‘A massive thank you to everyone who gave me great advice on de-cluttering my butler’s pantry,’ the woman called Rebecca posted.
‘Here are some TLC and organising tips and now the space is much more functional and stylish.’
A butler’s pantry is basically a kitchen within a kitchen that allows preparation and for you to clean up after meals without actually dirtying your main kitchen.
Rebecca said she used lazy Susans from Kmart as a way to easily access highly used jars placed in front of each other.
‘I also put labels from Pretty Pantry Labels on my cooking supplies,’ the busy mum said.
Having labels on everything from flour to sugar, pasta and rice means Rebecca can quickly and easily see where each item in her home is.
The woman chose an on-trend pastel pink colour for her pantry makeover, spray painting many of her appliances that weren’t already pink
She also used $3.99 trays from IKEA (pictured_ for organising things like coffee pods at home
The mum also swears by $3.99 pink tubs from IKEA for organising things like coffee and tea bags, as well as jars from Kmart and Harrie Scarfe.
To ensure that her home was uniform and all matching, the woman said that she spray painted both her Thermomix and her ALDI coffee machine pink.
‘I also bought clear containers from Kmart for bread, snacks and onion and potatoes,’ Rebecca said.

‘Amazing transformation!’ one person wrote.
‘Looks absolutely beautiful. Great job, you must be very happy with the change,’ another added.
Some asked where she puts any of the leftover food that can’t be fit into jars, and Rebecca said she has soft containers from IKEA that she keeps in the cupboards below and fills with any remaining food.
Others praised her choice of pink for her appliances – saying it’s a ‘very on-trend’ shade to go for this year.
