16 Items You NEED in Your Pantry or Cupboard- COCOCOZY

March 10, 2023
  • Share

I’ve been thinking about spring cleaning. While scrolling through my camera roll, I realized I have photos of my friend Linda’s pantry from her new kitchen remodel. Then it clicked! This blog is all about items that I have, want, or need for a kitchen pantry or cupboard. I included everything from organization essentials to trending food items. There’s nothing more satisfying than a beautifully organized pantry. Some of my favorite brands and retailers include The Container Store, Pottery Barn, and Overstock. They offer a variety of storage solutions and stylish items to make your kitchen more efficient. Regardless if you’re a culinary extraordinaire or just a home design enthusiast, investing in a few pantry essentials will change the way you navigate your kitchen. See my favorite picks below.

Large Turntable

Every pantry needs the basics. That includes a lazy Susan. This clear large turntable can easily be placed inside a pantry. You can fill it with different snacks, spices, or any other pantry items you might stock up on. The best part is that it rotates. So it’s easily accessible.

Divided Bins

A great way to organize packages is with divided bins. It’s great for stacking items in a neat and tidy way. These containers can easily be moved around and can even be used in the freezer! Bins make it easy to organize tools, food, and other necessities. The clear bins are great for visibility when looking for supplies and specific food items. I included both large and narrow bins for every sized space.

Rattan Cubby Pantry Baskets

Not interested in plastic supplies? No problem. These rattan cubby baskets are versatile. They’re made from rattan, which gives them an organic and luxurious appearance. You can use these baskets to store everything from pantry items to table linens. The handwoven design adds a touch of rustic charm to your kitchen and pantry space.

Small Appliances

A large pantry can prevent kitchen counter clutter. A panty or cupboard can hide away slow cookers, steel toasters, and cake mixers. As much as well all love small kitchen appliances, they take up a lot of counter space. That’s why a pantry can hide them away when they’re not in use. Shop Overstock‘s best-sellers below.

Food Containers

One of the easiest ways to make a cohesive pantry is by using matching food containers. Food containers are great for saving space and can help keep food fresher for longer periods of time. For an even more uniform look, you can add custom labels. Shop the containers below!

Towels & Linens

A pantry isn’t only for storing food and serveware. It’s also a place for storing table-setting accessories and linens. Empty out a shelf for napkins and dish towels. Make sure it’s accessible for daily use and when you’re entertaining guests. Check out my favorite linen napkins and disk towels.

Stock Up On Snacks

Now that you have organized your pantry… it’s time to fill it up with your favorite snacks, ingredients, and other kitchen supplies. I added two of my favorite black-owned food companies. Partake in a delicious cookie company founded by Denise Woodard. The perfectly crispy cookie for anyone with food allergies. And if you’re a lover of pancakes and waffles then discover Vicky Cakes is a delicious savory mix. Cortney created a business that highlights her mom’s delicious pancake and waffle recipes that she made for her family.

Don’t Forget A Step Stool

Everyone loves a pantry. But trying to reach that top shelf isn’t always easy. That’s why it’s essential to have a step stool nearby. Especially, if your top shelf is full of important items. A step stool will give you quick access to all of the items that you need to prepare your next meal.

Another look at Linda’s pantry.

I have so many pictures after touring Linda’s kitchen. I didn’t have enough room in the last blog to show off her beautiful pantry. The area is used for dishes, appliances, platters, and more. All the stuff you don’t reach for every day is now safely stored away in her pantry. If you’re looking for kitchen inspiration, then check out Linda’s before & after kitchen remodel.

I hope this helps you get organized!

Met with some buyers, had a fun time with the Welspun team, then capped off the weekend with a visit with friends. It is a long process to get bedding in stores across the country...showing the collections at textiles market is one of the first steps!
If you're interested in learning how I have gotten @cococozy products into stores around the country over the years including in major retailers...follow along...just one entrepreneur's journey. :)

Today is my birthday but...I don’t want to celeb Today is my birthday but...I don’t want to celebrate...I want to help.
I want to make a meaningful impact in our greater Los Angeles community suffering from the fires. I invite you to join me in transforming birthday wishes into support for one local organization on the ground in Pasadena/Altadena.
I have made a contribution today already to the LA Fire Relief Fund created by @victorybiblechurch in Pasadena. They are actively assisting families in need in both Pasadena and Altadena who have been affected by the devastating Eaton Fire.
Although I don't have a personal connection to Pastor DeCuir or the church, I was searching for an organization that is helping in the Altadena area. A well respected civil rights attorney I follow @leemerrittesq is on the ground helping the church members and community members with legal services in the wake of the fires. I hope by contributing to their efforts, we can extend a helping hand to those facing significant challenges during this difficult time
To donate, please visit their website at https://vbcpasadena.org/ (link in bio as well). Every contribution, no matter the size, brings hope and relief to those who need it most. Tell them you heard about them from me.
Your generosity to the Los Angeles community is the best birthday gift I could ask for.

Happy New Year! 🎉✨ As we step into this freshHappy New Year! 🎉✨ As we step into this fresh chapter, I’m reminded of the beauty of starting anew and I like recommitting to goals at the top of the year. Nothing set in stone but just an overall vision of what I'd like to do and who I would hope to help along the way.
This year, my mantra is: **dream big, act boldly, treasure the small joys, continue to lead with kindness and to have as much empathy as possible for others **. Just a few things...😂
I’m also deeply committed to helping people who follow along to achieve their dreams. I'll be curating captivating interior design inspiration with COCOCOZY that will hopefully give you ideas and dreams for your own space. I will also be empowering you to realize the value of your influence with Chirpyest by earning cash back for sharing and shopping. I hope to be open about the journey of the COCOCOZY product line. I want to share real time behind the scenes how the line is being built and how we are growing Chirpyest; both examples of the not so linear journey of building businesses from the ground up. I hope these stories spark you to push your own boundaries and shake out of your comfort zones.
Lastly, in 2025, I’m committed to surrounding myself with people who have a positive vibe about them while striving to be that same light for others. Luckily, I have a great start on this with an amazing family and fantastic group of friends - a fantastic support network.
My wish for you in 2025: May this year bring you clarity, courage, and the confidence to pursue all that makes you happy.
What’s one thing you’re committing to in 2025? Let’s inspire each other in the comments! 💬❤️
Let's get to this...am ready 2025!
