POPtober #OXO

October 13, 2014 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 2 Comments

Hi Everyone,

Every season I try to do kitchen clean-up. You know throwing out expired food, getting rid of bags of food that is half eaten or stale and re-organizing the pantry to get ready for the next season. Since baking season is coming up, I was in desperate need of a kitchen pantry makeover. First I must tell you, my Husband has been re-modeling the kitchen and I do not have a pantry anymore. He moved my refrigerator to where the pantry was and in the spot where the refrigerator was, it was a big blank spot. So for the time being we decided to put up some shelves until we could finish that part of the kitchen. So you must forgive my shelves, their kind of warped and not so pretty. One thing about having open shelves is that my food gets dusty. We live in the desert and I swear I could dust two times a day and it reappears. So I teamed up with the container store and OXO to help me organize my pantry and to keep my food dust free.
OXO Good Grips Pop Containers
So my first accomplishment was cleaning the top shelf of my pantry. As you can see from the before and after pictures, there is a big difference. This shelf was a mess. It used to be my baking shelf, then everyone kept putting more and more stuff on top of it. Eventually it got to the point where I couldn’t find anything and made baking a nightmare.
Baking Shelf Before and After
What a mess huh? I emptied everything out, tossed a lot of stuff and told everyone to NOT put stuff on this shelf. The baking shelf even became a holder for mail, that is just not right! To organize it, I put all of my sugar and flours in POP Containers. These containers are amazing! They keep food fresh and with flat lids it makes it easy for stacking. I am all about conserving space.
Baking Ingredients
I even decided to use a little POP Container for storing my bread yeast and dressing seasoning packets. Holds them perfect and keeps them from getting lost.  Looking at this picture, it looks like my Knox Gelatin has expired.  I guess I should toss that.  lol
OXO packaged ingredeints
Then I decided to tackle the dreaded junk food cupboard. Lets just say that it became quite a mess. I found food that wasn’t even open that expired a year ago. What a waste of money. The reason I didn’t eat them? I couldn’t find them.  And look, I didn’t even fill my POP Containers.  That will never happen again.
Junk Food Cupboard
To organize the cupboard I used the OXO Cereal Containers to hold my crackers. I know it’s for cereal, but it’s great for storing crackers and other oddities. Plus my crackers do not go stale as quickly. Actually they haven’t gone stale at all because we could see them and eat them! 🙂
Storing Crackers
I found the little POP Containers were great for storing opened items, like my almonds. I love my nuts and I hate when I open a bag of them and they spill out every where. Not anymore, now they have there own place.
OXO container for Almonds
One of my biggest things is cereal boxes. I don’t eat cereal, but I do use it for topping on my yogurt and for grabbing a handful for a crunchy snack. I have two boxes of cereal in one container and I even keep a measuring cup in it so I can scoop and measure it. That’s my calorie counting side!
OXO Storing Cereal
You know the half open bags of chips and pretzel you may have stored. I open a bag, eat some and put it back in my cupboard and than forget about it. I had a small amount in a bag and I placed it on of the POP Containers and now I just pop off the lid and eat a few for my snack. So much easier and it’s cute too!
Storing Pretzels
Here is a picture of my cupboard after I stored my POP Containers. So much nicer and easy to grab stuff. My family even likes them.
Pantry after OXO
I really enjoy my cereal containers and I have a couple extra ones waiting to be used. I think I need to go shopping so I can fill my containers.
OXO Cereal Containers
I have to admit I love the Container Store! It’s one of my favorites and I can go crazy in there with all of the fun ways of organizing. Did you know that for more than 36 years, The Container Store has been offering innovative solutions designed to save space and time. No matter how clean, neat and organized we are, you can always use a little help!

POP Containers are available at The Container Store locations nationwide or www.containerstore.com

You can check out my Wish List of OXO Organization Tools on my Pintrest page.  There are so many great ideas there!  Even one for opening jars!  Who says I need a man in the house to open jars, not anymore!  Check out my Pintrest page and see what I found!

Did you know that you can enter to win a prize pack worth $500, including your choice of OXO Storage & Organization tools (up to $250), as well as a $250 elfa gift card. The giveaway will run from Monday, October 13th – Friday, October 31st.  Just go here to enter.  Good Luck!


I really had fun with this.  I spent a Sunday afternoon organizing my cupboards and two weeks later it looks the same.  Yeah!  I am so happy!  Once my kitchen is done I can really put my OXO POP Containers to good use.  I think they would be so pretty stored on my counters.  Oh and you know you can use them for storing other things like art supplies, beads, bathroom essentials, and I use the spaghetti container to store my paper muffin cups.

Have a great week!  Get organized and have fun with it!

Toodles,

Jennifer

    Sorry you have to put up with desert dust. We frequently have wind in my neck of the desert (Far West Texas), including at least a couple of months of dust storms. The dust is annoying, but I love living here, so I put up with it. Plus, nobody is giving me grief about dust on everything… 🙂

Happy Tuesday! I was outside early evening yesterd Happy Tuesday! I was outside early evening yesterday taking pictures of flowers and I felt a shadow flying around me. I looked up and there a Monarch butterfly. 
🦋
I don’t see Monarchs very much, I was delighted when I saw this orange beauty flying around. It landed on a Zinnia before it took a rest on my Butterfly Bush. Isn’t it beautiful? It made my day. It’s the small things.
🦋
I highly recommend a Butterfly Bush in your garden. The flowers come in a range of colors from white, pink to purples. They do well in zones 5-9. The flowers smell amazing and bloom all season. They are also a great butterfly attractor and fairly easy to grow.
🦋
Do you get butterflies in your garden?

