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
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.
my cabinets are ridiculously high!!! oh my your grandmas pantry is what dreams are made of...pantry table for baking prep wow. also i am fascinated by mud rooms. guess it is kinda like an entryway? but sectioned off from main house... xo
@@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…
Ive really been enjoying watching your channel and seeing all the improvements and progress you've made!! I'm a minimalist and I always get excited when I see what others are donating and getting rid of so thank you for showing everything you plan to donate! I love the look and functionality of your kitchen space and I'm sure your family will love it too!!! Keep up the great work!
Looks great Carla, good job! Im worried though that you have all the heavy items, particularly the white enamel pot, on the top shelf. Make sure the shelf is well anchored. Looks good, though.
ohhhh i know. i didn;t anchor it but it is super weighed down with all of the stuff on it which makes it stable. hmmm not sure where else to put that thing bc it is pretty so love having it out!
Ive never had a pantry in my life; food always just goes in the cupboard. Now i live minimally, so a pantry is not needed at all:) Also, your kitchen looks amazing❤
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.
The Carla Project I think you look so much more fresh and younger WITHOUT pink lipstick! You are beautiful, for me even more without much makeup and more natural.
@@TheCarlaProject alright...then I like the nude much much more than the light pink lipstick 💄 on you. Do what you like, but I think you look older and it does nothing for you. (Hope it doesn't sound rude, I'm German and try my best to write understandable English sentences)
Congratulations to your decluttering process and even more to the weight-loss and getting healthier success ! I'm not as successful yet, but I'm on the way nonetheless.
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!
you're giving me a great idea about adding wallpaper on that one wall...i actually think that would look so lovely. and thank you i love the darker color of the lazy susan too 😍
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.
Yaaaaas You inspire me!!! I'm going to do this very same thing in my kitchen!!!! Love this fun video!!!! Just because it's a shelving unit doesn't mean it has to be filed with cluttered ugly stuff!!!!I don't have a circuit cutter machine so I will find other labels!!! 💕💕💕💕
I was literally about to post this comment that it was so satisfying watching you clean the cabinet when you wrote the caption on the screen. I say vase as vars!! I'm Australian and that's how we say it I guess.
I absolutely love everything, the wood and the glass looks so good! Love your spice jars so much, and the riser, I've got a flimsy one at the moment that causes me to have concern for the plates I put on it. My grandma had a walk in pantry, I loved how it smelt, and her house. I can't quite justify nearly $400 right now, but I want a Cricut as soon as I can. I can't imagine only having one cookbook, I have quite a few vintage ones, I'm going to look up your book though, it's obviously working for you. Congratulations on hitting 10K! X
thanks nicola!! love that you have vintage cookbooks i may add a couple to my tiny collection. also the cricut is on sale i believe for 250ish. i have the explore 3 and it's amahzing. have santa or someone get it for you for christmas 😍
Is there any way to add more wall cabinets over the stove and refrigerator? Maybe a built-in microwave with a fan. Or if not, open shelving for storage.
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! Thanks from cold and rainy England 👍🏻
I see the small appliance on top of the fridge. Would you consider putting it in a basket instead in the same location but to hide it and make the top of the fridge look prettier?
looks great, i love the jars and the labels. "Go to my snack box" could be a euphemism for something else 😜 Would love to see a cook with me so we can see how it functions while you cook.
Ok now I have to get my cricut out and do this 🤣 everything looks incredible. I love your tiny kitchen and I’ve mentioned the stove before but I love it too! Try some magic erasers on hard to remove scratches and gunk. They’re magic!
Those wall cabinets are extremely high, why are they not at the regular height? An open shelf underneath them would be beneficial to give you more storage space. I grew up in an English country house. We had both a pantry and a larder. The pantry was for only non food items - pots, pans, crockery, best china, table linens, etc. A larder is typically located on a north facing, exterior wall so that it is always cold. It would have open shelving up all the walls. The worktops would be marble or granite so that they too would be cold. We rarely used the fridge in those days because the larder maintained such a cool and steady temperature. I used to love going in there after school to see what my mother had made.
For the people like me who dont know what a pantry is: a small room or cupboard in which food, crockery, and cutlery are kept. Crockery = items like plates, dishes Cutlery = items like forks, spoons, knifes
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. 🤷🏻♀️
Yes it’s linked in the description box ☺️ I thought about putting a single shelf where there’s this gap by my upper cabinets. Might actually do that one day. I think it would look good and help with organizing❤️
I’m glad the dislike of stasher bags isn’t just me! They are impossible to clean and don’t even hold that much! Also, use Samson’s old dog food canister as green waste! :)
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 😸
ur right!! i always feel likei should be more stocked for emergencies etc but only so much space ya know...oh and the Cricut machine is AWESOME, highly recommend :)
Thank you for showing how the cricket actually works!! I keep hearing about it so now I know what it’s all about. The jars came out so beautiful- you did a wonderful job creating your pantry - I love it!!
