ORGANIZE WITH ME | Pantry, Refrigerator, Cabinets | Farmhouse Kitchen Organization 

Thank you for showing us and reminding us that you're just normal - messy and disorganized sometimes, and just trying to do your best with what you've been given. You don't glamorize things, yet you still do things beautifully and mindfully. Inspiring!

When my boys were young and my father in law was alive he would gift us one gallon jar of honey a year and we would store it beside our wood stove to keep it from crystallizing. Such SWEET memories. ❤

For deep shelves I really like using the clear plastic bins and then you can slide it in and out and see what is in there. I don’t seem to lose things that easily since I started using the clear bins :) Then for the bottles of vinegars and oils I got a little lazy Susan and it works like a charm!

First of all, thank you for showing us your mess. That isn't always an easy thing to do for a lot of women, and it made me very humble today. Just so you know, I am now one person in my house, and there are times I am super glad I have cupboard doors to help "hide" things🤣. Secondly, you look wonderful! Thirdly, I appreciate you.

Deep cabinet idea: I’d take those deep shelves OUT in a heartbeat, and use shallow shelves lining all the sides and back (cut the ones you have or use 6-8” planks, same depth as your pretty green shelves on the opposite wall) that way you don’t even need long baskets or clear trays. It’s all lined around the walls on the inside of that cabinet. I DO LOVE your pretty shelves on the left with the jars and the paint color in the whole pantry SO MUCH. Oh and the copper things in the back wall. So good.

“Okay, I can’t take this anymore!” That seems to be when we decide to organize too! 🤪 Thank you for the motivation! Your pantry is beautiful! We aren’t naturally organized either! Us girls spend most of our day taking care of the animals on the farm and don’t have an abundance of time to keep things organized…we hope to do better this year though!😜 May you have a blessed year in 2022, from your fellow RU-vid friends from Kansas!

Wow, Lisa, any one of those tasks would have been a win for the day and you did ALL of them in one day with a baby strapped to yourself! Simply amazing! It looks awesome and motivates me to do the same.

Long slender clear slidable bins would help maximize that cabinet. You could categorize them and slide it out for easy access. Beautiful kitchen!!

Loved this! I live in a small older home and have to be creative just like you with storage solutions. Like your hutch I have a buffet that allows me so much storage in the kitchen. Have you ever tried filing the games like books on a shelf? Especially if you are the one who always does the reaching, I find it works better than stacking and stays organized longer, each game goes right back into its empty slot. I use a basket for the little items like card games etc. In the cabinet above your fridge if it's deep enough you might be able to "file" the cookie sheets etc using tension rods as separators , just use sets of two, one up front and one in the middle spanned across the cabinet and file the pans in.

Cleaning and organizing and purging can really declutter your mind as well!! The more you do it, the easier it is. Great video!!!!

Baskets work awesome for me with organizing any space. If you can find baskets that fit well on those shelves you can label categories on the baskets and put the categories you use less often in the back. "Exotic baking", "tomato products", "party supplies" or just something super broad like "sugars and sweets"

So happy to see someone labeling jars the "old' way as I do...no fancy stuff needed..😄 Btw love your pantry...

For the deep cabinets you could put like ild lunch trays or old cookie sheets down to slide in and out and see

I am amazed at how much you can get done with Theo in the sling (and the rest of the family around)!!

I looooove to watch your vlogs. So inspirational. Im dreaming of life as yours - we have house on big estate, currently 35weeks pregnant with first baby and Im so looking forward for our big garden and maybe chickens later on. Love cooking and taking care for our home and little family (for now)as you. Im So grateful.

I’m so glad you showed an option of labeling without using a vinyl cutter. I don’t have one and don’t plan on getting one. Another option is writing on your tape with permanent marker. If I’m doing short term labeling (freezer storage) fold one end of the tape. It makes a pull handle. It comes right off. For the freezer I use scotch tape. I discovered this method when saving golden liquid, breast milk😁.

Such a good video! Full of motivation! Can't wait to get home and clean:)

Feels like a monthly thi g for me here... 12 kids with 5 left at home... things get out of order if I don't stay on it even though we're very minimal ❤️ your channel!

