Hey, thanks for reading!
The decorative part is a bonus. I like to keep my pantry items in glass containers and add some decor to the pantry - but the main point is to pair it all down so it is easier to manage. It doesn't really matter if you items are stored in glass jars, or how pretty it is. Its about simplifying the number of items we have, especially the ones that do the same job - like sweeteners, thickeners, fats etc... I find it a lot easier to be creative and eat healthy when I take this approach.
It's worth mentioning that I'm not exactly a "minimalist" when it come to food. We grow and raise most of our own food, and we buy our pantry items in bulk whenever possible. The extra gets stored downstairs in our cold room.
