Behold Its Beauty | Playgroups are No Place For Children

March 5, 2008 | Filed in: Happy Homemaking, Pictures

This is my glorious pantry…organized, neat, unblemished by dirty fingers and laziness.

I know it won’t last, the newness of just having unpacked will fade. I just wanted to capture it, this fleeting beauty, before it all goes to Hell.

Awww! And look - Ovaltine has pride of place, too

I can hear the tiny choir of angels all the way here in Texas. I love having an organized pantry. There is something so cool about seeing all the tiny little jars and boxes all lined up in their rows sorted by cereal, veggies, meat, etc.

How purty!

Oh pretty! Organized things (and organizing) give me a sick amount of joy. I seriously need help. But I do love that pantry! And, like Annie, I did notice that Ovaltine was front and center!

Maggie’s last blog post..Wake Up Calls

my tiny little jars do not look that nice. I don’t think you would want to be my friend if you saw my pantry…

emily’s last blog post..Get A Haircut!…and a giveaway

My pantry looked like that once. About 3 years ago for a day when my mother organized it. It is not a pretty picture now.

Toni’s last blog post..Chillin’

Wow. Wish mine looked like that.
Sandy’s last blog post..OMG When will it end??

I love the newness of unpacking, it’s like starting all over again with a clean organized slate. Of course it all goes to hell in a week but what can you say?

Jean’s last blog post..Part IV Time For Some Preemieland Drama

I just cleaned ours out today so it looks nice too. The deep shelves drive me batty - like I can see back there!

Dawn’s last blog post..Kissing John Cusack

Do I spy some Meijer corn?

This pantry would make my husband cry like a baby.

excuse me..i have to go vomit now.

I cleaned mine out at Christmas time. It already looks like I haven’t organized it in a year! Ugh.

amy’s last blog post..Wordless Wednesday - Willow Wakes Up

I’m jealous mine will never again look like that now that two little boys live with me and know where the pantry is.

Kara’s last blog post..Wordless Wednesday ~ Who could call these angels monsters?

I noticed you don’t have any salad cream or spotted dick. Time to stock up that pantry!

Mama DB’s last blog post..American Idol: According to moi.

I love the smell of fresh organization.

amanda’s last blog post..Chaos: Emergency Rooms & Car Problems

That is just beautiful…brings tears to my eyes. You should look into pull out shelves. Our pantry is like yours and I have 3 pull out shelves (don’t ask me why I didn’t do the 4th…brain must have been gone that day!) and they are wonderful! You can see all the way to the back. If your husband is handy he might be able to do it himself. Mine says he can put the last one it but I have yet to see him do it.

Carrie’s last blog post..It’s all about the Wii

That is WONDERFUL and BEAUTIFUL!!! I love an organized pantry!

Stephanie’s last blog post..WW- Just like Daddy

That is so beautiful.
Really. Just beautiful.

Cathy’s last blog post..9 Months Ago

Oh…lovely lovely lovely! I see the Ovaltine (which always reminds me “A Christmas Story”.)

I see a stainless oven peeking there too….Target makes some wonderful stainless wipes that I swear by!

tommie’s last blog post..Thursday 13…..#31….the letter K

We’ll be house hunting soon ourselves and I can not wait to move just to be able to weed out the old and get ORGANIZED!
Organized cabinets are pure beauty
Mary’s last blog post..I was so mad I ate a cookie, or two or………

Ovaltine - YUM!

Jen’s last blog post..Super Nanny Kicked My Butt - Costa Rican Style

Jamie’s last blog post..Grunge Lives!

Mmm…I do that to my fridge every so often because the pantry is a lost cause.

heather’s last blog post..time to vote

Put that one in your scrapbook! I don’t think mine ever looked that good.

Marye~’s last blog post..Good Morning

That pantry is so beautiful it makes me want to reorganize all of my cabinets.

Jerseygirl89’s last blog post..Top Ten Reasons Why This Post Sucks

That is truly gorgeous.

Congratulations again on the new house!

janet’s last blog post..She makes me an offer I can’t refuse

Oh, it’s gorgeous! I LOVE unpacking in a new house for just that reason: everything is clean and organized for one glorious moment. Before it all goes to hell.

Stimey’s last blog post..Stupid Expensive Appliances

So neat, so orderly…wouldn’t last a second in my house.
To dream of neatness, of order…maybe when the kids leave home? Nope, hubby will still be here
Penelope Anne’s last blog post..Thursday Thirteen #23 ~ Parenting 101: Lessons of Life & Love

Oh, what a feeling!
It’s lovely, just lovely.
I absolutely can’t wait for that when we move too. It is one of the simplest pleasures one can imagine. Starting anew…

Keep your fingers crossed! We may have a buyer!!!

Mandy

oooh, looks great! Enjoy it while it lasts. Also, Ovaltine! YUM!

Devan’s last blog post..I hate you blogger & Not Miserable Monday

Nothing excites me like an organized pantry. Sadly, I’m not being sarcastic.

andi’s last blog post..I’m such a good mother

Feeling a bit OCD?

Hey you ever feel like organizing anything else, come over to my place. I’ve got Beer.

Phoenix’s last blog post..Wordless Wednesday: The, I wish I were there, instead of here in the snow addition

Thats like ‘Sleeping with the Enemy’ organized…but it a good way
Clink’s last blog post..outside the obvious

What’s that in the front? Ova .. what? I don’t think I’ve ever heard of that stuff. lol

I just shed a single tear.

Mrs. Mustard’s last blog post..At the whim of a benevolent dictator

Suddenly I find myself reminded of that Julie Roberts movie when she opens her cabinet to find freakishly organized canned goods.

Now I think I may need therapy for coveting such organized canned goods.

Queen of Shake Shake’s last blog post..Changing My Name from Queen of Shake-Shake

Dude, that’s like Sleeping with the Enemy neat. Freaks me out a little.

Make it dirty! Make it dirty!

Still freaked out though.

sam’s last blog post..Attention Span of a Three Year Old on Crack

Great! Now do you want to come do mine?

Only because I love you Jennifer am I saying with kindness to remove the apostrophe from “it’s” in your title.
You know how I am. I’m twitching!