This is fantastic! I've been looking for ways to downsize and make my kitchen more efficient. Love the idea of just keeping the stuff you use regularly in one spot and the overflow someplace else. Don't know why I never thought about doing this but now I want to go tackle my kitchen. I have tons of cupboards and drawers but they aren't being utilized in the best way possible
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!!!!!!.
This turned out really nice. I'm jealous of your oven with the cover. That's genius. One small complaint: when you hold the camera and move quickly - 3:39 is an example - it can give some of us a little motion sickness. While I like the organic nature of your filming, that movement just doesn't work for me.
Beautiful. From one west coaster to another, you might reconsider the Dutch oven location. Earthquakes. I'd hate for that heavy pot to go flying off the top shelf.
Try using a Scrub Daddy Eraser or a Magic Eraser for the scuff marks and grime. They work! Also, I have seen a few vacuum makers sponsor RUclipsrs. I bet Hoover would sponsor you.
I love the cute bottles but it’s hard because you don’t have instruction or expiration dates and then food shopping and refilling everything becomes a chore and then the pantry gets a mess… This is what I’ve seen as a professional organizer
Get so excited when I see you have a new video! You didn’t disappoint again, went hiking once teehee. Looks fab I do worry your shelves are not fixed to the wall but in saying that I’d be the same. I have an older microwave (I noticed yours as it’s top of my mind) I’ve placed it on the bench for easy access tho I think I may look to invest in a cute new one mine is like 15 years old! I think it will be an investment, in New Zealand we don’t have much selection does the states have lots of microwave styles? I’m left handed (my husband too) and you can’t get a right opening one! Anyway thanks for the videos you make me laugh and inspire me too. Wish you lived down the road so I could get you to do some labelling for me and we could take our dogs for walks on the beach. There was no Samson in this clip I just realised only his hair, gotta love them but the hair does my head in.
I saw Samson @4:00. Such a cute boy! You are both lefthanded...very cool. I think lefties look so awesome when they write...I taught myself along time ago to write with my left hand because I really like the feel of it. I once worked with around 20 people and half were lefties! Amazing! Sorry you can't find a microwave that opens how you need it to. One of my colleagues once explained all the issues products only made for right-handed cause. Phew! 2021 and it's still a problem SMH.
my microwave is ancient!! it still works so i will keep it til it dies. we do have so many options here for microwaves but yea never thought about how different it is if you are left handed! and yes samson is only peeking out in one moment haha but one day i will make it to New Zealand for sure💕💕💕
I so look forward to your videos 🥰 Edit to add: I 100% agree with you on the reusable baggies! They’re an amazing concept, but like you experienced, I cannot for the life of me get them completely clean. I’ve tried several different brands and they just aren’t for me. I ended up donating all of them.
Kitchen area is essential to have organized but it's hard too because if you cook on a daily basis you actually need quite a bit of utensils etc. Looks good 👍
You need to attach this white/glass shelf unit to the wall. It is not safe like that and it can cause some serious accident in the future as it was not made to be a pantry. Everything looks beautiful but please remember that safety first!
I love it!!! I love to see regular people pantry/kitchen organisation. I mean it’s nice to look at huge pantry closet makeover but It doesn’t help me to envision what I could do at home. Nice work!! It’s lovely 💖
It looks good… but what caught my eye is the beautiful vintage stove. I have major stove envy. I just stumbled upon your videos this evening, I will be doing a bit of binge watching tonight.
Grab my FREE Decluttering Workbook here: www.thecarlaproject.com/clutter-free ❤thanks for watching this weeks video leave a like and comment for me :)
Sometimes you need to live with a set up to see how to improve it and that is what you did. The result is perfect x
exactly!! this is better than post kitchen declutter. more efficient use of the space yay!!
Your pantry is a work of art - I want a Cricut machine now!
The pantry looks beautiful.

A really easy way to clean vases is to use hot water and denture cleaner. It does such a good job!
oh wow!
Looks like a French country pantry! Gorgeous.
you know the way to my heart!!!
Magic eraser for the wall😊

Wow, I loved that you were able to store all of your frequently used items on the open shelves and yet keep it visually pleasing to the eye.
thanks me too! wasn't sure i would like having the bottles out on the lazy susan but it actually looks fine and is WAY more convenient!!
