SMALL PANTRY ORGANIZATION | Organize + Clean With Me 2020 

Carissa I’ve been struggling with depression and my room got so messy. I watched a few of your videos and got motivated to do something about it! Thank you for inspiring on our bad days ❤️❤️

Loved how the storage bins weren't matchy matchy!! Too many of the RU-vidrs get carried away by expensive storage. Use what you have, get what you need and get it done!! Awesome job Carissa 💕

Love that you included the stinky potatoes. That's real life! I've been loving your videos over the last few weeks since discovering your channel.

I have the wood crates in the bottom of my pantry and I put wheels on the bottom to make it easy to pull out and it wouldn’t scratch my floor

BTW don’t put potatoes and onions together. The onions will make the potatoes go bad. Weird I know cuz they are together at the store.

Some might be shocked or grossed out by the potatoes. I think it makes you that much more relatable 😂

You’re a DIY home renovator, an amazing mom, an awesome videographer, a beautiful wife!?! How do you do it!

I really appreciate her showing us all the grossest parts of her house. Because if you live with people and work then it can be like this sometimes. This is real life and I love this. So motivating.

It's nice to know that I'm not the only one who's pantry gets like this once and awhile..

This is the most realistic and functional AND aesthetic pantry makeover I've ever seen. I literally plan to steal all of these ideas! We dont have a real pantry in our duplex so we are using a shelf system that blends best and this is the perfect inspo size to base it off of! Your videos are so helpful and honestly make me excited to make our home without unrealistic expectations or compromises.

Hahahahaha I was in the middle of organizing mine and got suuuuuper overwhelmed. So I sat down and turned this on. I have the same style pantry and a big family! It’s hard lol.

OMG potatoes rotting is one of the worst smells in the world! We had the exact same thing happen to us one time...couldn't figure out where the smell was coming from, until i found the few potatoes that had rolled behind the giant bin of dog food on the floor of the pantry. The bin was always full and very heavy, so we rarely moved it...LORD HAVE MERCY the stink! LOL Another time, a package of pork ribs had slipped out of a grocery bag and under a blanket in the trunk of my car for a few weeks. That was worse LOL

OMG I would kill to have a pantry! But I must say, my cupboards are fantastically organized!

“Sketti” love it 😂 That final reveal made me so satisfied!! Keep the videos coming Carissa! Love them!

Great job on making over a real, working pantry. I also had the fruit fly problem and it took me 2 weeks to track them back to rotten potatoes as well! A tip on topping up containers, take out what you have, put new food in the container (eg, dried pasta), then put the older stuff back on top. It just means you don't end up with the same 2 year old food at the bottom.

The forgotten potatoes feels hella relatable

I loved how it came out, it’s so comfortable for the eyes to see. Keep on making these types of videos they are so nice I love organizing and having some extra ideas from other people❤️ Love your channel

i love those containers from walmart! the large and small ones completely changed the functionality and aesthetic of our pantry! great video, thanks for sharing!

Early Squad!! Love the products you used! Especially the jars!

I need to mouse proof my pantry. I’m glad you’re so real with the fruit fly findings.

Great job. Love how honest you are about your processes.

Yes I love these videos! Even though my house doesn't even have a pantry 🤷‍♀️🤦‍♀️ i don't know what they were thinking back in 1975 when they built my house. 😆🤣🤣

I love how real this is. i also love the fact that you actully showed the forgotten potatoes

I use up the leftovers first, then use what is in the containers. Line fruit & vegetable containers with greaseproof paper in case of spoilage.

Ha! “Dressed for adventure..” Love your personality- subscribed immediately. 🤗 I have a brand new pantry, which is why I was looking for “normal people” pantry organization videos and came across your channel. I think I had seen some of your videos before, though.

I never go to Aldi, but I love those white bins you used! They seem so handy to pull out!

Love all your organization inspiration, Carissa! Loved the bonus video, thank you!

“... and Mommy’s snack....” 😂 Amen, sista!

