Scroll down on the post and there are 2 pictures of the pantry - well, that was a year ago, and it's not exactly the same. I keep tp in my closet and the kitchen supplies under the kitchen sink, laundry supplies in the laundry room, bathroom supplies in there. What's in the pantry is pretty much just food and things for making/preserving food.
That way, I can shop out of our supplies and try to keep stocked up. It saves a lot of time and money.
Yours is lovely!!!
