hi everyone!
the MARTHA tv show is shooting at my house tomorrow so i called the container store to help me spruce up my pantry and my desk.
they did an excellent job- even better than i expected.
they used pandan boxes on my desk and my pantry has tons of storage stuff like snapware which is housing my pasta.
the coolest thing though are these labels called erasable labels that you can rewrite on….so great.
here are the two girls who helped me… sharona and ashley.
ok…

Wow Jennifer your place looks great.I should hire those guys to organize my truck,but then I probably wouldnt be able to find anything.
How nice! As an organization freak, I’m obsessed with The Container Store. I had them do my closets last year and I’m so happy with it.
It looks great, but the bad thing is, it doesn’t last long. hope you can keep it up. I would end up with neat messy organization…lol
Good Job..doesn’t getting organized make you feel so great?!? When will your house be on Martha’s show??
Thanks so much for showing the before and after of your pantry and office. I love things like that. The boxes for paper look really nice. I have been trying to find something for my stationery.
Looks great! When is the show airing?? Can’t wait to see it!
I can see there was some wasted space in the pantry before, but it was still pretty neat! I think you’re being too hard on yourself! Now the real hard part is keeping it organized! Have fun today!
Jenny, What’s the MARTHA segment about? Is it a continuation of the preevious shoot at the station/Alexis’ house? Maybe you talked about it; I’ve been missing bigger chunks of the show recently, sorry 🙁
Rao’s sauce, NICE! Have you eaten there? Everything looks well organized, not that it was bad before.
Don’t show Alexis, she she will have an orgasm… LOL
It looks nice, but I give it a month and it will be a complete mess again.
It’s not in you to keep up that kind of organization.
If you did, you wouldn’t need a company to come in and do it.
you would do it.
Money to burn if you ask me…
Awesome! I love organization and I love the Container store! I don’t know what I ever did without them but I love to be able to hide my ugly junk in pretty boxes like that!!! Very nice Jen!! Please tell us when this Martha segment is going to be on? I don’t want to miss that one!
Jen,
I see you like Rao’s sauce as much as I do. Your cupboards look great!
how much??
All I have to say is, if we have an attack of some sort where we can’t leave our homes, you have ENOUGH food to sustain your family for MONTHS! Look at all those bottles, jars, and can goods. WOW! You love INVENTORY (like me!)
I am so JEALOUS!!! Love your pantry and office. I am surprised you don’t have some color in your office…
I love to organize, actually great therapy! Thanks for sharing!
Hi Jennifer,
Now that you feel organized…OOO what we could do to that office! We could have so much fun…It would be great before after photos too.
I can’t believe the crap you feed your children, skippy peanut butter is horrible. You should try making the all natural kind.
Good God, the things people say and seem to judge you by is unbelieveable. I wonder what their kids eat or what their homes look like. The world would be dull if we all lived the same or were the same. It just freaks me out what comes out of peoples mouths. Enjoy the differences of us all. What is all of judging about? Skippy, peter pan, homemade. Who really cares. Give your kids what you what like, leave everyone else alone. Don’t waste your time and think of something better to voice concerns over. Be SMART!!
The before picture really was just fine, my question is, what did they do with all the cases of water in the before picture.
The office looks so great, at least you know that will stay nice because the rest of the family will not rummage through.
The place looks great. Just like something out of a magazine. Hmmmmm. Only one comment. I’m sure you don’t even read these. Sister, you seriously need some color on your walls!
I live near you and was at the container store yesterday and someone asked about you and not the girls in the picture but another employee was snickering about you and it wasn’t very nice, (I told her she was unprofesional and then when I turned away she snickered about you and me) YOU just can’t trust anyone. Alexis is right you could of done all of that on your own, I think those spinning trays are ridiculous
B.F.D.
you actually paid for this, the only thing you should pay for is some curtains and paint for your office, how long have you lived in this home. It isn’t very lived in, WTF!!! why is everything white??
It’s a good thing (no pun intended) that you buy Skippy peanut butter and not Peter Pan peanut butter. We ended up with one of those jars with the prefix number ‘2111’, that the FDA recalled for having salmonella!
Where do you keep your bottled water now? I’m having a problem finding a space for mine that’s both functional and aesthetically pleasing.
I got a kick out of the hotel ketchup.
Jennifer, what the hell? I hope they kissed you because you sure got effed. All that stuff was neat enough before you hired the throw down twins to tidy up.
When you guys are on TV shows like this, you should add it to your site!
Maybe make a video section on the website and put clips up of all of your tv appearances!
Hi I love the pantry. I just had mine organized too. I love it. It is fun to keep it up and make sure it stays that way. plus you know what you have now and what you need. It is great. I keep a running list in the pantry. then when I go to the store i have what I need and It keeps you from wasting too.
oh please Daphne if that’s your idea of fun then I’d rather have a root canal. You should add puppy food to your grocery list.
You should of used all of the same color boxes and I hate to say it but not impressed, Martha or Lexi would have done better, you got taken to the cleaners if you paid for this shit, Judging by your desk system you tend to go for cheesy, crappy things, this must be a result of living in suburbia developments your whole life. Hate the whole Mcmansion thing you are all over
whatever oh please. It is nice to have things organized. you should try it.
Update: I thought it only fair to mention that the nice folks at Peter Pan peanut butter voluntarily mailed us a check (for twice the price of our ‘2111’ jar!) in consideration for any inconvenience that the salmonella scare might have caused. Well done…
