Mum-of-five uses budget items to create her dream pantry – complete with perfectly arranged storage containers, personalised labels and an epic cereal station

  • An Australian mum has shared how she neatly arranged her butler’s pantry 
  • Kerry said she’s been waiting two and a half years for the pantry space 
  • She arranged the area using containers from Kmart, IKEA and Woolworths
  • The organised space captured the attention of thousands of others online 

An Australian mother-of-five has offered a glimpse inside her incredibly neat and tidy pantry, which she arranged using affordable containers and labels.

Kerry created her ultimate walk in butler’s pantry for her family-of-seven after their home renovation was completed.

The kitchen space features perfectly aligned storage containers, personalised food labels and items placed in its own categories, ranging from canned goods to pastas and grains of all shapes and sizes. 

Posting images to the Mums Who Organise Facebook group, Kerry said she’s only recently organised the pantry after a home renovation was completed

'It turned out exactly how I envisioned it two and a half years ago, now all I'm waiting on is the butler to appear,' she captioned the social media post

WHAT PRODUCTS WERE USED?  

‘It turned out exactly how I envisioned it two and a half years ago, now all I’m waiting on is the butler to appear,’ she wrote in Mums Who Organise Facebook group. 

The kitchen is 3.2m long by 2.4m wide and the storage containers are from several different stores including Kmart, Big W, Woolworths, Cheap as Chips and IKEA. 

The pantry has been arranged into different categories on separate shelves, including pasta, oils and vinegar, cereal, spreads, breakfast, bread, snacks and spices.

One unique container that seemed to capture the attention of others online was the $29 cereal dispensers on the kitchen bench besides the toaster.

Kelly also made each label herself using a Silhouette Cameo label maker, which likely would have been a time consuming process.

‘The used by date is written on the bottom of the container in a liquid chalk pen that doesn’t wipe off unless it gets wet,’ Kelly said.

‘The cabinets are from IKEA, the benchtops are from Bunnings Warehouse and the flooring is from Solomons Flooring Trendtime Six.’

The kitchen was also designed with enough space to fit a sink and designated areas for kitchen appliances.
