Well my pantry doesn't look like those pantries.
Norah needs to earn money for Activity Days camp and I need to deep clean my "zones". Today's zone was the kitchen, so Norah and I cleaned the pantry.
I usually know it's time to clean and organize the pantry when dog food sticks to the bottom of my feet as I am leaving the untidy food closet. The reason that dog food is usually carpeting my pantry floor is because the cat sneaks into the pantry and rips a hole in the bottom of the bag and soon dog food is dispersed to all four corners. I know you think perhaps there is a solution to the dog food and cat problem, but the cat is helpful in a few ways if not at keeping a clean pantry. And the dog, well, the vet told me that I could extend her life by 3-4 years by brushing her teeth so I sure as heck won't be brushing her teeth.
Anyway, I ordered some large buckets to keep the dog food and cat food out of paws way. I also am waiting on a few of those pretty french hermetic terrines to make me feel a little bit better about how I store my lentils, couscous, vital wheat, and flax seed. But this was the best I could do:
That little door is for gnomes.
And to the father of my children: Thank you for loving them as much as I do and teaching them the fun stuff.
Don't talk to me about Rosemary's pacifier. I pick my battles. That's not one. Did I mention that she screams when she comes near a toilet?
And to my own father: Thank you for the big eyes (I think they are my best feature) and an idyllic childhood. Go Michigan!

Pantry? What's a pantry? I have a closet. That you couldn't even really call a closet. It's that small. Blah!
Random thoughts:
I think my gnome would like a door like yours. :)
Do you do Flylady & her zones?
Not brushing dog's teeth . . . lol. Poor dog. I wouldn't do it, either.
I had to google search "french hermetic terrines" (what?) and was delighted to see that's what we already have . . . or some cheap version of the same idea. They are indeed handy and cute.
Pacifiers are a gift.
Good luck with toilets and screaming toddler.
I'm happy to see you here more often! Your pantry looks wonderful!
Good grief Martha, I would be more interested in organizing my pantry if it was as big as yours! And when is activity days camp? Shoot, that's one more thing I won't be telling Lia she's missing this summer. The pantry looks great. And as far as the pacifier goes, Megan's recurring ear infections even after her tubes are supposedly from her bottle. I don't believe that's entirely true, but it's also not something I can take away at this point in her life.
Martha I just found your blog and I know I am going to have such fun looking at it. I looked at your Ravencrest House Blog and LOVE your kitchen!