With the little cabinet section inside the pantry... Have you thought about maybe putting pull out drawers that you can purchase at places like Lowe's or Home Depot and install yourselves? That will give you more access to the back part of it.

Gosh Lisa, having a family of 10, you keep your house organized. Wow just wow 😅

In the pantry cabinet would it make it more workable if you put in U shaped shelves that weren't as deep in the back? I use racks in my shelves to make use of vertical space that leave an open space in the center that I can place a large item temporarily for loading/unloading.

We like to store our games standing up on their sides like books. That way when you want one you just slide it out and don't have to stack and restack.

I would take out a shelf in your deep storage cabinet and place all the electric items that you had on the bottom shelf. Then use the bottom shelf for your items that get lost in the deep storage cabinet.

I have a friend with a similar cabinet and when she redid hers, she bought long baskets that were the same depth as the cabinet so when she needed to get at something she could just slide the basket out. She put some tags on the front of each one with what was in the baskets so it was easy to find. Maybe that would help with your problem cabinet?

Love your pantry. It is such a pretty place and it makes me feel peaceful. Even if it’s a little disorganized at times.

I am so motivated each time I see one of your video's; I run around the kitchen. Thank you for sharing.

Hi Lisa- you’re kitchen and your whole house is just so cool.. it’s my favorite old farmhouse.. And I try to model my old farmhouse like yours ( I steal a lot of your ideas while I’m still working on my farmhouse,sorry).. I’ve never said a negative word about anything you have done cause you’re such a awesome person but those stainless steel straw would scare me to death with all your little guy’s!!! I’ve heard and seen way to many nasty accidents associated with them.. Just thought I would throw that out there at you… Thanks for all your video’s ☺️

Thank you so much for labeling your jars without a Cricut!! 😆😆😆🥰

I never watch any blog before until I discovered your blog just a few days ago and I have watched most of your videos..enjoying every part of your life, .your big family , the farm with animals , your creativity and hard work in every part of your life....I guess you could say I am living vicariously my youth dream through you.....you are amazing and I wish you a great year in your beautiful home with your lovely family and beautiful home..

Ok. My personal tip for deep shelves in the pantry. Lazy Susan or installed pull out shelves. Sheet pans/baking pans, store on edge and use lid racks to separate for easy access.

For deep cabinets, the best thing to do is pull out trays on sliders if you can.

I would try long narrow bins/baskets in the deep cupboard so you can pull them out and see what you have easily! Create drawers essentially.

Love your channel! In the deep shelves you can use acrylic organizers so you can slide them out and get to the items in the back🙂

Your label says powered sugar! We could all do with some! 😁

Such a relatable organizing and simple cleaning video, loved following along!

Yeahhh i m thé second. Veryyy big happy newyear to you and your family...... I looove your Chanel sooooo much Kissesss1🥰🥰🥰🥰🤗❤❤❤❤

There were so many tips here that I needed to hear! For example just moving things or refilling things can create more space and leave the space so much more organized. Thanks so much for the inspiration and how to have a clear mindset for the New Year. Many thanks.

The kitchen is the life of a house. I like to think of it as the heart of my home.

I can second what you said about the tasks that need to be done more than once a year. We are a big homeschool family and I find that it's once a quarter, definitely. I was not able to get to half of what I needed to in the fall, but I did get to the missed spaces over Christmas break. It makes all the difference in the world when it comes to the flow of homeschool days and life when spaces are organized!

So satisfying. I think this mid-west freeze has gotten me dusting and organizing too. I also carried my babies around everywhere. Then I got to thinking... my babies were born in the SEVEN lb. range. I forget that Theo is much bigger! I wonder how much he weighs now??? :)

For your deep cabinet, maybe install vertical pull outs? If that’s too expensive, then maybe clear organizing containers if you can find some that deep and that are your prefer width size?

I am so jealous of your pantry! Wow! It's a dream! So handy and beautiful! 😍

Can't believe you did all that in one day!

I used 18 inches lazy susan for my mom’s deep and low shelves; it works great with cans and smaller jars 🌸🌼🌺

For the deep pantry.. how about “lazy Susan” trays?

