Here are 8 easy strategies to get your pantry organized like Lina’s.
I am really digging the water bottle organizers. I get ALOT of coffee cups and this will really help.
I’m loving those too! 🙌
Love the water bottle holder! For my spice cupboard I bought this shelf organizer thing years ago that sort of looks like steps and it’s been the best thing. You can see the stuff in the back (top step) and middle with just a glance and it was super cheap. I like using those McCormick grinders so using a typical spice rack isn’t really ideal.
Awesome. Glad that option has been helpful in organizing your spices! Thanks for sharing with us!
Take a look at dollar tree, there’s lots of bins and trays, if you don’t mind fun colors hidden in your cabinets.
Thanks for the helpful suggestion, Lisa! I do have some of the Dollar Tree bins in my kitchen for organization. 🙌
I like the magazine racks for produce but have to keep onions away from fruit and potatoes bc it makes them spoil faster
Why would anybody have that many water bottles? I am lucky if we have two bottles in the whole house. LOL
My brothers are going to try to make me a behind the door pantry storage. We have so much wood in the shop they think they can make it from scrap wood and then paint it with leftover paint. I can’t wait to see how it works. Thank you.
Let us know how it turns out. Would love to see pics when finished.
I’m guessing a lot of kids in a lot of sports because that’s a lot of bottles!
I have a insulated bottle obsession lol. Yes overkill but I have a ton. We have a shop also and my fil does scrap projects. Hope it turns out great!
I have one of those old metal fridge containers from the 40’s or 30’s with a lid. I put the container on the lid and put all my gravy mixes etc in under the toaster oven (under the cabinet). I also have an old wooden seed packet box that I keep some of my packet mixes in too like beef stew mix etc. Love them. I have an old ice bucket that holds coffee filters in them. Love it.
That sounds like a great plan, Patricia!
Marie Kondo would not be happy with the two cabinet-fulls of water bottles. Extremely excessive 😉
But they bring us joy….lol! You’re totally right, Jen S! 😉
As I posted the other day, I got something very similar to spice racks posted, but what I got was actually cheaper. Vertical Spice has 3-rack combo for $93.35, where the one listed above is $67.99 per rack. It is seriously well made and has amazing reviews on Amazon (just search for “vertical spice”)

Another idea for organizing your water bottles is to use a pretty wine bottle rack. I have been using my wine rack for the larger water bottles.
That’s so true! I love using wine bottle racks to store items!
Great idea! We have those modular wooden wine racks out in the garage gathering dust.
