EXTREME PANTRY MAKEOVER ON A BUDGET! No-Bin Method for food storage + organization | HOUSE TO HOME

[@agd881]

The conservative mentality when it comes to consumerism is such a refreshing and underrated mentality. I absolutely 100% believe that you must (re)use everything you have before you buy. And the whole buy bins for each category is ridiculous. So much plastic which people are waiting to toss only until the next trend comes up. Love that you just kept things simple and laid out. Lesser anxiety. Love your content Natalie.

[@LJCasey-sd4eu]

Amen girl!!!!

[@tabitha9890]

Agree 💯

[@feildhockeyfeildhockey5676]

hey wonderful person reading this commen! hope you have a wonderful day stay safe :)

[@grammytammy3535]

Fully functional is so much more important to me than "Pinterest-worthy." 👍👍

[@alcl592]

Yesssss!! Why care about things being pinterest worthy? 🙃

[@laurenmanley4616]

Natalie...I absolutely love how you always talk about how grateful you are for the things you have and ability to do what you need to. Gratitude is such an unbelievable thing to share, as our economy has so much consumerism, advertising and "keeping up with the Joneses" mentality. Don't you feel like you have so much more when you recognize your blessings...big and small? I know I do! Thanks for a great video and sharing your positivity with us! 🥰

[@robininva]

Very nicely done. As an older mom/grandma…who loves (and always has) organization….bravo! Some spaces are AOK to make Pinterest-worthy….others…are just for us to use functionally. I love that you let yourself be who you are and what works for your family. Again…bravo!

[@Youknowitsjenn]

We saved our old fridge, when we upgraded, for being our “basement beverage and back-up” fridge and it’s SUCH a game changer. No more cluttered fridge with unnecessary amounts of beverages or extra butter!

[@thewadsquad]

Aaaaaamazing! Every bit of it! You knocked it our of the park! It looks fantastic! 🎉🎉

[@NatalieBennett]

Thank you, my friend! Embracing the chaos has really helped!

[@blaireshoe8738]

I love how you've organized the dry pantry too, but that extra fridge/freezer is *chef's kiss* exquisite. In my house we have a lot of freezer space, but not so much fridge space. You would be surprised the amount of things you wouldn't think of freezing that can indeed be frozen. Butter is one that seems to last forever frozen, so we stock up when it's on sale. We keep one stick on the counter, one box in the fridge, and the rest in the freezer. Similarly for shredded cheeses, we buy them in 5lb+ bags, separate them into 2-3cup bags, stick one of each flavor in the fridge and the rest in the freezer. It really is a blessing to have extra frozen pantry space.

[@sarahedgar8812]

Thank you for the encouraging reminder about the age of your children. Watching while feeding my youngest, a newborn. So I'm definitely in the thick of it. Cherishing these moments but also looking forward to doing house projects again someday !

[@pathtowellnesswithmiriam1371]

I loved this pantry makeover! It turned out how I would want my pantry to be. I prefer stuff stocked like a store instead of a bunch of cute bins. You can fit so much more. Bins are good if you have a lot of loose stuff but not needed for boxes and cans.

[@karendurfey749]

I encourage you to up your staying power and LABEL your SHELVES!!! All that is necessary is general categories but SO helpful. That will keep your whole team (family) in the game as far as what goes where. And trust me seriously helps with the foggy mom brain as more time passes and you think..."where does this live?"

[@mycreativeheart4159]

I did something very similar. I live in an apartment style condo... so storage space is minimal. I took the hall coat closet, which is right beside the kitchen... and turned it into a pantry with this style of shelving. I reused my "Adams Natural Peanut Butter" glass jars to store all my loose bulk foods... things like oatmeal, quinoa, shredded coconut, and cocoa. Now I also have room to store kitchen appliances, so my counters are not cluttered... and there is even room for a recycling station and vacuum storage. My life works so much better... lol!

[@fowlerfamilyhomestead3389]

There isn't a lot more things that gratifies than a well stocked pantry! Well, maybe when you have canned from your own garden and stocked that way! Cant wait to see your pantry with some of THAT! In the times we are living in with prices going up its such a good idea to stock up when you can! Looks great Natalie!

