NEW HOUSE PANTRY EXTREME DECLUTTER (on a budget!) MESSY TO MINIMAL Laundry Room/ Pantry Organization

[@iwagurl11]

#primerefam Thanks so much for your wonderful videos I am also a 29 year old mama of 3. You truly let me know I’m not alone. In this non Pinterest worthy household 🤣. I would make so many decor pieces with a cricut machine. I have loads of empty frames that I would use to input different images and wording in.

[@NatalieBennett]

Hey! You're the winner of the #premierefam giveaway!!!! Email me at [e-mail] so we can get in touch! ♥️

[@iwagurl11]

@@NatalieBennett 😍 Thank you! Email sent yesterday. Have a great day!😀 I look forward to hearing from you soon.

[@kathrync.144]

I love that you're a minimalist, but are open about keeping extras for emergencies. I personally don't need extras, but when you have a family to think about it's so important to have enough necessities for them in an emergency!

[@Tintifee]

Doesn't it just feel AMAZING when you already have something and it is JUST THE PERFECT SIZE for a place you hadn't even planned for that item? I just love it when that happens...

[@allisonw6762]

Yes! Growing up we used what we had or asked family if they knew someone to trade.

[@buckeyethor]

My favorite Cricut item I have made is an ornament with my grandma’s handwriting “God Bless!”. It’s just the same as every card and gift she ever gave. My siblings and cousins love them as well. I made enough for our entire extended family the Christmas after she passed.

[@evelinapreiss]

Omg THIS. Have you ever considered creating and selling that type of thing on Etsy?? I’d totally buy one and think it would sell like hot cakes!

[@myview6852]

I appreciate that your minimalism is common sense and not just strictly keeping every little item to the bare minimum. Some items need to be stocked up on!

[@randijohnson3806]

I always have at least a month's worth of pantry items that could carry us through if needed. We live in the rural midwest. There are legitimately times I cannot get to the store because of things like a snow storm. I don't think it's too crazy to keep things on hand just in case. It makes me think of Joseph storing up in the years of plenty to prepare for the skinny years.

[@annw1395]

Looks very organized and well-thought out! A couple of thoughts i had: Take out any wimpy shelves.(just whichever shelves are bowing) and replace them with strong wooden ones instead. We did this. In fact, you've got enough space to even add a couple of shelves. If the whole unit is just too weak, move it to your office, and use it for your camera equipment, etc..

[@njmaryannez]

@Natalie Actually, it’s not the shelves, but the supports that need to sturdier. I just got some larger, metal shelf supports at Home Depot for my new office’s bookcases.

[@LJCasey-sd4eu]

What great ideas you have!!!! 🥳🥳 BRILLIANT 👏

[@laurenalise3488]

You: “Please excuse the crumbs. We live here” Me: YES, let’s normalize not having a Pinterest perfect space 24/7. A space deserves to be LIVED in.

[@katmccoy34]

Thank you for reusing what you have and showing people that it is OK to not go buy new all the time! We are on a debt free journey right now and it's so frustrating to constantly be seeing inspo that requires tons of $$. That's why you're my fave channel! ❤ Shocked you haven't received too many "homesteaders wouldn't use bagged popcorn or store bought cleaner" comments yet. 🤣 You do you.

[@Mieke256]

I would love to see a video on how to be a "prepared minimalist"! Loved the video. Wonderful to see you are organizing for real life and not social media!

[@newmoondarkmoon]

I’ve gotten some clear plastic placemats from dollar tree in the past and used them on wire shelves. It works great if you have them in the pantry for cans and boxes of food. Also in closets with shoes to keep dirt from falling to clothes below. Or anything really.

[@megankim5731]

Love that you keep it real and do things with what you have. It’s great inspiration for those of us who are working with a budget! It also helps fight comparison and being content with what God has given me in a given season. Love your journey, Natalie. Thankful for your example! Pantry looks great! My sisters have cricuts and love them. #premierefam

[@mariannedressler6784]

I always enjoy seeing how others think through their organization!

