Pantry Organization Update
Melissa has a drool-worthy pantry for sure. The countertop and cabinet space in her walk-in pantry make this area almost like an accessory kitchen. She's able to house a coffee and smoothie bar there.

Walk In Pantry Organization Ideas
Even when our pantry looks organized, it doesn't mean that the space is actually working well for you. That's what happened to the blogger behind A Bowl Full of Lemons, and that's when she decided to make some changes. Because the truth is that organized doesn't always mean functional.
By going from a space that looked great because all the bins were uniform, to one where she has a variety of different bins, baskets and shelving, she made the space work much better for her family, and easier to find things in a pinch. And it's still really good-looking, right?