🌸
I’m still working in my dining room and I wanted to share my new reversible sign that I got from @krumpetshomedecor. It’s a beautiful 24x9 sign that I thought it would be perfect in my dining room. 
🌸
I love sitting around the table with friends and family and tell stories, laugh, play games and have a good time. I thought the side of the sign that says “Enjoy Every Moment” was perfect.
🌸
The sign is the Krumpets Home Decor deal of the week and you get an additional 10% off with code: PBANDP. Link in my bio.

Happy Thursday! Last week I cleaned my bedroom and Happy Thursday! Last week I cleaned my bedroom and boy does it feel so nice to have a clean room.
💕
One of the things I added was my new bedding that I got from @lushdecorhome. Let me tell you, it is so luxurious. This is the 3 piece Belgian Flax Linen Rich Cotton Blend Bedspread. It is so soft and gets softer with each wash. 
💕
I have a tall bed and the ruffles just reaches the floor. The bedding is filled with cotton that gives the bedspread such a comfy feel. The bedspread is perfect for the summer, as it is lightweight, but warm enough to keep you cozy in the winter. The set comes with two pillow shams and the bedspread. It also comes in 4 colors. 
💕
I love my new bedding, it’s so feminine and simply beautiful. I couldn’t be happier. Swipe the photo to see how happy Sully is on the bedding.

I updated my little corner by adding some pops of yellow. I just love adding yellow and I love adding lemons. Speaking of lemons, how cute is my little “Hello Sunshine” pillow is from @krumpetshomedecor.

Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime ta Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime tablescape with @JCPenney + #AllAtJCP + #sponsored +#ShoppingIsBack but you know how I love still photos better. I think you can really see the details of the decor.

💛

I am loving how simple, fresh and light my tablescape feels. It’s the perfect look I was going for. When the idea came for creating a tablescape, I was unclear of what direction I was going for until I shopped at JCPenney. I walked around the decor department and was completely inspired. They had so many styles and colors that would inspire you too.

💛

I saved a highlight of my shopping trip to JCPenney. You must check it out. I’ll be honest, I was blown away by the styles, quality and prices of there store. I will be shopping there quite frequently and you know I will take you along my journey.

💛

What is the style of your home?

💛

PS. Everything on my table is from JCPenney and it is the Linden Street Collection.

Happy Thursday! This week is just flying by, which Happy Thursday! This week is just flying by, which is okay by me. Yesterday I worked on my bedroom and it feels so good having a clean bedroom. It was a chore that I needed to get done.
🐾
My inspiration was my new pillows that I got from @downlitebedding. The name of the pillow says it all “Ahhhhhmazing™ down alternative pillow” and they are amazing.
🐾
The pillows are so soft, plush and are hypoallergenic. They are easily molded so you position your neck, head and arms. The pillows are also washable and OEKO-TEX® Certified Textiles Are Certified Free Of Harmful Chemicals. 
🐾
I’ll be honest, Downlite Bedding are the only pillows that I sleep with. They are fabulous and will last for years. I highly recommend them. They won’t disappoint you. Downlite Bedding was nice enough to give my followers a 20% off discount code to there shop: DYGEN20. 
🐾
Do you sleep in your stomach, back or side?

Hello! I have to tell you that I love summer. It’s my favorite season. I love the sun, hot weather, shirts and flip flops. I could just spend all day outside.
🌻
One of my favorite things to do in the summer besides gardening is going to the Farmers Market. There is something about the atmosphere with people walking around with bags in hand, the smell of kettle corn and everyone is so happy. 
🌻
Besides the atmosphere, you can’t beat the freshly grown produce. It’s mind blowing how different it tastes, then what you get in the store. You almost forget what a strawberry is suppose to taste like until have it at the Farmers Market. Plus you are supporting your community. It’s a good feeling all around. 
🌻
I highly recommend going to the Farmers Market and pick up so corn. Soooooo good!! Stock up on your fruits and veggies and freeze it for winter.

My beautiful “Summer” cutout sign is from @krumpetshomedecor and it’s also the deal of the week. You get an extra 10% off with code: PBANDP. Link is in my bio.

🌸
I’m sharing with you my last photo of my peonies. I’m so sad that they didn’t last. I got about 6 days from them. I guess that’s means I need to go to Trader Joe’s and get more before peony season is over.
🌸
Do you have any summer vacation scheduled this year?

Happy Monday!! It’s back to work for me. I’ll Happy Monday!! It’s back to work for me. I’ll be counting down to my next vacation, which will be the week of the 4th of July. I will tell you, it felt so nice not having any plans and doing work in the garden.
🌻
This weekend I finally made it to the Farmers Market and I picked up these amazing sunflowers. They are such a happy flower. 
🌻
When I got them, I couldn’t resist doing a flowers in the sink photo. I haven’t done one of these since Fall. Now I may have to go back to the Farmers Market next weekend because they had so many flowers and most were only $4.00 a bundle. 
🌻
Do you you like to go to the Farmers Market?
