Pantry Purge

Is your pantry overflowing with jams, jellies, and homemade Christmas gifts that you have never even used? Well this was my mom's pantry that had accumulated several years of these gifts on the shelves and I not only helped her toss all the expired items (see pictures for some of the oldest), but cleared it all out and we decided what was going to stay, what needed to be donated, and what was trash. I covered most of the shelving with contact paper to cover old stains on the wood. This space can now function as a walk-in pantry again and even has empty shelving space for her to put actual food items on!
