Taking Back the Kitchen, part two

(I have to say...this post and I did NOT get along!  The pictures did not cooperate AT ALL.  Just because I love you guys did I keep messing with it until it was somewhat better.  I gave up eventually!!  But you at least get the idea).

The second part of this challenge was our pantry.  We have 2 corner cabinets that we use for food storage, both with lazy susans.  I HATE the lazy susans.  All the boxes get screwy, stuff falls behind them.  If the shelf isn't full, everything shifts around. UGH.  But this is what I have, so I need to embrace it.

Here were the starting points:

Upper Cabinet Before



Lower Cabinet Before

 The first thing I did with the cabinets was empty them.

Upper Cabinet Contents

Lower Cabinet Contents

Then I threw out all the yucky stuff.  Anything that only had a serving left (alot of snack food), I put in a sandwich baggie to be added to a lunch this week.  This is what I threw out.

I cleaned the cabinets and added shelf paper.  I ran out of paper for the the bottom two shelves, so I need to get more.  I didn't want to fail the challenge, so I pressed on!

 

Yuck!!!



Double YUCK!!!

But once it was all cleaned out....I put new shelf paper down (or at least until I ran out!)

 

In the end, here are my finished cabinets:

Upper Cabinet After

Lower Cabinet After



I am not sure why I waited so long to do this....this really didn't take long, and it wasn't all that bad. 

As for the mini challenge....writing a letter or note.  I wrote this note that was enclosed with the pictures from Sassy's dance:

So there you are!  Week 2...DONE.  Oh....Week 3, you little devil....I can't wait to tackle you!!!
