#TipTuesday: Empty your entire pantry and thoroughly clean it before you begin the organization process. Check expiration dates and toss anything that's past its prime or no longer in use. This will free up space in your pantry and help things stay organized longer. Consult with one of our designers for more helpful tips and schedule a FREE design consultation today.

Kitchen pantry - mid-sized transitional kitchen pantry idea in Santa Barbara

First the client and I sorted through all the items to check expiration dates. Sauces, oils, and spices were placed in a cabinet more readily accessible to the stove. The remaining items in the pantry were arranged by category: breakfast foods, rice and pasta, canned items, etc. There was additional space to place oversized items like cases of water, paper towels, and even a large crockpot.

This project's final result exceeded even our vision for the space! This kitchen is part of a stunning traditional log home in Evergreen, CO. The original kitchen had some unique touches, but was dated and not a true reflection of our client. The existing kitchen felt dark despite an amazing amount of natural light, and the colors and textures of the cabinetry felt heavy and expired. The client wanted to keep with the traditional rustic aesthetic that is present throughout the rest of the home, but wanted a much brighter space and slightly more elegant appeal. Our scope included upgrades to just about everything: new semi-custom cabinetry, new quartz countertops, new paint, new light fixtures, new backsplash tile, and even a custom flue over the range. We kept the original flooring in tact, retained the original copper range hood, and maintained the same layout while optimizing light and function. The space is made brighter by a light cream primary cabinetry color, and additional feature lighting everywhere including in cabinets, under cabinets, and in toe kicks. The new kitchen island is made of knotty alder cabinetry and topped by Cambria quartz in Oakmoor. The dining table shares this same style of quartz and is surrounded by custom upholstered benches in Kravet's Cowhide suede. We introduced a new dramatic antler chandelier at the end of the island as well as Restoration Hardware accent lighting over the dining area and sconce lighting over the sink area open shelves. We utilized composite sinks in both the primary and bar locations, and accented these with farmhouse style bronze faucets. Stacked stone covers the backsplash, and a handmade elk mosaic adorns the space above the range for a custom look that is hard to ignore. We finished the space with a light copper paint color to add extra warmth and finished cabinetry with rustic bronze hardware. This project is breathtaking and we are so thrilled our client can enjoy this kitchen for many years to come!

Risers are a great addition to any kitchen pantry and allow for the labels on items like canned goods to be visible so expiration dates can be checked. In addition, you will avoid purchasing duplicate items at the food store and know what items you have on hand.

This fridge was a classic case of chaos: groceries stacked without rhyme or reason, forgotten items buried in the back, and no clear zones for different categories. Finding what you need (before it expired) was a daily struggle. It was time for a fresh start—literally!

#TipTuesday: Because pantries are hidden from plain view, we tend to cram extras and impulse purchases in them, resulting in disorganization, expired food and general chaos. While it’s a good idea to have an overstock of things you regularly run out of, you don’t need extras of everything! Meal plan around what’s already in your pantry and stick to a grocery list that reflects what you want to cook.

We worked through the day to clear out and sort everything in the garage. Expired or unusable items were thrown out. We installed the Rubbermaid Fastrack for the kids bikes and got large, clear storage totes to group items together.

When someone cooks - I mean really COOKS - they need to have their food - storage items - and small appliances organized. Storing food so that you know what you have and can easily access it is a gift. Baking center / savory center / snacks / large stock pots / disposable storage . Everything has its place and is easily shopped for. Eliminate buying redundant groceries and use up products before they expire.