Omg love your channel and your videos!❤❤❤❤

Here we go again ... Carissa does her magic ✨... Another amazing video .. I love you content... the way u manage to be an amazing youtuber / organizer / videographer / editor / mom of 2 / a wife astonishes me !💕😍

Amei a organização!!!!! LOVE THE ORGANIZATION

Nice job!! Great ideas.... I will be reorganizing my pantry soon and this was a great video for inspiration ❤️

Gosh, girl... #pantrygoals!! ♥️ I wish we had shelves like this! Ours are just these wire bins in a vertical frame that pull out, which are convenient at times, but also not at others. Your refresh looks fab! (Edited to add: “Mommy’s snacks...... 🤣)

With potatoes that have sprouts/shoots on them, dump them in soil either in a container or just in a spare bit of garden, you’ll have beautiful fresh grown pot at in no time, I’m always doing it. Love the pantry x

Love 💘 the new and improved pantry. I would have picked the rotten potato up just like you did. 😊. The music 🎶 was soothing 😌

Girl. Y do u be so chill and zen.

My only advice is when you put all the snacks in the containers make sure you write the expiration date so you know that they’re still good to eat :)

"Dressed for adventure!!" I'm new to your channel and love it already!

The potato incident has happened to me more than once. Those little suckers are the ultimate hide n seek champions.

Its crazy, it gives me motivation to clean even if I hate that, thanks ❤️

Thank you for your video! I enjoyed the background music😊

Very nice pantry containers.thanx for the ideas.very smart

This is a obtainable pantry organization video. Thank you!

Looks great! Greetings from Greece!! 🇬🇷😊

lol covered in crumbs seems to be the most popular thing people with children all have in common

Literally what I needed right now

i currently have potatoes in my pantry too and this is nice to know that I'm not alone. Just found your channel tonight, gonna subscribe! :3

Thank you for being real with the rotten potato thing I hate when people try and hide the real deal mess. Thanks for capturing this now I feel like I can do this.

Turned out so great!

You did a great job keeping it simple

As always... love it!

Wow well organize everything is neat and nice.

A few months ago a watched a bunch of videos like this one of pantries getting make overs so it inspired me to do mine. So I can proudly say my pantry is in tip top shape lol thanks to utube 😂😂

Finally a realistic small pantry organization!

I liked my pantry, until I saw this one, lol. Ours is a bit deeper than yours and I think we have an extra shelf way up top that I store paper goods, like paper plates, napkins we rarely use, plastic cutlery and plastic cups, we only use them for company. I’m thinking of selling all of it or giving it away. We rarely have company come over anymore, I could use the space for counter top appliances we don’t use every day. Thanks for the inspiration! I will start tomorrow maybe.

I live for your vids!!! You inspire me to DIY.

I use clothes pins to close up chips etc. Looks great

I wish our house is like yoursits SO organizedddd and your hardworking

mac & noods lol..Idk why that made me laugh lol

Ugh! Rotten potatoes smell awful! We had some roll behind the coffee machine once. I kept telling my husband that the smell was coming from there. He didn't believe me, because he said he cleaned behind it. I finally took everything off the counter, found the potatoes, and cleaned behind his precious coffee pot! 🤣🤣 He was absolutely amazed that I had been right!

Thank you for doing a pantry that is the same size of ours. A lot of people have big pantries and the organization is not as realistic for us. Our tiny kitchen only has 8 single door cabinets so I have to be creative in how we store everything.

I really liked and enjoyed your video, well all of your videos. Thank you for the inspiration. Take care

For things like the pancake mix etc. the best thing to do would be to cut out the instruction from the box it came in and then paste it on the container.

For the Walmart containers, I would put the label on the lid so you can see what you have behind the others at a glance.

Man I appreciate the potato goo lol you make it feel okay to be normal ❤️❤️

loved watching the video & it gave me motivation, have to say though, I am LOVING the dark feature wall to the right of the pantry. looks incredible. Keelie in the UK (sorry it lists me under my hubby's name)

Great job!

They have those clear containers with the white tops at Dollar tree I have some 🥰

Love it!

1st time soo early... excited to watch this video

I... I also found forgotten potatoes in our cupboard earlier today, and yeah, it was the fruit flies that alerted me to the situation! This made me feel better, because I felt really gross and like a bad person for it, but if someone who has their life together can forget potatoes too, then I’m good!