[@SimplyMinimalKy]

Yes, real world people with real budgets! I catch myself reminding myself that real people can't always renovate their entire house in a year. 😅 Just a little at a time when we can afford to pay in cash.

[@NatalieBennett]

Yep! Debt free is the way to be!

[@elizabethmacmasternorris8232]

I just reorganized my pantry cupboards and basement “overstock” food items over the weekend. I still need to work on my crazy baking cabinet, so this video came at a great time. I LOVE the labels you made and that would definitely be the FIRST thing I’d use a cricut for. I have tons of jars of nuts, seeds, and grains on an exposed shelf in my kitchen that could really use some beautiful labels. #premierefam

[@aynregalado]

I absolutely love how realistic this type of reorganization is. :) I also love how you don't just buy things, BUT make things work instead. Very practical and cost-efficient. :)

[@kristinclemenson9422]

Thanks for donating to the food bank for flood victims up here in Whatcom County! I spent half a day with lots of volunteers cleaning out a church basement food bank that flooded with 4 feet of water on the floor. Tons of food was ruined and had to be thrown away. Thanks for finding a way to pitch in and help my community.❤️

[@kimberlyheinz4490]

Looks great! I would recommend putting shelf liner in the pantry area. It would make it look nicer and also be super easy for clean up. Have a great day!

[@samsadie_79]

When I got my Cricut Maker last year, it was an absolute game-changer! I label EVERYTHING! It makes things easy to find, but also easy for my husband and kids to know where to put things back when they’ve used them. My pantry labels are my favourite (so satisfying to look at, yet functional too). I’m currently using my Cricut to make Christmas decorations as teacher gifts, which has saved me a fortune. The gifts look expensive and “custom”, yet cost very little.

[@cherishthewayyousparkle8046]

It's amazing how big of a difference some labeling can make. Crazy how well the shelves ended up fitting!

[@thewadsquad]

Everything looks so amazing! love that you got a cricut sponsorship! Yaay! Hilarious how everything JUST fit!! Those wire baskets are incredible, and those little label hangers.. I need to get some of those!!

[@ordinarymomma4413]

Taking the doors off was the best decision😍!

[@kima260]

You’re having so much fun Natalie, and it’s contagious! I love it!! Keep making your house a home. They are our sanctuaries ❤️. Watching from Michigan 🦌

[@Youknowitsjenn]

You’re a practical minimalist and I love that! Makes me feel less guilty for having a “back stock” pantry but still have clear countertops 😅

[@NatalieBennett]

Minimalism should work FOR you not the other way around! 👏🏼

[@tiffanyaloudat7145]

I have been putting off decluttering and reorganizing our kitchen. Thank you for the kick in the rear and inspiration to get it done. Also, for the reminder that it doesn’t need to be done in a day or a few hours and it’s okay to take a break. I also love finding things to repurpose around the home. It saves so much money! Thank you for being you! Much love to you and your family!💖

[@bleumoon8426]

suggestion you may like and need; since your pantry / storage is in the laundry room...to protect the items from lint or dust etc and to make the room more visually appealing. place a curtain rod across the entire back wall (hunf from the ceiling for best suport for that large space) and hang up curtains for easy access to your items but keeps everything clean and looks very nice as well.

[@committransaction]

May I just compliment you on the selection of your background music? It is the perfect mix between positive motivation and soothing calmness. Thank you for all the effort you put into your videos! Blessings from Germany

[@candiceyork3894]

This is the perfect video for some serious motivation, so thank you Natalie! We are prepping for a cross country move this week, starting with decluttering and some light packing. Loved watching this and having it set the vibe for our busy week. I wish I had a cricut to lable my boxes ❤ #premierefam

[@Med_Zeb]

My kitchen is currently being renovated and my new cabinets go in. I'm getting floor to ceiling pantry cabinets, too and I'm SO excited because we've been using a small linen closet and the hallway to stack food for the past 8 years. I can't wait to play with my new cabinets. :D

[@mickalaloeffelbein4935]

I’m so type A and slightly perfectionist (with what I choose to keep around) that I completely understand the pure joy and satisfaction that comes along with something fitting perfectly within a space... and you got a triple whammy!!! 😍🎄... OOHHHHH and then the protein powder 😂😂