I would like you to do a video on how you manage not to snack! I need to not snack!
lol i will do a what i eat in a day vlog, promise!
Ive never had a pantry in my life; food always just goes in the cupboard.

❤️ Kitchen pantry looks amazing. Well done.

Thanks from cold and rainy England 👍🏻
Same weather here in my part of Australia today, and for the week apparently lol. Keep cosy!
Sigh rainy England...my favorite! Thanks so much! 😊
would love some of that rain here!😄
Love it Carla!
thx loren!!
Can you please do a video about how you cook samson’s food?
I switched him back to dry dog food. That recipe wasn’t giving him everything he needed 🤷🏽♀️
Wow, great video. I really like it, the glasses with the spices are so aesthetic. Beautiful! I want to do that too :)
They’re so pretty!! Thanks love!
I see the small appliance on top of the fridge. Would you consider putting it in a basket instead in the same location but to hide it and make the top of the fridge look prettier?
No I use it daily it’s my microwave. Now I may get a new one but it’s not gonna make that big a diff imo
looks great, i love the jars and the labels. "Go to my snack box" could be a euphemism for something else 😜 Would love to see a cook with me so we can see how it functions while you cook.
💀💀💀 rachel!!!
and yes will add that vid to the list, great idea bc it is SO much more functional now!!

great job! don’t you think, collectively we should rebrand lazy susan? girl has done a lot: efficient susan? swivel susan? thoughts? 😊😊
😂😂😂
Love, Love Trader Joe's. I go when visiting my family in (Antioch) California. Love the kitchen pantry Beautifully decorated 💞💕Super! Great Job. 👍
damn it even your video is organised!
hahah that's what it feels like when i'm editing thanks for noticing❤️❤️
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.

It is really weird looking back because the house felt small(ish). I think because the rooms were very boxy and closed off. 🤷🏻♀️
sweetest memory ever!! i just love hearing this😍😍
Love it 🥰 I hope you included a link for the wooden lazy-susan. Have you thought about installing some shelving over the range or above the fridge?
Yes it’s linked in the description box ☺️ I thought about putting a single shelf where there’s this gap by my upper cabinets. Might actually do that one day. I think it would look good and help with organizing❤️
I am still watching but need to Just tell you.... Girl you look stunning in that blue color shirt
thank you thank you love!!
I’m glad the dislike of stasher bags isn’t just me! They are impossible to clean and don’t even hold that much! Also, use Samson’s old dog food canister as green waste! :)
ugh impossible to clean the little grooves that seal. drove me nuts. oh and love that i can use it for composting. done!
Am an old schooler I grew up with a walk in closet in the kitchen,in my day and being from the south we call it a pantry.
Love your videos.... you're amazing at what you do....simple and natural ideas
awwww thank you sooo much!!
Hear me out…open shelving/floating shelves on top of the stove ? 😊
i'm thinking of it!!
Keep it up!
Just wanted to say: you are so beautiful! :)
thank you sooooo much!💕
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 😸
ur right!! i always feel likei should be more stocked for emergencies etc but only so much space ya know...oh and the Cricut machine is AWESOME, highly recommend :)
💜💜💜💜💜
Thank you for showing how the cricket actually works!! I keep hearing about it so now I know what it’s all about. The jars came out so beautiful- you did a wonderful job creating your pantry - I love it!!
Thanks love!! Please show your pantry and kitchen in a vid soon...love your home!!
@@TheCarlaProject Thank you! 🥰I’m on it!!❤️
This is fantastic! I've been looking for ways to downsize and make my kitchen more efficient. Love the idea of just keeping the stuff you use regularly in one spot and the overflow someplace else. Don't know why I never thought about doing this but now I want to go tackle my kitchen. I have tons of cupboards and drawers but they aren't being utilized in the best way possible
Glad it was helpful!!:)
I love the end result!! Beautiful AND functional
Thank you! 😊
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!!!!!!.
It looks amazing. 100% improvement to your space. I have a small kitchen also. A good sort out changes everything.
it does!
This turned out really nice. I'm jealous of your oven with the cover. That's genius.
One small complaint: when you hold the camera and move quickly - 3:39 is an example - it can give some of us a little motion sickness. While I like the organic nature of your filming, that movement just doesn't work for me.
Thanks for telling me Carol I totally totally understand and relate w migraines and certain movements🙏🏾🙏🏾
In Chicago, we had a walk in pantry...many shelves and a little window....
