessed.

Nice! Also, you have such a nice, big pantry.

[keyslover]

Nice work!
We had mice a few months back and they turned me into a crazy lady! I admit I did no where near as good of a job organizing my pantry as you did- very impressive.

Ps- we ended up calling an exterminatior to get rid of them.

[psychmom]

Great job! Your pantry looks like it belongs on pinterest lol.

Out of curiosity, how much were those airtight containers on the upper shelves?

[mamasaurus]

You have good taste in soups. :Y:

That looks great and you've inspired me to overhaul my pantry.

[LLL]

[fuckyourcouch]

[hisno1girl]

I thought your subject line said PANTY OVERHAUL AW, PIP! and I'm like, OMG is she really going to show us her panties??

LOL

You pantry looks great!

[meandhim]

This makes me drool.

[julez]

Looks fantastic! I need to do a cabinet overhaul....

Is there a Container Store by you, or only the one with zero parking in the west metro?

[papie]

Ooooooh, I want to do this too! I'll add it to my life-long to-do list, right after repainting the powder room.

[revolution]

I've opened this post no less than 10 times to admire your pantry.