[@rachellehoogendoorn]

I love labelling things! I always have. My parents have found things I owned as a child all with my name on them. Pencils, purses, even my old workbag with a laminated list of what to bring. I haven't been converted to a cricket user, I just use the quick handheld label maker. #premierefam

[@ioanagabrielaroajda3700]

I love how everything turned out. And honestly it does look Pinterest worthy to me. I mean if I would see this on Pinterest it would for sure inspire me. And just in time as my pantry and kitchen are in desperate need for a clean and organization. Thank you for this. Your videos are so cozy and relaxing. And your view makes me want to take a trip to the mountains. ❤❤❤❤😍

[@camillehines2269]

The whole room looks great! I got a cricut almost a year ago. It has paid for itself! I have everything labeled and have made so many gifts and decor!!

[@msknwill]

Love that you've used things you already have. You've inspired me to do a pantry reorg using supplies we already have for the most parts. I want to label my things as well so the kiddos can help more in the kitchen and find things easily.

[@tinamoore6352]

Amazing job! It doesn’t need to be Pinterest worthy all the time. I love that you were able to use shelves you already had.

[@donnamckeller2010]

It looks wonderful! For me it can be Pinterest worthy and still not be functional for my needs, but you really made this work and the labels are just right! Loving watching your new house become more you and your family’s home 💕

[@vanessaripley3275]

You need a collapsible bucket for your Mop! We have a tiny house and the collapsible bucket is a game changer!

[@elizabethdirks6533]

Looks so nice! We have this exact same pantry shelf, so yes those shelves are not the most stable. I found that a hot glue line along the edges and pegs helps keep the shelves from shifting. 😊

[@lilma23784]

I love that you use mason jars. I have found recently that I have a slight addiction to them. They come in so many sizes and are so versatile.

[@irenehinojosa6629]

Love, love love what you did in your laundry room/pantry. My favorite is the labels on the front of the shelves (tools, cleaning etc).

[@rachellereacobb8615]

It was so satisfying each time something JUST perfectly fit!

[@brendatenney8404]

Looking great with the pantry and laundry room area. Love how you shop within your house. I'm with you on not loving something. We have slowly changed things in our house. I took a year to change and repair things in our house. Next year, I'll visit changing the kitchen / living area floors. They are a dark brown. I want a lighter gray brown color. But eventually we will be blessed with new ones.

[@laceyballiet6627]

Girl, I hate waiting a week for your videos, but I love that they have been longer. You’ve inspired me to eat healthier and try out new recipes. Keep up the good work!

[@cornjuiceproductions2887]

You've grown up so much in the past year I've been following you! (In a good way). And your boys look so grown up too!!!

[@billielovestre]

I love all the labels and I love how everything seemed to fit perfectly in all the spaces. You're so adorable and you convinced me I need a cricut!

[@arielroy9830]

My husband and I are both teachers so we use our cricut constantly for school! I’m also a cheerleading coach so I love making T-shirts for my team

[@taylorriccucci]

I love that you keep it so real. You inspire me to shop my own house. Make sure I don’t already have options before buying! We need more of you and less “Disney princess hair” 🤣

[@asmaa_vlog_85]

When I get a notification that you have uploeded a video, my happy time begins 📸❣️🍊♥️,🥳😘🥰🤩❤️

[@tantedine]

Same here 🤩💕

[@ritathainey-clement8222]

Why? Thats all it is is a cricket commercial!!

[@tantedine]

@@ritathainey-clement8222 And what's the problem with that? I like Nathalie's content and when she does advertising, I don't mind. There is also advertising on free tv.

