DIY STORAGE IDEAS FOR THE PANTRY | Homestead Kitchen

Today I brought you into the laundry room/pantry to share all four of the storage projects I have done in there. Each was a simple DIY project and quite inexpensive to do.

You are genius with the rolling can rack. I’m so doing that.

[@CosmopolitanCornbread]

Thank you :) Be sure to watch this video, where I share about a couple things I would do differently with that next time I build one. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iWqmqYpnnaxmetU

I love that can rack!!! Congratulations and greetings from Argentina.!

So jello of your canning jar supply! Ava Jane is so pretty...what sweet girl😻

[@jennyjarrett1208]

Our home was completely destroyed from a tornado on August 27 th. We are going to rebuild and I had two large pantries that was just cabinet type. With our new house I want a walk-in pantry so you have definitely gave me good ideas. Especially all the good and bad of the walled can project. I'm sorry you had to have a trail and error project but so glad you shared the proper way to do this. I will definitely be doing this. Thank you. God is Good.

[@CosmopolitanCornbread]

I am so sorry about the loss of your home! My daughter lost her home a few years ago to a hurricane. It was devastating. Trial and error with projects can be frustrating, but most of the wood was able to be saved for other projects. So there wasn’t too much lost, other than time.

[@lyndabuchholz1216]

What wonderful ideas. Gives me ideas on how to store things in my house! thank you for this video!!!!!!

[@joywalski4748]

Wow great storage ideas!

[@staceyjones3261]

My husband built shelving and a can rotator similar to yours. He did add a small piece of trim in front if each shelf of glass jars as a precaution. It wasn’t fancy , but I loved both projects. I have used an old wire coat hanger I untwisted to hold my canning rings. Hang it on a nail like yours.

[@theresaglass1831]

Genius! 🥰👌

[@rosemarywilliams9969]

😱THIS IS Amazing! Thank you so much. Will be doing that behind the door one🤗

[@candacethompson2521]

I love your shelves.And the can holder is genius!!! I'd love to know what's all in those beautiful jars.lol...kitty is a doll

[@nancymcdowell9607]

Love the new "do"

[@kristyadkins5312]

Hello there. I was wondering if I could get a drawing and the measurements of your can rack. Yours is the best one I’ve seen!!

[@janhatchett7834]

Storage is always an issue in our cabin. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@carolynsinyard1306]

I absolutely love your pantry. One of these days I am going to redo my pantry. Have a blessed day.

[@greenlady43]

You have a wonderful pantry! I’m envious of your can storage. More than enough food for the two of you

[@privateprivate8366]

I love custom shelving, although I am an apartment dweller. Very nice job and great utilization of your space.

[@Tinkerbell31326]

I am a new subbie. Glad that youtube suggested you. Love what you did in your laundry room.

[@CosmopolitanCornbread]

Thank you, and welcome!

[@oldtimerlee8820]

Over the door shelving... For those who are not handy with power tools, use the back of the door for shelving systems designed for this purpose. You can also use over the door shoe holders for the same purpose. I have one, in a room that holds office supplies. Another on my pantry door that serves as an oversize spice rack. Many types & styles, just Google over the door storage or over the door shoe rack.

[@paulaedwards8698]

Great video

[@Fg4e]

That looks so nice and we'll planned. Love the behind the door unit. And what a beautiful kitty! Nothing like a lovey furbaby! :)

[@esperanzasustaita9805]

I put in shelving in a closet in the living room and another one in the hall used for linens. I store alot of canning and dehydrated food there. I still need more storage in my kitchen and looking for ways to to do it. I just love all of your projects that you do around the house. Could you give us some ideas on how you find the time to do all that you do, please. I would appreciate it if you made a video. Thanks alot. Glad I found your channel.

[@donnasmith5697]

You did a terrific job! That is one fantastic laundry/pantry room!

[@HoneyHollowHomestead]

Glad you discovered the flaw in the design of that can rack. I wanted to build one as well. I hope the price of lumber comes back down before I'm ready to build it.

