Pantry Organization Makeover (Kitchen Series 2013)

[@abusymom2487]

Just want to say thank you so much.. We are in the process of buying our first home, and your videos are helping me sooo much.

[@TheOC3223]

What a great video! Every time you talk about kids I get so excited! Love you Jen and Don!

[@daniwilgus3780]

Thanks so much for your 2013 kitchen series! I'm in the process of combining kitchens and organizing. I use those bins for a lot of things and a tip I learned to straighten out the handles... Use your hair flat iron on a low setting! All of the bins come with wrinkled handles and used to drive me crazy! Thanks again for all the great ideas!

[@jeanspeer4053]

Taking a walk down memory lane! Binge watching!

[@rondalawson3311]

Finished the last part of my own kitchen organization this weekend, inspired by you Jen! Thanks so much for sharing!

[@cassiefisher4236]

Super job, Jen, but I swear by my Tupperware for ensuring that dry goods like flour, sugar, corn meal, cereals, grains etc are safe from creepy crawlies. I'm fastidiously clean, but I've had larder beetles in my last apartment that no amount of extermination treatments seemed to get rid of. I'm in a house now (a new build) and this past summer, I discovered that field mice had come in and had been under the kitchen sink. I keep everything in Tupperware (or other sealed containers) and feel so much more confident that my dry goods are more resistant to unwanted "guests". Really enjoy all your videos. Thank you for your sharing!

[@cassiefisher4236]

***** Great idea about freezing the flour to start with. It's so easy to unwittingly bring unwanted "guests" into your home through dry goods. Thanks!! I also have a Food Saver vacuum machine that I will try out with glass containers now.

[@MarieAlbares]

I love how your first thought of what to do with the things you don't get much use out of is to give it away to a food bank. It's so great that you always think of others! :)

[@YT4Me57]

I purchased a couple of those shelf risers for my kitchen cabinet (one for spices and the other for cans) and what a big difference it has made! Like you, I was able to sort out items that had expired and now I have a much better view of what I have and I won't be letting food go to waste in the future.

[@staceyv8754]

I totally agree with you that just watching the way other people organize their spaces and lives really helps me with my own. Your videos are helping me immensely in getting me motivated and thinking about how I can better organize my life. :) Thank you!

[@dodgegirl1us]

You inspired me to clean out my pantry and reorganize. I had never seen the three tier shelf big enough for can goods. I went to the container store and bought 4 of them. Thanks again for the video I got some great ideas from it.

[@deniseprater7799]

Jen, Thank you for taking the time out of your life to make this video for us, it has totally inspired me to go clean the book shelf that I had to use for food storage as I don't have a pantry, and only 3 cabinets in the Kitchen for food, that left 1 for my bowls and on the bottom ( Bowls up top ) and the lower shelf is my pans and baking stuff cookie sheets, pizza pans etc. then 2 cabinets up top, which I have glasses/ cups in 1 my plates etc in the other. So you see I HAVE NO CABINETS at all, anyways I'm getting off here and going to work on my food shelf ! Thanks again!!!

[@JenSoapySuds]

Love the roll away bins on the floor!! Super neat Jen.

[@reniehandler2595]

Beautiful job Jen!!!! Everything looks clean and organized! LOVE it!!!! So happy to have 2 of your videos today!!! YAY!!!

[@101NINNY]

Your pantry tidy up is such a glorious sight to see :-)

[@sharons6114]

Recently moved and needed some ideas for organizing this new but smaller kitchen...Thank you Jen. Very helpful. I re-watched all of your kitchen related videos, entertaining and informative. Your kitchen looks off white sometimes and light oak sometimes, it made me think for a moment that you had renovated. I like your kitchen design.

[@tmyuylom]

You plant wonderful seeds of inspiration. I have been able to apply some of your organizational insights and logic around my home and find things to be so much easier to manage. I am looking forward to your holiday series.

