I am so excited to share the results of our organized pantry with you today. Two Tidy Tinas knocked it out of the park! Our pantry has a unqiue lazy susan, which you think would be helpful, but because it’s round, it’s vary hard to determine how to best fit square objects on it. Two Tidy Tinas to the rescue! Here’s the before–yikes! Keep scrolling to see the after photos–you’ll be amazed!
The Process
Two Tidy Tinas is organized from the very beginning. Once I knew I wanted their help, we discussed dates for the consultation and the install. They sent calendar meetings for those times along with guidelines of what to expect–how long it would take, what we would go over, etc. From there, they also sent contracts. I so appreciate all these details from Two Tidy Tinas! I love knowing exactly what I’m getting when I’m walking into something.
The Consultation
Matina came over for the consultation and it was about an hour long. We discussed the pantry and my pain points with it. She took notes and did very precise measuring. She had suggestions and offered ideas for me to consider.
These extra large and long clear bins are my favorite idea! They are actually intended to hold sweaters, but they function as drawers for all of our snacks. Instead of me getting down to reach the back, I can slide these forward and get something in the very back of the cabinet.
The Install
Matina and Kristina came over two weeks later to install their bins and organize all the items. They brought several styles that fit the space and I could determine which would function best for us; for example, the clear bins vs. the pretty grass hyacinth baskets. We initially were going to use both, but as the organizing progressed, the clear became the winners.
They brought over a large table so everything could be pulled out of the pantry. Kristina went through and got rid of out of date items. It can feel so good to purge the old stuff and I really liked having someone doing it with me (or for me!). Having someone else say “you need to get rid of this” is so helpful!

As the pantry was getting close to completion and looking so amazing, I asked them if they had any additional bins that would work for our utility closet on the other side of the cabinet. Y’all may remember that I did a quick and easy organizing job of this at the first of the year. I thought I did good; however, with Two Tidy Tinas‘ bins that fit my cabinets so perfectly, it took the utility cabinet to the next level of organization!

Why Pros like Two Tidy Tinas are the Way to Go
I consider myself capable of organizing a space. I don’t have every space done in our home, but for the most part, our closets, cabinets, etc are organized–or so I thought. Y’all, I want these two girls to come do every space in our home! I spent a total of just under 5 hours with them (1 hour for the consultation and just under 4 hours for the install), and I would have not come anywhere close to the organized, perfect results they created for our pantry. They have knowledge and expertise of creating systems, of every type of bin that exists on the market that could be a solution for the space. Do you know how much time I have previously wasted trying to find the perfect bins for a space? I should have just hired Two Tidy Tinas from the start and they would just know what is needed and save me so much time and money!

More Revelations
One of the best tips from the girls was that a label system isn’t for you, it’s for others. It’s for others in your household to follow along and keep the system maintained. It’s for when you have family and friends come to help you, heaven forbid, something go wrong and you need assistance with everyday life–anyone can pick up on the label system and it maintains itself.
