exactly!! this is better than post kitchen declutter. more efficient use of the space yay!!

The pantry looks beautiful. Love your channel Carla, as someone who is not American I really enjoy your calmness and soothing voice, sometimes it's hard to watch some American youtubers because they go so overboard, almost feel fake, with you I feel a sense of sincerity. Being a minimalist for 7 years was the best that happened in my life, I don't follow the astetic part (I like colour and European cottage romantic) but the change in the lifestyle is amazing, more money, more time, less cleaning, less stress don't follow trends, don't care what people think of me, now I follow my own path. Kisses from Portugal, by the way Carla it's a very common name in Portugal. 💋

Thank you so much!! I am right there with you..Aspiring to a minimalist and simplified lifestyle but the aesthetic is really not for me. I love color and pattern and textures way too much!! Love the way you described the lifestyle though it is all about freedom for me. I hope to visit Lisbon next year! XO

Elbow grease is the best cleaning tool we have. I really like how you’ve shown being sick and tired of being sick and tired of extra stuff. Also baking soda to clean walls is brilliant! Thanks for showing your declutter process.

oh thanks so much augustine!

Carla, it looks soooo pretty and efficient. Okay those cabinets are so high up - that would be too difficult for me to function - I’m 5’2”. When I was young, my grandma had a pantry room where she stored all of her dried goods. She used to do the baking prep (mmm breads and pies) in there too on this huge pantry table that had pull out drawers to hold bulk flour, sugar, and her spices. I always wanted a pantry room like hers. My father has the table now and the room was later transforms into a laundry room when my grandmother received her first electric washer and dryer. Sadly, my house is too small for a pantry room but I hope someday to build a cupboard for pantry items in my mud room/laundry room. -Time will tell.

@@TheCarlaProject A mud room here is a room we step into once we come into the front door of the house. I live in Canada. Winters are so cool that we get inside quickly, then we take off our big coat and boots in a wee room off of the foyer. I have my washer and dryer in there, but I’m hoping to make a floor to ceiling cabinet where my small appliances and “stock” of canned goods, and paper goods can live. That way, I can use my kitchen more efficiently with my “must use” items. When I saw what you did with the shelf in your kitchen, it had me thinking that maybe I could set up something similar for in there and free up much needed kitchen cupboard space for my “at hand” items, plates, and glassware. You are a wonderful inspiration Carla…

Also I love the honesty with the hiked once haha!

That was very satisfying 😀 Like another commenter, I find your voice and manner very easy to get on with 😀 No pantries or laundry rooms here in my 1960s box in the UK, but I’ve managed to clear out enough “stuff” that I don’t need to use the top shelf in my cupboards which is great cos I could never reach it anyway 🤣 I love the wood-and-glass vibe you have going on!

just watching this again to inspire me (im actually cleaning my studio while I watch) and YES my grandmother had a walk-in pantry! I loved going in thee when i was little. She often had fresh baked goods on a kind of shelf/nook, cooling. I couldn't reach the light switch so it was a little dark in there. So fun! I have one in my own house. Sometimes I sit in there while I have an afternoon tea! Is that weird? BTW ONE cook book?? Ive got about 40!! Hmmm maybe I need to declutter some??? But I LOVE cooking and having dinner parties!!!!!!.

Well done on the pantry! Walk-in panties are not really a thing in Europe nowadays, however my mom lives in a building from 1920 and she has one, and I have to say these are not that great if one has tendencies to hoard items, it can very cluttered very quickly because you simply lose sight of what is in there. I think having cupboards is better. I feel you with cleaning the walls, actually ordered some magic eraser sponges (melamine foam) today to do something about mine because sure as hell I'm not going to repaint in winter. Maybe you could try one of those peel&stick vinyl wallpapers behind your shelving unit? I've heard these are easy to wash and renter-friendly. Finally, random thought: that lazy Susan is beautiful, such a gorgeous colour of natural wood. Well done on the project!

Wow, so cute and organized! Love those jars and I want a Cricut machine!! I had so many places without a pantry. I never thought to get shelves but mine would’ve been a hot mess. We bought a pantry cabinet with doors for the place we’re in now. It seems like every time I know someone with a big pantry, they have way too much food and can’t remember what they have so they keep buying the same stuff! Yours is efficient and chic 😸

I love your glass jars with wooden tops. They turned out so cute with the lettering as well! I have a square basket with lid very similar to yours. I bought it for supplements. I love all your wood cutting boards. And I especially love your shopping tote/purse.. You definitely freed up some cabinet space. I have a lot of spices too.. I use a hanging rack like you have in your closet for all of mine. It works great and frees up a lot of cabinet space. I don't remember any of my friends having a walk in pantry when I was little. I guess maybe a linen like closet that kept some canned goods etc. Ours was a combo of games/and canned goods and chips. At one friends house they had a bar area and a refrigerator with all pops and drinks that I thought was cool. We have a neighbor that has a butlers pantry with an extra dishwasher, refrigerator and tons of storage. It's pretty dreamy.

The pantry looks so pretty!

The house I grew up in until age 12 had this huge closet for a pantry. It was like 6 feet wide with a bunch of drawers and some shelves. To give perspective on the size, my best friend and I would climb the drawers to the top that served as the first shelf. We would sit on that shelf and eat snacks and talk. It is really weird looking back because the house felt small(ish). I think because the rooms were very boxy and closed off. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Your shelving looks great. You’ve done a really good job tackling one area at a time in your home. I grew up with a pantry closet. I think every home I’ve lived had a pantry closet. Our home for the past 35 years has a small walk-in pantry closet. We also have corner carousel cabinets (built-in Lazy Susans with two shelves). The upper cabinet holds our spices, oils and vinegars. They’re grouped by like items with labels on the shelf edge to identify the grouping. We arrange them loosely alphabetically within their group. The bottom carousel cabinet is a sort of baking supplies cabinet. It holds flours, sugars, etc. plus the coffee canister and a mini food processor. 👍👍

I remember when you first did your kitchen clean out and when I saw you revisited it, I said this girl is on a mission and she knows what she about! Sometimes people think it’s a one time approach to de-cluttering and re-organizing your life or a space, but it’s just like you did, it’s continual. You live in the space and see what makes it better. And I also like that you didn’t do the minimalistic route of bringing your item count to 1 or pieces, because you’ve realized in this particular area of your living space it’s not practical. So kudos to you- your space is aesthetically pleasing but it’s also functional and livable.