We live in a 98 year old farm house they removed the pantry and made the bedroom bigger and they built a huge spice cabinet in the kitchen I wish I had the pantry

“Another potato incident” sooo relatable 🤣🤣🤣

Ahhh now I want to organize my pantry! 😂

I had the same containers with the plastic lock. They ALL broke. Highly recommend buying systerna containers from Home Goods or the Made by Design containers at Target

I'm just here for the Mac/noods label.

Great pantry. Only thing I would change on the lids of the containers with your dry ingredients you should put the labels on top so you know what's behind them.

I have those exact clear containers and that exact label maker 😀

Your videos are SO inspiring. I catch myself looking for things to organize when I watch you. Just a heads up, those clear containers from ikea absolutely explode if you drop them! Don't ask me how I know 🥴

I like it!

Me when I see a new video has posted: Oh hell yeah!

I use the same embossing label maker--I like the look of the labels SO much more than the digital printout ones. I used it for all of the kitchen cabinet organization I just did and it looks great! I don't have a pantry sadly

👍👍👍 V e r y n i c e 👍👍👍

I recently cleaned up the pantry and found the potatoes had the same situation as yours. It shocked me. Haha... HelloFresh isn’t that cheap unless you got the 80% off coupons. We have tried many times and it was good. I personally would recommend it cuz the food are fresh, clean with individual wrapped and it comes with full receipts. I kept couple of receipts cuz they are my favorites and easy cook in a limited time. We usually order the 2 person portion meals for 4 people and add some extra veggies on it. Order 4 person portion is too expensive. It is just my thoughts.

I bought some of those organizers at Aldi's yesterday too!!

My pantry is very organized, That’s because I have everything in containers and on wire racks in laundry room a cut out closet kind of like next to washer/ dryer and along wall as you go in laundry room. Dry Beans, pasta and rice on first wire rack Then my pots and pans which I do not stack. Plus vita mix, Food processor Stuff like that.. Next to dryers the cut out closet has canned stuff. Canned beans ( not the green beans). Tomatoes, sauce And vegetables. In my small kitchen which is like a galley kitchen has a pantry with double doors but, Weird how it’s done. I keep condiments, baking stuff, a few not much snack stuff. Cereal. Not a huge space but works, Small cabinet next to stove Is the condiments for tuna salad and chicken salad sandwich. Olives and mushrooms Like I said it’s not huge by no means but works when organized. I buy stuff I can make meals with. Don’t eat many snack stuff. Have my deep freezer not huge and smaller up right freezer. I love junk food stuff like that but, the way it’s going price wise we’ll, I figure if I really want snacks I can make stuff. I stock up on food for meals. Snacks I can make because I do have baking items. For the holidays and for when ever. I basically love organizing my home. I’m always looking for ways to organize better.

Consider putting your overflow up top and the common use items in that spot? For easier access! LOVE your channel xoxo

My pantry gets a reorder monthly - it’s just a 24” cabinet style with 3 shelves and a pullout drawer. I don’t really use bins or anything; not enough room. To be honest, a quarter of our pantry goods usually sit on the counter. ☹️ I sort thru it monthly to remind myself what’s in there, and hopefully find room for the countertop items. 🤦🏽‍♀️

Do you recommend always washing and drying your storage containers before filling them with cereal, snacks, etc.?

What the heck.... your videos are awesome!!

Cool 😍😍❤

Oh carissa be careful with your overflow bin so that the screws don't scratch your shelves... maybe sink them? Loved your organization tips😊

I love videos ❤️❤️❤️

Would suggest professional labels you can order, including ones that go onto baskets :)

My house might be weird, but in our "pantry" (if you can even call it that) doesn't have a door, and it is kinda a walk in?- we have cabnets in there (high and low) and a singular shelf in there, and then there are a lot of hooks under the sheld (the shelf is high up) but the house me and my family live in is over 100 years old-

What I vacuum do you have? I love it. Great job

Can I ask a question when do you ever sit down and relax

Your not weird I'm eleven and am looking for ideas on what I should buy to organize my family

I have no pantry. So I’m using a bookcase and drawers for storing pantry items.

The potatos remind me of the halloween pumpkins that i forgot in a bag and found litterally month after, ugh... I though my cat had peed in the pantry.