[@claneene1]

Since you started this series I've been slowly decluttering my house and tried your way of how you organize to see if this combination helps me stay organized. It has helped out so much! I'm not having to revisit things for a massive overhaul constantly because we got rid of the things that were just being moved around and causing clutter. Now I just have baskets, shelves and the like that I need to label. I didn't think it would be such a big deal but if I'm the one who made the decision to put something in a basket of course I know it's there but my husband may not. Since my son isn't quite ready to read it'd be nice to use pictures to label his bins of clothes and toys with the word underneath it. Your labels looked fine before but they look more streamlined with the new labels. You've made being a minimalist less daunting by showing that you can still be one even if you're not following the "rules" 100% because that's what always held me back from taking that leap. It needed to be all or nothing in my head, no extras and no changing of the rules. #premeirefam

[@shannonmcrae1364]

It makes me so happy that that metal shelf fit so perfectly between that random wall

[@BrightestBlessings7899]

Yup we are in BC Canada and were only without power for a day, but a whole day. Your laundry/ pantry looks amazingly organized! I love it!!

[@missyholz]

I think a good add would be to get pull-outs that is normally in kitchens for the bottom of the cabinet with the heavy stuff. Then you can pull them out and grab what you need.

[@donnawiseman9311]

Isn't it amazing how those shelves fit! That's great! It looks great and so handy!

[@jennylhenry78]

16:54 I can see it in your face here Natalie that you know how good the Lord is to you! God is good! Even in the details! Each little piece fitting just so. 😍

[@laurendewitt-sehlhorst3984]

When I always get a notification that your videos are coming on. I get so excited. As for a project I would do with a machine I would make a church psalm or prayer to hang up on my wall

[@LifestylewithSarah]

I am exactly like you when cleansing and organizing - hair up and I also wear comfy clothes! I never get how some KZbinrs will have their hair look nice and nice clothes… not realistic in my opinion. But love how you have repurposed stuff you have. I have been doing the same thing! Moving things around to make spaces more organized!

[@carolynnance7176]

Idea use the doors you took off and create more shelf storage above the unit. Reinforce the shelves like you said and paint the inside white. They may make it feel visually more appealing to you.

[@lorizielinski227]

I love how you used the space, it's so nice to be able to find things easily ❤️

[@jessicaladd85]

I love your content so much that while I wait for a new video, I watch the old ones!

[@kevinandwhitneycolvin1435]

This is the first premiere I’ve ever been apart of! :) I found your channel recently and have really been enjoying your content! -Whitney

[@kevinandwhitneycolvin1435]

I can’t find the live chat on my phone :( I’ve tried figured out how to switch to desktop version but can’t find it! Watching you fit the shelves in there was so fun and satisfying! Haha I’m always so happy when I can get things like that to work out! And love that you are using what you have, very relatable :)

[@esperanca2012]

The flooding has been insane! We live in the Okanagan valley and are now basically cut off from the lower mainland (Vancouver) for the foreseeable future! Not fun. Terrible heat wave then smoke and fires in summer and now it’s flooding and rock slides. Now waiting for a forecasted colder than usual Jan/Feb! 🤪. I too agree with minimalism but also agree that’s it’s important to be prepared with a little extra of basics so as not to get panicked when there are things missing at the grocery store! 😍

[@SimplelifeAH]

What perfect timing 👌 I am about to start working on my laundry space (which is small) and my pantry (which I don't even have) working with what we have. And this is my favorite thing about you. You work with what you have and for us simple people that is what we need. 😊🤷‍♀️

[@jamiepalmer9316]

Nice job! My only suggestion from a food safety perspective would be to store the cans and other food above the cleaning supplies rather than in the reverse.

[@ilkthefirst5353]

I think she organized this way because of kids... For them to be able to reach food when necessary but not to chemicals.

[@jewlzt7331]

Probably also did to sheer weight. Cans can add up to pounds of weight. Those extra pounds can break shelves, or even just really hurt when they fall.

[@robinwallace9655]

It’s your home! Everything fits perfectly! Beautiful job labeling! Love the Wash & Dry sign! Love to have a cricket 🦗!!

[@vickimontgomery5271]

It looks great and your minimalist balance is refreshing! I love your style! So relaxing to look at it done!

I loved the blink 182 Reference right around 11:00 90’s baby nostalgia☺️

[@kims914]

Great video Natalie!! I too also love that you are using what you have. I use shoe boxes also, especially in a cabinet that no one will see anyways. So happy for you that you are enjoying your beautiful new home.❤️

The “where are yewww” killed me. Love the blink reference 😂

[@shirleyasay7673]

Making me want a cricut more than I already did!