[@jennawinkelman8260]

I agree! All my diy plans are on hold until prices go down!

[@HoneyHollowHomestead]

@@jennawinkelman8260 Thankfully, I lot of what I have going on right now involves using free pallets and reclaimed lumber. But, I can only take that so far. Before too long I will need some dimensional lumber.

[@jennawinkelman8260]

@@HoneyHollowHomestead way to use what you have! I reused some wood I found in the shed and copied a spice rack diy that I saw, but I'm out now!

[@lindagailsch]

Love the behind the door idea! My husband just reconfigured an old entertainment center into a shelving unit for my canned food this weekend. I'm loving being able to see all my home canned food on all the shelves. Like u said maybe not the most beautiful but practical & repurposing an item we already had.

[@pattymiles2688]

Good idea! Love the way it’s so organized plus doesn’t interfere with the function of the laundry room

[@deirdredelaughder1060]

Such great storage ideas Constance. Great video, is there anything you can’t do sweet friend. 😁 God bless you and keep you and your family! 🥰

[@CosmopolitanCornbread]

I'm getting lots of questions today about the homemade laundry soap that I make, since the ingredients were seen in today's video. For those that are interested, I have the recipe published on my website here: cosmopolitancornbread.com/laundry-soap/

[@rosiemarsh2071]

Lots of food for thought:) Love your space! Thank you!

[@lorijustice4073]

Love your shelves and how you use all the space available!

[@CosmopolitanCornbread]

Thank you!! 😊

[@oldtimerlee8820]

Keep some extra canning rings if you decide to vacuum seal dehydrated foods in mason jars. Taking the rings off is standard practice in canning. When vacuum sealing dry foods, leave the rings on the jars. If the seal breaks for some reason, the lid will keep the ring in place. Dry/dehydrated foods don't spoil like jars canned foods with moisture. A few extra rings are good for other things, as well. They can serve as a canning rack in the bottom of a large stock pot for example when waterbath canning. They make great molds when canning meat patties. (Place a ring on a plate, right side up. Lightly press hamburger into the ring, until it's full. Lift off the ring for a patty that'll fit the jar. Ready to be browned for canning. One more.... Over time rings will become damaged and/or develop rust. Keep extra stash to replace those, as needed. Just some thoughts as you may already be doing these.

[@CosmopolitanCornbread]

Great tips!

[@theresas709]

I really enjoyed seeing your pantry :)

[@stephanienuce7711]

I love this SO MUCH!!! GREAT JOB my friend !!!

[@MinnieAcresFarm]

I'm also all about practical ideas and using space wisely. I have been wondering how I could use some space in my laundry room and you have given me great ideas for shelving options!

[@hickoryhillinthebigwoods-r759]

This speaks to my homestead heart. We plan to move next year and I am on the look out for places with potential for storage. When we bought our current home, we had double ovens. Those were pulled out and my husband built shelves that were measured for perfect height for canning jars.

[@denisepohanke9060]

Awesome, thank you for sharing!

[@loselydo]

Great video and a wonderful use of space!

[@lovebug1891]

Thank you so much for sharing you have given me some great ideas for my laundry room because it is also my storage room like yours and I was trying to think of ways to utilize all that space because it is a big laundry room I have all this extra space and I need it for storage so great ideas thank you so much for sharing you have a very blessed day

[@glendabyford8074]

Love your pantry!!!!!

[@cherylparkins6476]

God job,, you are so handy. Thank you

[@lanabisson2675]

I love how you used all the nooks and crannies. I did something similar behind our door but instead I used it as a large lid rack using framing the area on the wall behind the door and using yardsticks that I painted white. the lids for my pots and pans sit easy reach behind my kitchen door near stove. no more bending and digging in a dark cabinent. you really dont notice it because the interior kitchen door stays open all the time. (old house built 1889-has door on every room)

[@jeanettewilkinson6362]

Love watching your vlogs as always

[@vestimisner6376]

Fels Naptha I love that laundry soap! I think I need to borrow your behind the door shelving Idea. It is just dead space which with all prepping I've done, I really need the storage. we have a little house 25x35 so space is essential

[@copperhousefarm4794]

You did an amazing job!

