If you’ve read some of my other posts, you know I have a thing for organization. In my house, no bookshelf goes unstyled, wardrobes are color-coordinated, bins are labeled—everything has a home. And now my food pantry is perfectly adorned with beautiful crisp white bins and seagrass baskets, each filled and labeled for easy access.
This project has been on my list for about a year and I’m so excited to have finally crossed it off the list!
I must admit, I didn’t do it all on my own. My husband helped with installing the new shelves which we got from Home Depot. He replaced the standard wire racks with white faux wood boards. Since Home Depot doesn’t sell a closet kit with white boards, my husband cut each piece to be customized to fit our pantry. He also put a fresh coat of white paint on the closet walls.
After the shelves were installed, it was my turn to swing into action with my organizing skills. I love when I can utilize my bin obsession to the fullest. I’m talking labels and everything!
I also took this time to clean out my pantry by separating foods I didn’t want and foods that could be thrown out, if expired. You can take any unwanted food to your local food pantry or shelters.
Check out how I organize my food pantry below, including what bins, baskets, containers, labels, and shelves I used.

Hi! I’m Meagan and I’m a 41 year old mom of a high energy almost 9 year old, happily navigating my way through the little boy years. I’ve been married for 14 years. I met my husband over 20 years ago in high school; we got married 10 years later after graduating from the University of South Florida. I currently help run a family business with my parents while blogging about my life and love of DIY projects!
When I’m not at a kids sports game, I enjoy spending time with my family on a beach anywhere. I also love decorating and organizing, fun DIY projects, bargain shopping, and eating out or in! I also love Barbecue anything and a good show or movie on Netflix.
My kitchen could definitely use an organization make over! I love how chic you’ve made your shelves — they’re cute AND easily accessible.
The wicker caddies and labels are awesome. My pantry is such a mess.
I just did this to my pantry and I can’t express how GOOD it makes you feel. It sounds silly but I used to get frustrated every time I went in there and now it’s a happy place!

This looks so beautiful. I’m soooo jealous! I want to redo our pantry. Maybe after my husband is done painting our kitchen I’ll get the motivation to use these ideas — I love the white bins and natural baskets.
This looks so awesome and organize. I would love do this. Thanks for sharing.
I just did a whole clean out of my pantry and used some of these items! It looks so much better now!!
I need this in my life. My pantry is a mess. I love the baskets and how you label everything