[@apfelprincess45]

Love those rolling baskets on the floor, they're awesome for all kinds of storage :)

[@ItsBeckaa]

I'm so excited for this! We are building a home in the next month or so and love the organizational components you used here.

[@janeofoz]

Jen I love your videos. You have inspired me to reorganise my whole house and I am enjoying it so much! Thank you for sharing your lifestyle and home with us :)

[@rosiesally7748]

I love this video and I love how you start to answer some of the comments below. I'm glad you take the time for that. Thanks, Jen!

[@MagaliSurLaMer]

Looks good. I redid the area under my kitchen and bathroom sinks last weekend and used the lazy susans you rec'd and the bins from BB&B. looks great. Can't believe how many cleaning products I have that I had forgotten about.

[@amandaolaitan]

Thanks for sharing loved your kitchen series for this year can't wait for holiday prep ~ soooo excited

[@piscesnetworld7137]

Always love everything you do around house.. I feel you.. It takes time and effort to keep a house in great condition inside and out.. Love you Jen..

[@Mimi.Cherie]

Great job, everything looks perfect. You have inspired me so much, I love you Jen.

[@mispasttimes]

I really enjoy your organizational videos, not being a very organized person I always thought it was a talent you where kind of born with. But watching your videos I feel that I learn new things every time :) Thanks for sharing :)

[@franciscalderon3537]

Great job Jen .

[@Cfoots03]

Nice Work! Thanks for sharing. I just revamped my pantry today!!!

[@LiveLoveCHXBeach]

I have moved recently, so organizing is a huge part of my life now. This home is 2.5 x smaller so bit challenging. Rubbermaid totes, bins of all sizes and my brother p-touch have helped. I having to increase the font size on the labels everywhere! LOL

[@mrsditalo]

Thank you for all these great tips! I'm always inspired to get my own house in order. I can't wait for holiday prep videos! Super excited

[@AnnEckhart]

You inspired me to create a baking bin/tote; I put all of my seasonal baking supplies in a Thirty-One tote and have it with my stockpile in the basement. All together but out of the way! :-)

[@WithWonder]

Nice!

[@scrapper900]

Great video! I got some new and exciting ideas I will try out. Thank you for all of your hard work doing these videos. I know it must be very time consuming.

[@melissakaufman5449]

This is my favorite video in the series! And I'm really looking forward to your holiday prep series! Many Blessings, Melissa

[@Momo-SixTimes]

Great video. I have some similar tools in my pantry but we have a lot more food due to having a lot of people in the house. Some additional tools I use that come in quite handy are 1/2-gallon size canning jars for dry goods like pasta, rice, oatmeal, cookies, etc. They're air-proof when closed, inexpensive to buy, you can see through them to see what's in them...but I've also tied labels around them so I know exactly what's in them. It keeps all of your dry goods highly visible so you know when you need to restock.

[@WithWonder]

Great tips!

[@k3lly8elly]

You totally inspired me ! Unfortunately me and my fiancé lost our home to hurricane sandy but hopefully with in the next few months we will be able to rebuild and I plan on revisiting all your vlogs for inspiration

[@WithWonder]

I am so sorry for your loss. I hope you will find peace & comfort in your new home!

[@k3lly8elly]

thank you

[@LiveLoveCHXBeach]

BTW, thereaderbug has great advice. Living in a high humidity area…storing food in containers is the only way to keep the food from get stale in a day. And yes I am putting the mini mms on my shopping list!! Holiday baking is so much fun. The kitchen is set up and organized from the move. Gotta go work on the upstairs now.

[@lilianaaguilar7718]

Thanks Jen! You give me great ideas of how to make all spaces able to use. Saludos desde Houston :)

[@tiffanygrace2772]

This video was perfect timing for me. I was just starting to reorganized my panty because I had the same issue with the can goods. Thanks

[@ChristyJade]

You look especially pretty in this video!! Love the pantry!