[@lindamcdermott8157]

You did such a nice job on this room. I like repurposing things I already have. Your baskets look perfect.

[@mrsbrittanylouu7518]

That garage is massive!!! Wow so much space for that beautiful garage gym set up!!!

[@sophiebotello4751]

It looks like that wooden shelving unit is made out of prefinished maple which is actually really strong. If you got little metal shelf pens which are about $.15 each it would increase the strength of that shelving as well so that you could put heavier stuff on all of the shelves.

[@Kimberly-pf4wi]

Just a thought/idea: move the white cabinet (that isn't working for you) out to the garage, into the man cave part to use for other things. Then move one of those metal shelves that you said were too big and move into that space. I saw quite a few metal shelving units when you were looking for one to go in in the tools/cleaning supply area.

[@ellengross1027]

Love all the labeling! A super organized, easily accessible system makes such a difference. I'd use a Cricut just as you have, and then see what else was possible. #premierefam

[@camkind4377]

I'm so excited I've got a new pantry shelving unit that I'm installing in my kitchen. I can't wait til I've got it all in and can organize it!

[@savannahwisel8695]

Second time with the #premierefam. These are such a fun way to start a Monday 😊. The cricut is definitely a game changer for labels. It would be fun to use the cricut to create personalized gifts.

[@robinbaker7735]

This new house is a perfect fit for your family

[@loridanielle27]

#premierfam I love my cricut, I went crazy labeling everything in my house with mine and I love it. I think the best is my sons room. He has OCD and hates stuff not being were it goes or his room messy so we labeled his toys bins(with words and pictures since he is 6 and can't fully read yet) so when he has company come play they can clean and everyone knows where everything goes. He loves it! As always you did an amazing job!

[@terikc2012]

Great job Natalie! 🙂 I LOVE the mason jar dry storage!!

[@maryssaann]

I keep our extra food in a closet in our basement bathroom 😂 our pantry is very lacking in space. Whoever built our home only gave about a 3 foot wide space with pullout shelves and a cabinet above for space so I had to get creative when I bought extra food supply. It’s working so far! Love how your pantry turned out!!

[@annisamayanghefanti]

I love the way you explain things. Such a beautiful energy and aura. Thank you for the update on your lovely home. Can't wait to see more. Love from Indonesia :)

[@cscreative5460]

I watched your first pantry org video then this one. As a cricut owner I definitely was like she could totally make circut labels for those. Glad to see the crossover 🙂

Haha love it! ♥️

As always it was again very motivating & inspiring! 😍 even though we unfortunately don’t have a pantry nor a laundry room ourselves, but it‘s still very inspiring to see how you do it and how i could maybe try some of these things with the space that we do have. Thank you for sharing! 😊

[@debraleague8135]

Love the declutter and organization video!! Everything turned out looking so nice.

As always loved your video..sharing your thoughts as you set up home …that room is amazing ….. and yet room for further space saving ideas down the room…but I have to admit I loved the labelling on the black shelves…great idea …I love a designated area …everything has a home!💕🙋🏻‍♀️🇬🇧💕jane

[@ukomdesign]

Love this series so much. Black labels look so good and really unique. You may also measure wire shelving unit that was too big for left side and find out if it is good to swap this woden cabinet. Can't wait for this space to have custom built ins.

You've inspired me to add shelves to and declutter our dining room closet this weekend !

[@debbielenoir5472]

So glad you showed your family name sign. We received one from son’s ex-wife many years ago. I want to repaint it and redo the lettering with my Cricket! I forgo about the sign because it’s been in storage because I hate the coloring!

[@shmandles]

Your negative space labels are brilliant!

[@miarenee6703]

Loving your custom labels! I’ve been using the chalk board type labels for a while for my pantry and you’re so right, they are life changing! I would probably make flash cards with picture symbols for my son to communicate his needs/wants (he’s nonverbal) his teachers used to make them which helped immensely! I have to go back and rewatch the first half of your pantry video; I missed the first half. Have a great week! 💜💜💜 #premierefam
