I loved some aluminum bins I spotted on Pinterest that Beneath my heart had hung on the wall and knew they’d be the perfect solution for a blank wall in my pantry. I found these large aluminum beverage tubs at Michaels recently:
To create holes for hanging I took a large nail and punched 2 holes in the back of each tub about 10 inches apart:
Once the holes were punched I used them to mark the wall and then used a level to make sure the hole marks were at the same height. Then I used matching aluminum screws to attach each bin to the wall:
The top bin holds “unopened snacks” like chips and pretzels…..and the bottom two (that Boo can reach) are snacks that are open and ready to eat!
Many more posts to come! I’ll show you shelving, tips, electronic storage etc in my new series:
Make sure to check out how to make the chalkboard labels….free template downloads included:

so cute! I wish I had a pantry that I could do something like this in… maybe in my office closet or my laundry room. Love it!

Oh, I love metal storage bins. And what a great idea to hang them for organization! And the labels look darlin’ on the bins. Can’t wait to see what’s next!

I love using every bit of space in my pantry as well. On my wall I have attaached magnetic spice racks for storage. (I attached the link) I have 24 on my pantry wall to keep them out of direct sunlight. My labels for them are not very pretty though, I will have to incorporate your chalkboard label system instead.
