Ten Minute Pantry Refresh

Yesterday I showed you how I made my cooking and baking life easier by taking about 30 minutes to paint the back of the pantry door with chalkboard paint in order to make a measurement equivalents chart.  The little project I’m sharing today only took about 10 minutes and has definitely been logged under the why didn’t I do that sooner category.  
10 minute pantry refresh - wrapping paper backed cabinet
You kind of have to squint to see it in the picture above, but I backed the cabinet with wrapping paper (that I picked up in the dollar spot at Target a year ago).   This was totally one of those hmmmmm-what-should-I-do-while-I-wait-for-the-pumpkin-cookies-to-bake projects.  There are a lot of those kinds of projects at this time of year (I’m addicted to pumpkin everything!).  
Is it weird that I now look for reasons to open the pantry just to look at the pretty pattern?

I used thin command strips (the kind you would use to hang a poster) to adhere the wrapping paper.  
It’s funny how something so silly and small can brighten your day.

And P.S. Justin’s almond butter is legit – just sayin’.   
It may seem silly to “decorate” a pantry, but I’ve found that when I take the time to make an organized space – cabinet, drawer, closet, whatever – pretty I do better job of keeping it organized.  And when it’s a matter of just 10 minutes –  why not? 
Have you done any 10 minute projects lately?  What helps you to stay organized?  Are you guilty of doing random projects while you’re baking too?   #pleasesayyes

  • Love this! It seems like every time I open a cabinet, drawer or closet to get something, it turns into a 10-30 minute organizing project. I have that wrapping paper too!

  • I love that pretty little detail! I think it's worth the effort to make something lovely if you spend a lot of time in a space. Why not? I painted the inside of my pantry white a couple years ago and even though the shelves get banged up, it just feels SO much cleaner and nicer now. I love the chalkboard idea too for labeling! So smart!

  • Looks great! I recently organized my pantry and love it. I can't decide what color or pattern I should put on the walls and if I should do anything to the shelves. The wrapping paper is a great idea. Hmmm… Hopefully, before Christmas I will decide, lol.

  • Love your pantry makeover! It's amazing how good an organized pantry can make you feel.
    I used that same paper to back a couple of my kitchen cabinets a few months back. It really added some character to our kitchen.

  • Love it! I bought that same wrapping paper back when Target had, didn't know what I was going to use it for at the time, but it was too awesome to pass up! (I ended up using it on our command center on the side of our fridge.)
