Do you have room, a closet, a garage or any other space in your home that you would love to have organized? Maybe it\u2019s bothered you for a while but you haven\u2019t had the time or desire to spend countless hours pulling, sorting, cleaning and organizing this space? Well, you\u2019re not alone!
\nSpring is the perfect time to look at the rooms and spaces in your home and determine what needs to be organized. Or if that seems too overwhelming… and you don’t have the time, you may even want to hire a professional. Here we share the journey of one of our team members who decided to have a professional help organize her pantry, for the very first time, and the tips and tricks she learned from the organizer herself!<\/p>\n

Here is a photo of her pantry BEFORE Karin Ferris, Professional Organizer in Central Oregon<\/em>, came into her home and worked her magic.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Before<\/a>
\nTip from the Professional<\/strong> \u2013 “First make the decision you want to get organized. Then take all of the stuff off the shelves and lay it all out.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Here is all of the food in the pantry laid out on the counter.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Next, they cleaned up the pantry.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n 
\nTip from the Professional<\/strong> \u2013 “Make sure you have a place for the items you want to donate or toss. You\u2019ll want to decide want you want to keep and what you want to toss.”<\/em>
\nThen, begin to sort whatever it is you\u2019re keeping into categories. This was the most interesting part of the process to see what categories they ended up with! Karin\u2019s comment was that, “Every job is custom, due to the different categories you will end up with, it will change the labeling, size and type of containers you use for the various categories.”
\nTip from the Professional<\/strong> \u2013 “When you\u2019re organizing a pantry. Take your food items out of the box. If it\u2019s possible the item might go stale- wrap it in a zip lock bag to keep it fresh or use clothespins (they make great sealing clips for bags). Taking items out of the boxes and packaging, as soon as you get home from the grocery store, will create MORE space and allow you to see the items better.”<\/em>
\nNext, as you’re sorting and putting items into their categories, sort the items that you use most frequently and put them in a place where you have the most ease to access the various items. If it\u2019s easy to use your newly organized space,\u00c2\u00a0it will help you stay organized in the long run.
\nThen, label your containers by category, put them back in the pantry and voila! You have a super organized space.<\/p>\n

Here is her pantry AFTER the experience, nice and organized!<\/strong><\/p>\n