Hi Lisa, I am watching this video and I am thinking what might really be a great help for you to see everything in your pantry cupboard is to have sliding drawers installed. I used to have a deep pantry, too, so I can definitely relate to your situation. I enjoy your videos very much! -Gina

Lisa, well… I’m exhausted!! Oh yeah, you did all the work. A job well done. Organization being part of my cleaning business, this was a very satisfying video. I love that you don’t go crazy with new costly containers. Mason jars are my friend. I am a basket lover as well. I try to help people use what is in the home already. Soo satisfying! People with deep cabinets/pantrys, I help them do a little map on inside of door to guide other members of the household to what’s further inside. I bet your daughter would love to do that for you. Thanks for a great refresh of all your kitchen areas.

Oh my gosh! One of my fruit/veggie drawers is totally a cheese drawer, too! That make me happy to see. Life without cheese is not worth living, I say! :)

Lazy Susan will probably help in the pantry for the double door cabinet

Thanks for the inspiration! How about long clear shoe-box sized tubs for that deep area in the pantry? Label each tub then you can pull out what you need. 🥰

Thank you so much for sharing!!! I admire you so much and it was relieving to see even your home can get piled up with stuff like the rest of us! If you don’t mind, could you also do an updated organizing video on your kids clothes and how you handle saving clothes for future kids to grow into? I’m so overwhelmed by my kid’s things and would love to see how you approach it!

I’ve been binge watching for days! Loving all your videos! So inspiring! Thanks!😊

Seeing everything reorganized is so satisfying! Lovely video :)

A kitchen with a good, old fashioned pantry is a really well functioned, lots of storage kitchen. I miss my pantry.

Wonderful job Lisa. Nothing like having things organized. Love it ☺️!!! Happy new year🎉🥂🕛!

Looks great! No doubt it will be so much easier to find what you need. You are blessed with so much storage. You might want to invest in lucite or wicker bins that slide out for those deep shelves in the wall cabinet. Works like a charm! Blessings...daisy

I cant believe you succeed to make me move from sofa to make my kitchen clean😂😂

A fantastic job, if only I’d had your ambition! How does baby feel about all this moving around, tell you mom it’s time for a rest

In my deep cabinets I put things in baskets or trays that I could slide in and out to get to the item I needed. It helped this short woman a lot

Love your pantry. Beautuful colour. Wish I had something similar; my has doesn't have a pantry at all so I always have problems keeping my stuff.

Thank you for showing the thought process. Gave me some extra inspiration for organizing. My husband took over the kitchen this year while I had knee surgeries ( for which i am very thankful), he organizes as an engineer, by fitting the most in. He is also tall, so I can't reach things now. I organize by type like you do. I think we need to go through together, and figure things out. I appreciate how you and your husband care for your family, and work to support yourself. We were homeschoolers.too, and i supplemented by teaching classes, and working art festivals in the summer.

Love your pantry and everything looks great! Oh, I love your home! 😍🥰

I'm struggling to find spice jars that hold a decent amount. Any chance you can link to your jars or any idea what ounce size they are? Thanks!!! Love your videos! So much inspiration!

Happy New Year! 🎈🥳🎉 Great time to organize/ re examine what is necessary for everyday! Hats off to you for your house management & doing it while holding ur baby!! ❤️🥰😘

Question....I notice on your spice jars, you have a red rubber ring; are those something you buy replacements for? If so, where? TIA

Would additional light in that deep cabinet help? Maybe those cheap pop on pop off lights that adhere to sides of cabinet or top of each of the lower shelves??🤔

Is anyone else just LOOKING AT THE BABY? 😂

I’m motivated!!! Thanks for posting. Our video to help us all w/ that. I love your old farmhouse. I try to make my apartment look like your old farmhouse, BUT???????? It’s still an apartment. Ha!

This tine of year I always get the itch to clean things out and organize! Glad I am not the only one. Looks great Lisa and hope you had a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year as well. 😊

Lisa - I’m going to search your channel for a video on how you use your grain mill, then use the grain afterwards. If you haven’t done a video already - that would be a really informative one. Appreciate your channel!

your videos give me anxiety and pain, don't you get tired of carrying your baby day and night!? Just looking at you makes my back hurt!

