I’m so excited to be joining the One Room Challenge this spring. I am finally giving my pantry a makeover! The pantry has been a mess for a while, I’ve tried organizing it a few times but the lack of shelves makes it nearly impossible to keep clean and organized. Most of the times things would just end up on the floor.
