I haven't had a problem with the lids at all, though I mostly store grains and beans in them, so not things that would get quickly stale. I did have an unfortunate bug infestation once, but it was from pantry items in plastic bags, nothing in jars. Those cookbooks squeeze out a lot of things. Mine breed in the night, I'm sure of it!

I'm with you on old houses and tables in the kitchen...I have a circular table with two fold-down leaves butted up against a wall in my kitchen, with one leaf left up. It came from my husband's grandmother's kitchen. There's a small TV, a lamp, a large breadbox, and a basket with all the little things I always need and can never find: Post-Its, small notepads for lists, tape, rulers, thin wire for this and that. I used to have a ratty old armchair in there as well--it was always the favorite seat in the house--but had to give it up for one of those chrome shelving units to accommodate my ever-expanding cookbook collection.

There is nothing more exciting about moving to a new place and starting over with a new-to-you cooking space! I moved in the last few months and am still excited about my new counter space and full wall of shelf space in the pantry! I love that you posted about your new kitchen.

Isn't it amazing how much a different sunshine makes? Thanks for your kind words!