[@Joy_Mission]

Your second fridge is your Costco fridge! Great idea! I personally have had to very strategically shop Costco because of the large quantities. I think a second fridge may be the only way to make the most of the deals there. Thanks for sharing your life in a humble, helpful & encouraging way.

[@rachelemazza8623]

I have 3 children myself - all grown now, like you I loved every bit of the expansion creativity in building a family and home. I can tell you that when they start to leave the nest you will also love the downsizing and rebuilding for smaller as well. You have that love for life, for everything around you - chickens included!! And what also tugs at my heart is grandma's table ! 💜

[@SweeeetLovex3]

I absolutely love your functionality over pinterest-worthy approach - which it should be in the first place because first and foremost we all live in the space and use stuff. x)

[@ariyaelle]

Having the space and functionality is worth it! It’s great to see you were able to make a space that didn’t seem like a lot of space turn into so much storage!

[@handgemacht_backblog5381]

Love the way you did this project. Who needs 30 new plastic containers, just for the look?! Love how you reuse everything you already have. Lots of love from Germany 💕

[@traceybradshaw]

Great video Natalie - thanks so much for sharing a realistic, achievable pantry system that is so much more about function and less about everything looking Pinterest/Insta perfect and coordinated. I have had big pantries, small pantries, even no pantry over the years, but we always make it work for us. We are so thankful to be able to afford to keep a fully stocked pantry and freezers. I was just talking to someone today about some difficult times we went through when our children (now young adults) were babies. We ate well on a very tight budget but there wasn’t much left in the kitty for stocking up. When the supermarkets here (Australia) were bare during covid hoarding and shortages, we never ran short of the things we needed and never had a need to panic buy. It was actually a blessing to be able to avoid the stores during those crazy days. I’m loving your renovation journey- we have been very slowly renovating/updating our whole house and hope to have it almost done by the end of this year. We don’t have much time for DIY so it’s been a matter of saving up for the major spaces like bathrooms, kitchen and laundry. I am so excited that we are finally about to replace all of our flooring - not so excited about having to move everything out so it can be done though!

[@JoJo-ul4qs]

You might want to put a curtain on the pantry window so the light is not hitting the food or other items but you can still open the window when you are in there

[@valerieh8526]

That LG is my favorite! We’ve had the white model for 15 years and I couldn’t be happier. The best part: Instead of a slide drawer door on the freezer, ours is a swing door with an interior sliding drawer on the bottom and fixed shelf on top. It’s so much easier to get to things and I find that I don’t have to keep the food items as ‘flat’ since I can open the door rather than it needing to slide. 😍

[@paty5301]

I placed my potatoes in a burlap bag, then in a container away from any light or sunlight. To my surprise they have lasted a longer time than the usual days. You could always change the gray brackets for the white ones. For example, to the bottom shelf of the opposite side. I hope this helps you!

[@LJCasey-sd4eu]

You are a beast girl!!!!!! 💪🏻 I love that you can use all of the tools by yourself!!!! 🥳🥳🥳 You did an INCREDIBLE job, Miss Natalie! 💖🙏

[@sinjimuih1]

It’s a good feeling to have your own stock pile in your home. I’m so happy you’re sharing this with others so we don’t need to panic buy.

[@olliepop9601]

I agree! You didn't need all the pinterest- worthy bins and baskets to make it work. its still looks great and I am glad its functioning for you!💛 Love you Natalie!

[@christiana_mandalynn]

This is so inspiring!! Our pantry has needed a huge overhaul/ declutter for about 6-8 months 😬 I’ve been avoiding it, but after seeing this, I feel encouraged to tackle it tomorrow morning with vigor and determination. I may have to switch to a no-bin system. When we moved into this house 3 years ago, I got several $1 bins from the Dollar Tree (the bright hues were annoying, but oh well) and I have found that the bin system is so hard to keep inventory of what you have. I do love the can roller that I have, but there is so much in my pantry that needs to be purged and reorganized. And Hallelujah on the back-up inventory for emergencies and shopping in bulk to save money!! Doing that has been such a huge blessing for us. And for me to not stress about our grocery quantity when I need to take an impromptu meal to a family in need. 💛 I would love a second fridge. We bought a deep freezer about 6 years ago and it helped us so much to extend the life of food by freezing it, and buying frozen bulk at Costco that would have never fit in our standing freezer drawer. We’ve adopted much more of a “homesteader” lifestyle, only going to the grocery stores a couple times a month, so I plan all our meals and groceries for the month at a time. It helps when you already have basics on hand to use at any time! (Eg. Rice, spaghetti sauce, seasoning, etc)

