Pantry made pretty

There was just a shallow pantry in this kitchen with a bifold door so we have been brainstorming how best to store food.  Husband suggested we use a nearby coat closet and brought in some shelving.  I have been surprised but so far we have not needed it.  We have an extra fridge and it seems most of what we eat is fresh or frozen these days.  We did have a major need for some logical spice, herb and seasoning storage. I purchased a couple dozen adhesive backed spice clips and we repurposed a white upright cabinet that had been left in the garage.  It is housing the spices and some pantry overflow now.

In the pantry I repurposed the many many half gallon jars we used to have for our goatdairy back in the day. I am a little in love with chalkboard labels.  (read: I want to label EVERYTHING)  If you are interested in stocking a paleo pantry, this article sums up perfectly.  As you can see we are a little bit traditional and a little bit pa-le-oooo.  Sung to the tune of Donny and Marie.  Oh never mind.  My references are increasingly obsolete ; )
