Other People's Pantries #171
From Carly (Perfectly Pretty), in Alberta, Canada:
I like keeping things in clear containers so I know what, and how much, I have. I also believe that storing things in airtight containers help keep them fresher for longer.

On Saturdays, for almost four years, we've peeked into Other People's Pantries. There are seven more pantries to share with you.
*I know that many of you love Other People's Pantries. I do, too. If you'd like this feature to continue, now's the time to send in your pantry photos, and ask your friends to share photos of their pantries. Here's how.
Market to Pantry alternates on Saturdays with Other People's Pantries. It's so much fun to visit markets all around the world. There are two more markets to share. So, please show us your favorite supermarket, farmers' market, ethnic market, big box store, vacation find or roadside stand. We'd love to see where you shop for food. Here's how.

It's beautiful in its simplicity, functional but also a work of art!

This beautifully organized pantry really appeals to me. (And I have those same bottles from Ikea!)

I love it, and I love the discreet labeling. Good things come from a kitchen like this!

Oh wow! I think this is my favorite pantry, so far. I love the idea of storing everything is clear containers. I also love the "General Store" sign.

I agree with what everybody said above - a work of art!
That is how my kitchen looks in my head - now if I could just make it a reality!

GORGEOUS!! Wish my pantry looked this nice. I do have the same spice rack as you (gotta love Ikea). Good idea to just write on the side of the jars. Do you use a dry erase marker? I have been trying to decide whether to use stickers, but this might work better. So far, I just have to remember what I put in them!!

Your pantry is a dream for me. I LOVE all the beautiful and matching containers!

Thank you so much for everyone's lovely comments and to The Perfect Pantry for the wonderful feature!
Milton, yes, the containers will hold a full cereal box, but only the small size ones.
And Tina, yes, I use a dry erase marker to label the spices.
Thanks again everyone!