[@brittanykeith9561]

Love how little disappointments that make us sometimes feel like things just don't seem to always work out...are really Jesus making a better situation to fulfill a need 😍😍

[@samanthajean237]

We recently moved and our household went from 5 to 7. I’m struggling with our pantry space to efficiently make the best use of it. Thank you for a bit of inspiration!

[@randijohnson3806]

Whenever I get a full pantry after a run to Sam's (I go maybe every 3-4 months) I always feel overwhelmed with abundance. Last summer after picking up a bunch of snack type foods, I prayed there would be opportunity share it, specifically for any kids who might need it. We live an hour from the closes Sam's 90 from the nearest Costco, and 20-30 minutes from most grocery/Walmart. In rural Iowa we can have just about any kind of weather, so having a stock of food/goods is super important. Now that gas costs are rising, even more so.

[@nslilpandagirl]

I like no bin really. Or boxes and repacking some stuff not bad at all. Love it soo much so amazing!!!

[@designyourfoodspace]

I love how much you do by yourself. It’s not that I think women can’t do it (because they can) but I lack confidence in doing it myself with two littles running around, not wanting to mess it up and all the other false truths I tell myself. I can’t tell you how many things I need hung up that are just piling up in my closets because when hubby gets a free minute he wants (and deserves) a break. Thank you for helping me tell those false truths to move along!

[@eydiegarcelon8889]

Natalie..... your pantry is fabulous!!! You say it's not Pinterest Worthy.... BUT..... this is what most people have, this is what works for most of us! This is why we love you and follow you here....... this is OUR life too! Hugs from Northern Minnesota!

[@aimtok]

We moved not long ago to a larger house and our pantry is bigger here. So it totally makes sense to stock up and have your go-to items in stock in your pantry. But our last home was smaller and we really only had room for 1 or 2 of each item. So it wasn’t great for us to stock up because we couldn’t see what we had and wasted things. I love your new shelves and they totally maximize your space and make it so you can see everything. Pantry goals :-)

[@sharonsomers5513]

The pantry makeover turned out great. It’s really good to have a stock pile with the way things are. I am trying to stock up more. I definitely need to get more.

[@susieadams1553]

[@melindaedgington9925]

I love that you have a door in your laundry to the outside. So practical.

[@jarhead5974]

Natalie I commend you for your wonderful way of organizing your pantry. I LOVED that you did not use bins or baskets to arrange your items. Using bins or baskets takes up the space that you can just put the items on the shelf and display. This way all is visible and easy to get to. Your way IS Pinterest worthy. Good job doing it your way and not what everyone else is doing,. Arlene

[@susieadams1553]

Thanks

[@charliecat654]

Isn't it wonderful? I love my open shelves walk in pantry. I As you said, it's nice to be able to see what you have as opposed to deep dark shelves. For years, I wasted a lot of money buying what I already had, way back in the corner, sitting there past it's expiration date. Congrats on your pantry/storage system! 👍

[@lizzymiller5894]

I really appreciated this video, I’m struggling with building my pantry without being excessive, so I really loved your encouragement that it looks different for everyone in different life stages 💗

[@shortypShortyp]

Wow! It turned out great! I love that you kept it open so that you could easily see what you have and what you need. You did a great job! So excited to see the second part of your kitchen reno!

[@stephanieauker1106]

I've used that system for my closets for over 20 years. And .. just an FYI? I've been using the same pieces for the 20 years and through 3 homes lol. They are a great value and do ridiculously well.

[@patriciacaceres3167]

You go girl!! NO fuzz, excellent results!!!! And no need to go buying stuff!!! CONGRATS!