[@ladymartin11]

Thanks Jen. As usual you showed a product I wanted, but didn't know they actually made. The expanding shelf risers I have are too narrow for bigger cans/jar. Off to the container store I go to replace with these MEGA shelf risers.

[@ShariMason-Sewn_in_Sunshine]

Nicely done Jen! I'm about to move to a new house that has a walk-in-pantry (which I'm incredibly excited about!!) and I'll be using some of your techniques for organisation!

[@pjreisa5050]

I am going to try that riser in my area where I keep my can goods...thanks for that idea!!!!

[@daemonicstar]

Great, really liked this video and ideas!

[@Hummingbird67]

Very helpful.. Thank you. By the way I love your kitchen... absolutely beautiful!

[@ReenieK2]

Great video, I do something similar w/ my baking items, I have a basket just for Cookie ingredients since I make those most, and its so handy to have everything in one spot.

[@spnfan10]

Hey Jen.. you just inspired me to organize my pantry.. the door organizer is a great idea. I hope you had a Happy Thanksgiving

[@MHVmjiau]

Thank you so much for this kitchen series Jen! So inspiring, especially as we are moving soon. I will definitely try to do something similar at our new home. :)

[@helenJ72]

Hi Jen. I've really enjoyed your kitchen series. I first started watching you just before you startied filming your original kitchen series years ago. Look how far you've come. Very inspiring. Looking forward to all your holiday planning. Hele.n:)

[@jqi8872]

Lovely video, as usual. I don't see the reason for people to hate on her. Is there really something that she's done horribly wrong? She's an adult and can drink or eat whatever she wishes - and that has nothing to do with you. I know a lot of people wanted/requested this video, so that's why she filmed and posted it. If you really hate her so much that you wish to ruin everybody's day with a mean comment, then why not skip this video or unsubscribe altogether? The title pretty much says everything you need to know about what's going on here...

[@dcwilliams514]

nice...Thanks for sharing.. I'm working on my linen closet

[@judykairys4911]

Really nice organization. I like the bins on the floor with the wheels. I have never seen these type of containers, and will be looking for a couple and google them. I bought some from Pottery Barn, but the washable ones for kitchen articles would be better. A lot of good ideas, and the snack and little bags is good too.

[@rachelgross4553]

thank you for your inspiration, Jen! I enjoyed getting a glimpse at the foods in your pantry also :)

[@bobbifisher8719]

Jennifer-Command Strips Velcro Strips may be helpful to keep the door shelving in place. Thank you for all your videos!

[@WithWonder]

TFS!

[@MsTeuska]

Yay. I havent watched yet but looking forward to it. Love your videos :-)

[@Jakefromstatefarm-cu6kz]

I just organized my pantry today. When we moved into our new home the previous owners left risers in the pantry. I took them out and stored them in a bin because I had no use for them. They are coming out tonight! I can't wait to see how my pantry looks. What the heck, I'm probably going to use the risers for alcohol!!!!

[@deleesew2]

Jen you could use some double sided tape at the top of your over the door rack to stop it sliding over. I like to write the date I buy my canned goods on the can, as they aren't always marked with use by dates, so at least I know when I've bought something and how long it has been hiding in my cupboard when it comes to clean out time.

[@chaank1069]

Great vdo. Thank u Jen

[@DamonAndJo]

Thanks! I'll make Jo watch these. Her apartment is a mess!

[@MsLulufin]

great video!!

[@butterflyforeve]

to keep the over the door organizer in place use some double sided sticky tape like the foam tape squares. I would put several pieces down the length of the center bar. it would keep it in place very well.

[@overweightgirl3112]

I love your organizing ideas. I would like to see your tool area. Where you keep all your tools and workshop stuff? I need your ideas to help me with with my husband's tools and stuff. Thank you.

[@Raina1967]

It look's good Jen . I do Our Pantry every Season so ever 3 Months I look for Expired cans and such. I hate My Pantry to be running over with things and My Hubby & Daughter know that .

