Organized Pantry

I *finally* organized our pantry!  The before photos are embarrassing, but I'll post them anyway...and they aren't even accurate depictions of what it looked like because Gary had already cleaned some of the shelves off!!  Mortifying.




I didn't take a "before" of this side of the pantry because not much changed- I like all my canned goods on display and easy to see, even though it's not as pretty as having it all tucked away out of sight. ;)

These bins with the little dip in the front are IKEA Pluggis bins...
All of the rest of the white bins are IKEA Kuggis, and they all come with lids...

These big Kuggis bins are great for hiding junk...I tend to accumulate tons of party supplies, paper goods, etc., and I hated that it was all over my pantry!  I also always have a lot of extra baggies, plastic wrap, etc...

These are also IKEA...I'm not sure if they have a name, the label just says IKEA 365+

The baskets on the floor are IKEA Bullig.  I keep things like dog treats, disposable coffee cups, Solo cups and flours/seeds...

And here is what it looked like before I labeled everything- I actually love it because it's so clean looking, but I had to label the bins with lids, and I wasn't sure that Gary and the kids would even be able to figure out what is supposed to go in the open bins without labels. ;)

Fire Pit

This might be my favorite area- I love it!

Grass area next to the fire pit...

Turning the corner and looking towards our side yard and fence that hides the pool equipment...

Balls!

They installed the concrete balls on the fire pit pillars- I love them! We also got 2/3 of the cushions (apparently there was a bit of a misunderstanding as to how many cushions we need).

Cabana

The cabana is finally getting done! The posts are finished and ready to be painted...

And the back wall is done and ready to be painted- they did such a great job with the paneling!

Balls and Covers

The concrete balls for the firepit pillars finally arrived but still need to be installed...

And the automatic pool cover is going in...

A White Wall

I don't think the photos do it justice, but painting the ugly brown wall white has made a HUGE difference! It looks a million times better!
