Can we talk?

Does your cabinets get to looking like this?

Or does it look like this?

I spent the entire afternoon working on this pantry.  I did take everything off the shelves.  And while it may not look greatly improved, it is.

Now I have questions and would like any and all responses.  I may not reply back to you, but I will appreciate any and all feedback.  (Roger has a doctor's appointment tomorrow so I know we will be gone at least 4-5 hours.)

Anyway, what I want to know, does your cabinets stay neat and tidy?  Most times, within two weeks you wouldn't know this had been touched.

And how do you keep from hiding stuff behind other things?  On the canned goods side, things are together now, but they won't stay that way for long.  I would be so much simpler if things did not get mixed together.

Also, how do you keep your brown sugar from getting hard after it is opened.  I always have a problem with that.

And then there is the plastic bags.  I use them for small trash can liners, but have got to come up with a better solution to storing them.  I have been shoving them in a bag, and that is in a bottom cabinet.  And they just take up space.

Well, that is all I can think of right now...I think there was more I wanted feedback on but for the life of me I cannot remember what right now.