I just found you and this is my 3rd video I am watching. My first thought when you said that cabinet was deep and a toss all, I thought maybe dividing in half or thirds and create rolling shelves. You can organize and pull out each section easily to see what you have, find what you need and then put away without fuss.

Lisa the pantry you are cleaning out that has your packaged goods and stuff, you should add mother board in from that would give you even more space then you could put your packaged goods into glass jars and get rid of all the packages you could see what's in there! ☺️

Her kitchen always looks so cozy and warm! I don't know how she did all that work with carrying the baby around. Does it not hurt her back? Is there a special reason for carrying the baby like that?

I don't know what it is, but I love some organization in my home and I love seeing the tools others use as well! Gives me great ideas, too! Thank you for sharing this type of video. Sometimes we just gotta revisit areas as we all forget what we have and that doesn't do us any good. Reminds me, I also have to clean out my fridge. 😩 haha

Did no one else catch that the label says “powered” sugar??😝😝 😘♥️♥️

We started storing our games on their sides and it was a game changer!!! (No pun intended! 🤣)

I am thinking that I should start using more jars as they may take up less room then even the plastic containers I have...mmm love the pantry and also the idea for your spice jars of stacking them.

For long deep cabinets you might try long plastic bins. You can put everything in there and pull them out to see what you have in the back.

I lovr how you yse your head cleaning out the game cabinet. I always use my head. LOL

Just wondering if it is possible to put a door on the other side of that wall?? That way you can either divide it into two. Or have two ways to access it?? Just a thought.

Rub some beeswax on the bottom of those hutch drawers and they'll slide in and out nicer.

I love organizing. Feels soooo good. Great job, Lisa!

What kind of vacuum do you have? Looking for a durable one. Thanks

Please swab that hutch for lead before putting things like straws into direct contact with it.

It looks like you could split that bottom flour shelf into three shelves by changing the height of half of the shelf

I am definitely motivated to get my kitchen organized!! Why is it so much fun to watch others clean and organize 😁Thanks for sharing!

You’re pantry is one of my most favorite places on RU-vid!

Ty!! I been a housewife for 29 years and still learning

I heard you say you had a dutch oven! I got one for Christmas. I’d love to see some recipes using it!! 😍

You can bend the peg in your cabinet hing slightly to keep the cabinet doors open

That pantry is nothing short of a work of art. It's stunning!

Definitely motivated me! Love your kitchen

I love how you show that you're holding your baby while you're organizing. Like, it's refreshing and inspiring to see HOW a woman is able to get everything that you do accomplished.

What kind of vacuum do you have? I am in the market for a new one!!

I spy some tea that I recognize ☺️ I'm totally checking our the Date Lady, never heard of that before. An antique tea cart would make a great coffee/tea bar!! 🥰 Where do you keep your mixing bowls and baking dishes?

What a stunning kitchen and that stove that's just beautiful

What camera and editing software do you use for your videos?

You look so much like Scarlett Johansson!

I’m a single empty nester but I can relate a lot to both your physical kitchen and your style. First I recognized a number of the old/antique pieces that you use. Yup, they’re in my kitchen! Also, our style has many similarities. So, I was able to take away some concepts as well as practical and functional ideas. My very small kitchen is mostly original to my over 50 yr old house. I use an antique, crudely made but charming hutch for extra storage. (Did I mention that, although I live alone, I love to cook and entertain friends so I have lots of kitchen ware.) In a deep, narrow cabinet I used cup hooks, top and bottom, and strung clothesline up and down to them to create “dividers “. I store all my trays, shallow pans, muffin tins, cookie sheets, and more, vertically between those dividers. The amount it holds is impressive and I can access every one quickly and easily. No stacking!! The other thing that works really well for deeper cabinets is to use a plastic bin with the smooth side of self stick hook-and-loop tape stuck to the bottom at each corner. The boxes slide easily as if on a gliding rail. Thanks for sharing your ideas. Hope mine work for you or someone else.