[@annw1395]

You exponentially increased the amount of storage in this pantry!! I'm so impressed, too, that you installed the shelves yourself! I love the shelves up high and over the door! You might keep your extra flour in the freezer to keep it from getting rancid and to kill any buggies. And who needs Pinterest? I'm all about function!

[@dani37912]

I love this!! So realistic. I’m tired of seeing perfect pantries and refrigerators!!! Maybe it would be helpful if you switched the hinge to the other side on the new fridge so it opens toward the other door! Just a thought. Love it.

[@isabellaross1472]

I find it very refreshing you didn’t use all kinds of baskets and containers. People have gone a little container crazy lately 🤪 thanks for keeping it real Natalie!

[@janeweldon8874]

Great pantry job! It’s so satisfying when everything has its own place! ❤️

[@Adrianne.215]

Love explaining back stock and supplying what works for your family. I always felt the pressure to have back up “just in case” and it became wasteful. Now I’ve learned more what works for our family of three. We can never have enough blueberries or chicken broth. My little one goes through a carton of blueberries every few days, can’t complain, it’s fruit!

[@NatalieBennett]

Having stock on hand isn’t wasteful unless it’s actually going to waste! And like you said that’s going to be different for every family and season of life. ♥️

[@yahyeet4383]

My kids are the same with blueberries. They freeze really well

[@stelladilondra]

Wow! This has turned out fantastic!! I will have a pantry in my basement with shelving like ours and some kitchen pantry space. You definitely have me great ideas thank you ❤️❤️ say hi to the kids, with love from us in Italy

[@abbyroy2255]

I have two babies, two and under. I love this sweet baby stage right now that we are in, but yes, can't wait for them to go run and get things for me when they can understand what I'm asking. 🤣

[@livancarr5321]

Enjoyed the video of your pantry reorganization. Now that everything is in one spot it would be a good idea to take a picture of the area before heading to the grocery and also one of inside your refrigerators so you could refer to it when shopping. Thank you for sharing your great ideas.

[@heathersolos]

Thank you so much for linking to my blog post on Home-Ec101. I wrote that post so long ago that I had forgotten all about it. Your video is excellent and I hope the pantry makeover serves your family well for a long time. With now six kids living at home, our current version of stocked up is... a lot. In 2007, I only had three kids.

[@maryssaann]

I have going through our pantry, organizing, labeling and cleaning up our space cabinet with new canisters and labels on my to do list this weekend! Our pantry is horrible but I do what I can with what I have and save jars from sauces we buy to use as storage for things. Always a work in progress but organizing and labeling makes clean up and rearranging ten times easier! Love how it all turned out for you ❤️❤️

[@katiedeckereats]

Your content lately has been so fascinating to watch and super enjoyable-great job!! Also love seeing your independence in projects 💪🏻

[@psymompa]

Love a great working pantry. I definitely think it is Instagram worthy. Plus I love that you didn't buy a ton of plastic. Thanks for sharing.

[@rebeccaorin328]

Great makeover! One important suggestion is to make the fire extinguisher more available out front or actually in the kitchen. I had a grease fire many years ago and I’m so thankful it was handy. The smoke damage was very expensive but the kitchen was saved quickly and we were safe.

[@NatalieBennett]

This is only one of five fire extinguishers we have in our home and property! This one is for any fires that may occur with our hot water heater furnace or clothing dryer. But we do have one in our kitchen with easy access to the oven. 🙂

[@lindsaykjoy]

I can tell how excited you are for this refreshed space and how well it will serve your family! Thank you for sharing what you do and why; it’s an encouragement to many of us 😊 watching your hard work with the power tools and such made me think of Mary Bailey in “It’s a wonderful life”, making a wonderful home for her family ❤️ and when you put up the extra shelves above and beyond the door, it reminded me of the setup of the pantry in your previous house 😊

[@co7314]

That 3rd shelf from the bottom, the one that is short to allow access to the electrical panel... I'm itching to round off that corner. I feel like I would injure myself in that corner immediately. But that's my issue(I have many, LOL)... and I have to say that this pantry is so inspiring!!!

[@astridteeuw2374]

We had the same system of shelves in an under the stair closet, using it as a pantry. Worked wonderfully for many years.