[@BrattyPatriot]

Nice job. Pls post your laundry soap recipe pls, I saw you making it in another video but no recipe, thks.

[@CosmopolitanCornbread]

I have the recipe on my website. I posted the link in the first, pinned comment under the video :)

[@MGMissy]

I have all the Borax too :)

[@jillbritton2676]

We put a lip on the bottom of each shelf just to make sure nothing slid off. My cats like to jump up on the shelves and I was worried they would knock jars off. It’s only about a half inch tall.

[@kathischoonover5436]

Your shelving looks good your very creative. Do you happen to have a recipe for succotash?

[@CosmopolitanCornbread]

I have never made that, I’m afraid.

[@kathischoonover5436]

@@CosmopolitanCornbread it's delicious

[@danamarie4847]

Another great video!...on how to make shelves and wooden sleeves for cans. What is the name of the dehydrated sugar you use? Where can I get it? Would like to try it in baked goods.

[@CosmopolitanCornbread]

Thank you 😊 it is called sucanat. I ordered it through Bread Beckers, but there are many places that carry it.

[@danamarie4847]

@@CosmopolitanCornbread Thank you for sharing the name of the sugar you mentioned and the place you purchase it

[@stokely418]

Wow, Constance, everything looks so nice and organized!! You are so smart. I do have a question. How do you use the unprocessed dehydrated sugar?

[@CosmopolitanCornbread]

I use in in baking. Most often when baking my homemade bread, in place of the honey.

[@stokely418]

@@CosmopolitanCornbread Sounds good! I never heard of it before.

[@janetsways4176]

Hmmm I think I may be able to get one of those can storage shelves on either side of my existing shelves. Great idea! BTW why do you wrap plastic on the Arm&Hammer?

[@CosmopolitanCornbread]

I actually ordered it because I couldn’t find it in any of my local stores. It came that way, and I just left it on there :)

[@donnarichey144]

I see you have borax powder, my husband won't let me use it or any powder, it clogs your lines, it can go into big balls. He did lines for people and that is what he found. You are so smart with your cans making the place to have them roll out.

[@CosmopolitanCornbread]

I only use Borax to make my liquid laundry soap.

[@terrisylvester7870]

Does the heat from the dryer mess with your canning

[@CosmopolitanCornbread]

Not at all. I use the clothes line a lot, and in the winter this room stays very cool. So even when the dryer gets run more, it doesn’t get warm in there.

[@meganrigby5970]

How deep are the shelves for your canned goods?

[@CosmopolitanCornbread]

The new set that I just put in, is 18 inches. The other set is 16.

[@Garden_sunshine]

Thank you SO much for this inspiring video! I plan to duplicate your can rack! Yes!!! Looking forward to it. I have one question because I want to store my canned goods in my laundry room & build shelving just like this as well. Do you think it will be safe storage wise for my jars since my laundry room (not sure about yours?) gets pretty warm? I really want to utilize my laundry room. 🧡 So grateful for you!

[@CosmopolitanCornbread]

Home canned goods are better in a cooler spot. Our laundry room never gets very warm. I use the clothes line a lot in the summer, and in the winter, our laundry room stays very chilly. I would definitely use the space for storage, but maybe not the jars if it gets really warm.

[@Garden_sunshine]

@@CosmopolitanCornbread Thank you! Good point about the clothesline outside. I’m trying to utilize every unused square inch in our home to store our canned goods. Recently started canning & am obsessed. 😅🧡 Have a wonderful day! Blessings to you.

[@tericarter2512]

How deep are your shelves and what are the dimensions of your room?

[@CosmopolitanCornbread]

I don’t recall the dimensions of the room. (We sold that house last year.) But I believe the shelves were 2 feet deep. I did another video where I show in a little more detail how I built these. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iWqmqYpnnaxmetUsi=IgO3Y4L-c5lfgq6L