We did too! It was a small, typical Chicago bungalow. The little window looked out to the back porch. Below the shelves were built-in drawers.
sounds HEAVENLY!!!
Beautiful. From one west coaster to another, you might reconsider the Dutch oven location. Earthquakes. I'd hate for that heavy pot to go flying off the top shelf.
Maybe the Dutch oven could be stored on top of the stove cover when not cooking?
hmmm could go on top of fridge maybe but microwave is up there...it's so pretty i love having it out 😄😍
Try using a Scrub Daddy Eraser or a Magic Eraser for the scuff marks and grime. They work! Also, I have seen a few vacuum makers sponsor RUclipsrs. I bet Hoover would sponsor you.
that is what i was needing...a magic eraser! oh and good idea about hoover!😍
I love the cute bottles but it’s hard because you don’t have instruction or expiration dates and then food shopping and refilling everything becomes a chore and then the pantry gets a mess… This is what I’ve seen as a professional organizer
was thinking dry erase sharpie on bottom of jar with the expiration dates...thoughts?
I don’t mind them but they smudge a bit and again the upkeep of filling everything is a project
You’re doing so good !!
That stove is absolutely fantastic.
I luv those glass jars 😳,I really luv your small place its so cozy...
thanks love!
I dont like that theres so much un used verticle space but its pretty
girl i used all the vertical space with the risers lol
Get so excited when I see you have a new video! You didn’t disappoint again, went hiking once teehee. Looks fab I do worry your shelves are not fixed to the wall but in saying that I’d be the same. I have an older microwave (I noticed yours as it’s top of my mind) I’ve placed it on the bench for easy access tho I think I may look to invest in a cute new one mine is like 15 years old! I think it will be an investment, in New Zealand we don’t have much selection does the states have lots of microwave styles? I’m left handed (my husband too) and you can’t get a right opening one! Anyway thanks for the videos you make me laugh and inspire me too. Wish you lived down the road so I could get you to do some labelling for me and we could take our dogs for walks on the beach. There was no Samson in this clip I just realised only his hair, gotta love them but the hair does my head in.
I saw Samson @4:00. Such a cute boy! You are both lefthanded...very cool. I think lefties look so awesome when they write...I taught myself along time ago to write with my left hand because I really like the feel of it. I once worked with around 20 people and half were lefties! Amazing! Sorry you can't find a microwave that opens how you need it to. One of my colleagues once explained all the issues products only made for right-handed cause. Phew! 2021 and it's still a problem SMH.
my microwave is ancient!! it still works so i will keep it til it dies. we do have so many options here for microwaves but yea never thought about how different it is if you are left handed! and yes samson is only peeking out in one moment haha but one day i will make it to New Zealand for sure💕💕💕
I so look forward to your videos 🥰
Edit to add: I 100% agree with you on the reusable baggies! They’re an amazing concept, but like you experienced, I cannot for the life of me get them completely clean. I’ve tried several different brands and they just aren’t for me. I ended up donating all of them.
ugh im glad to hear im not alone...was raving about them as a concept but they really do not work for long term use! thanks hun 😊
Great job with the make shift pantry. It’s always better to live in a space and see how you use it before you start buying storage pieces. 😊❤
I was nervous when I saw the curved labels, but the font, color, curve, everything with that bamboo color is perfection!! 😍
right!? it really works out!! thx sara!
Kitchen area is essential to have organized but it's hard too because if you cook on a daily basis you actually need quite a bit of utensils etc. Looks good 👍
Yes, you are so right...and i cook daily!!
You need to attach this white/glass shelf unit to the wall. It is not safe like that and it can cause some serious accident in the future as it was not made to be a pantry. Everything looks beautiful but please remember that safety first!
Wow! This is next level! I love how asthetically beautiful your pantry looks. The labels on the jars put this over the top! Well done!
Thanks so much! 😊
We had a walking pantry, it was equipped with the sink, Cabinets etc etc.....
I love your videos, Carla! Sending love from Canada
Thank you so much!!
I love it!!! I love to see regular people pantry/kitchen organisation. I mean it’s nice to look at huge pantry closet makeover but It doesn’t help me to envision what I could do at home. Nice work!! It’s lovely 💖
Yay! Thank you!!!❤️
👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💐
It looks good… but what caught my eye is the beautiful vintage stove. I have major stove envy. I just stumbled upon your videos this evening, I will be doing a bit of binge watching tonight.
Awesome! Thank you!
Nice transformation. Love the labeling!!!
I’m going to put this to use in my own kitchen. Thank you for the smart ideas.