[@PALMBEACHPICKER]

Looks great! Did you get the rolling bins from the container store as well? I would like a few of those for my pantry. I was wondering if you can turn those rolling bins around long way, freeing up more space for the vinegar, to be pushed back and not visible on the floor? Thank you so much for all you do! I am always inspired by your videos!!

[@roxbbp]

Just curious if you would ever do a pet treat organizational video. Would love to see how you organize Winnie's treats and where you keep them. Thanks!

[@cadetkellie69]

Wow you look pretty in this video:)

[@dianna2911]

Thanks for this, Jen; I do have one question: where did you get the two rolling floor bins in the bottom of your pantry? Was it the Container Store? If so, was it the kitchen department? I think that would be really helpful for me. Thanks. :)

[@addiedee7906]

Are you ever going to do a DITL video? Those are kinda fun to watch.

[@dotbetter2581]

love this video, my pantry now needs a makeover. Actually, it's very organized and functionnal for me, but this video gives me more inspiration, and a lot of new ideas... Thanks jen and Yes you motivate and inspire me :)

[@apfelprincess45]

Those little turntables you have all your sauces on are called Lazy Susans :)

[@cynnamon28]

Are those wall scuff marks? Use a Mr Clean Eraser. I thought I had to repaint my walls, but scuff marks happen and it saves money. I use them dry on my wall and it makes the wall appear as though nothing was there.

[@mspris76]

I really need those rolling carts you have on the bottom of you pantry! Any idea on where I may find them?? love all your videos

[@murdige]

Can you also show your "everyday" cooking area? Like where you keep the oils and spices and things you work with all the time? Thanks!

[@nildasimon3455]

Check her kitchen tour video

[@mariabeedie4795]

U and Don prepare great food; why not real pancakes lol? It's ok everyone has something they cheat at. Plus I've never tried that brand but making your own pancake mix is so simple and they are better than any box mix! Love the video!

[@lindaalberts8770]

I have been watching alot of your videos with CC and Donny. Just watched this pantry video and would like to know where and how you organize your spices. I have an L shaped walk in pantry not large. On one shelf I have an expanda shelf like your cans are on. And a smaller one next to that. It works but no corral in case a jar wants to slip off. And I am forever missplacing spices.Please do a video on this. Thanks.

[@michelel389]

Will the over the door hanger be less in the way of the handle if you change the height of the shelf up or down?

[@csimon8128]

can you please let us know what you line your shelves with? it seems like a clear plastic, but is it a flat sheet that you cut to size or is it soft and comes in a roll?

[@organized4]

Hi Jen, Do you know if the Container Store carries your dark brown baskets in the pantry anymore? And what they were called? Thanks for all your videos!

[@FitterTwit]

That is sooo great!!! What name brand are the rolling bins at the bottom? I went to The Container Store and couldn't find them and when I described them to the customer service girl, she had NO CLUE what I was talking about. She asked me if I knew what the name of the bins where. Thanx!

[@xobrebre23]

Hey Jen! I absolute LOVE all your videos! I watch them all the time! I heard you said you were from Chicago? I hope I heard right? I've always heard of everyone saying the "Container Store" .. What's the Container Store and where is it located?? Thank you!!!

[@sharonroudybush6194]

Hi Jen !!!!!! Great video.!! Can you tell me where to get the rolling baskets that are on your floor. And what size are they? Would be nice for all my foil, wax, paper ect. going back to watch more videos cause I just found you Mave a great day.

[@addiedee7906]

I saw someone else's video with the same over the door system and they used some command hooks to keep their system from moving around. Do you think that would work to keep your system in place?

[@DawnH123]

I liked those rolling bins on the floor. Are they from the Container Store? I wish we had a pantry closet.

[@WithWonder]

They were but I don't see them on the website anymore...