[@deedeebolden]

I love how your pantry turned out! Definitely looks very functional. After the big ice storm here in Texas last February, and the rising prices, I’ve been trying to get a few extra things here and there, just in case. It’s not a bad thing to have a plan and prepare. Natural disasters, job loss, sickness, etc. happens, being prepared makes it less stressful.

[@traille4901]

This is inspiring - I appreciate your attitude. Some people seem to go over the top. Even though I'm a person living on my own, I try to stock up (within reason) on items when they're on sale. It makes my dollar go farther and I feel more prepared and calm. I'm new to your channel but feel I can learn a lot from you. Thank you! 🌷

[@lornasheets8447]

I love this so much! It’s so practical and useful while being organized without tons of bins! 😍

[@jodytigges1830]

I loved this video. I love that you are willing to try things you have on hand instead of rushing out to buy all new. I agree that pantry stocking is personal to each person or family. I like that you used every inch of space you had. Often times I too need to just live with something awhile before I can really tell if it works or doesn’t. I’m glad that your pantry and second fridge work well for you and your space.

[@jeannerolig6042]

Very nice redesign of this space, Natalie! I am a family of one, and you have given me a couple of suggestions that I can implement in my pantry, for stocking up a bit. A thought: I do wonder whether your new fridge's handle is designed that it can be either left or right opening. It looks like reversing its direction (into the room instead of into the door) would be more convenient for its use. I love that your house becomes more a home with each project!

[@NatalieBennett]

We’ve chosen to keep the door opening this way because they can open extra wide! If we switch the door opening it would run into the back door of the pantry and make it even more difficult to get into!

[@DumbVampire]

I subscribed when I heard you talk about your food budget and buying a little more each time.. It spoke to how we live too!

[@amandabrinson5868]

I agree with changing the fridge handle to the other side. Fridge should always open in the space and not out. Also it’s kinda tight with the outside door. Pantry looks amazing. Great storage and stock up.

[@NatalieBennett]

[@basvanderwerff2725]

one thing to consider if lumber prices come down again, these premade shelves with the track are adjustable and easy to take down and mount somewhere else wich can be a bit harder with selfmade shelfs also not having mitters makes it alot stronger the points whould be easier to break and a bonus is it makes reusing the shelves in other places easier with them just being strait

[@sarahwarren4253]

AH this made me wanna go reorganize our pantry space 😂 100% agree on the benefits of having a stocked up pantry!

[@angela_flute52689]

28:25 I would recommend switching the fridge door so it opens the other way. That way it opens into the pantry instead of you having to go around and be wedged between the open fridge door and the exterior door. TOTALLY agree about not being "minimal" in the pantry. Food storage always, for all the reasons you listed. Just rotate it properly (grocery > pantry > cupboard > meal) and you're fine.

[@NatalieBennett]

We’ve chosen to keep the door opening this way because they can open extra wide! If we switch the door opening it would run into the back door of the pantry and make it even more difficult to get into!

[@angela_flute52689]

@@NatalieBennett ​ Ah, that makes sense. I just remembered being thrilled when I found out I could swap sides in my old apartment kitchen and wanted to share just in case it helped. I probably misunderstood the flow of the room. If you like to use it as you come in from outside, want that wider opening you mention, and your fridge door doesn't automatically close on you like mine unless I open it all the way, then opening your way makes more sense (as far as I can tell, which is obviously limited). Plus you get the window light. Speaking of running into doors, a tip for anyone who needs it: I have a door-bonking situation in our office where the door hits a dresser, so I put one of those fuzzy chair feet protectors on the dresser to protect it from the handle. I also have one on a dropped part of our ceiling (1930s curved ceilings) so our front door corner doesn't dent it.

[@alissadewolf3447]

[@shervin6711]

LOOKS AMAZING!!❤ If you notice your potatoes/ onions start sprouting, in your new corner, you could try to put them in a cardboard box or paper bag in your shelf that will likely work. I have a very large, newspaper lined wicker picnic basket, that I put paper bags in to sort potatoes. Has worked for years! Also have a few drawers, I put cups filled with cloves, and in each drawer I have apples, or onions, etc a folded paper bags over each. It helps absorb dampness, "" gasses" from ripening.. cloves helps keeps critters away!
