Can I be honest with you? Cleaning out and organizing my pantry was not something I was looking forward to. I knew it would be a big job and, to do it justice, would require a lot of work.

The bottom two shelves are for food and the top three shelves have been used for decor such as large vases, entertaining pieces like cake stands/displays, and cookbooks/magazines.