[@DawnH123]

Thanks for checking!

[@Cougarqueen]

The door organizer ??? I love that I need to get one where is that from please!!!

[@montystepura3689]

Its also from the Container Store. We use ours for all of our vitamins and medicines. They are a fantastic use of space and the baskets come in different lengths, heights and widths. Ours move a little bit too Jen but not enough to be a real problem.

[@Uberbl0nde]

Would you show us how to store things in the dreaded basement? Thanks!

[@WithWonder]

I have a video on this channel sharing my utility room/storage organization...

[@schnirchj]

Hey Jen. Love your organizational videos, but what I really want to know is what do you guys do with the Hearts of Palm? I had a recipe for a salad using them, but can't locate it now, and I really need to use the jar I have in my cupboard. I've never tried them so I want to make something really good with them. Thanks! Jamie

[@WithWonder]

I think they're tasty just tossed in with any salad. Easy as that!

[@kjroberts2050]

Great video. How do you clean the bins? Do you put something at the bottom in case things leak?x

[@WithWonder]

I've never had an issue with leaking although I am pretty meticulous about making sure everything is shut tightly before I put things away.

[@kjroberts2050]

organizedlikejen thanks jen. I live in a tiny flat and currently struggling with organising my space. Your videos are really helpful XXX

[@claudiares167]

Where did you get those rollaway bins? I am currently searching for something just like that (I want to be able to clean the floor of the pantry often, but I have to remove a lot of stuff every time) the container store doesn't have any.

[@WithWonder]

I bought them from The Container Store several years ago but sadly could not find them on the website now which is why I didn't link them in my blog post...

[@Uberbl0nde]

Loves me some S'mores Basket! :)

[@WithWonder]

It's the best bin in there ;)

[@janesmith3447]

I lloveit

[@debbietrekell2385]

I keep my flours in the freezer. keeps the bugs out of it as well as the extra sugar to avoid sugar ants.

[@coastergirl23]

I wonder how many nail polishes can be displayed on the expanded shelf thing.....

[@WithWonder]

Probably quite a few I'd imagine as you can definitely fit at least two nail polish bottle deep on each step.

[@thiruvithancoreworld208]

Try to keep a biogas plant or compost bin , so that u can use less plastic trash bags . So many plastics we throw in trash are dumped in other countries , burned . It kills so many people . Try to put a video about reducing plastic like ziplock , reduced trash bags etc . Those people will really thank you...

[@TessieDobey]

Nice job, purchase a liquor cabinet to keep all the happy juice on one location.

[@zerfowski05]

what brand is the pantry organizer?

[@vgfigue]

where can i find these bins and such?

[@hilarydaimler1083]

I use a pantry app to scan what's in my pantry so I know what I have when I go to the store.

[@RachelDex]

Pantry Organization..... reminds me of that awful guy in the film Sleeping With The Enemy! lol

[@senormisfit]

Can you explain to me why I HAVE RICE ARONI IN MY COFFEE!!!

[@heartmycrackberry]

Why don't you just donate your juicer if you never use it or give it to a family member? Then someone else would be able to enjoy it and it'd be out of your hair entirely, not just stored away somewhere else! That sounds like a good win-win to me!

[@WithWonder]

Well, I will if I don't use it again in the next year or so. I don't want to give something expensive like that a new home unless I'm absolutely sure I no longer have a need for it.

[@aislinnnxo]

Calm down it's only a juicer

[@marcr6191]

LUCY! it is her home... her life... her decisions and her rules! so back off! it isn't your place nor your right to ''suggest maliciously nor pretend to care what she does or will do '' GO cover your wide forehead! malicious odious woman!

[@katherinesarmiento66]

nice video to watch

[@SillyMando2008]

My pantry is very deep and I've been begging my husband since we got our house to install pull out shelfs....someday

[@honmin8201]

Two, matching, tres expensive, KitchenAid mixers so Jen-like.
