My new pantry is Pinterest Perfect. Well, except for the fact that it doesn’t have a light, yet. We used melamine for the shelves. A tad pricey, but their Formica like boards will make cleaning up spills easy. The distance between the shelves is based on our pantry ‘stuff’, like the mixer and the big bottle of gin.
It doesn’t have a door yet either. Well, that is not actually true, it does have a door, it is just not installed. The door we bought at Earthwise, an architectural salvage store in Seattle for $35. It is currently being painted by My Loving Spouse in our ‘old’ laundry room.
The problem with painting in cold weather is, well…the cold weather. The temperature needs to be about 50 for the paint to dry properly. We explored all kinds of solutions before turning the old laundry room into a ‘paint studio’ of sorts. Emptying the laundry room, causes the mess in the living room to continue to grow.
The best part is that when we are not making a mess, we are making progress. Each piece that goes together, shows the kitchen coming together, just as we’ve dreamed.
Seriously, we’ve dreamed (and are dreaming) of it done, but still we know, that we are indeed blessed.
So glad to watch the progress.
Thank you, Jim. It was great to see you!
How cool to find your pantry door at an architectural salvage store! I just located one in SD and will definitely check it out for our future remodel – love having eclectic and interesting pieces rather than a “cookie cutter” style – thanks for sharing a great idea! Your pantry looks awesome! so nice to have everything organized…
LOVE architectural salvage stores…never know what little thing or big thing, you might find! Great to hear from you, dear friend!
Gorgeous pantry! Is it in alphabetical order??
Well, as we are the two worst spellers in the world, it wouldn’t help!
Love, love your creativity, determination & hard work. An inspiration to us all! Hoping for a new kitchen & small pantry in this next year, wish Ron & I had your & Pats mad skills!❤️
I hope you get it as well! We do seem ‘mad’ sometimes. Almost all of it is two steps forward, one step back. Much love to you friend!
Hooray, for progress and a beautiful pantry! I love how you remind me to find the blessings in every day!
Thank you dear friend! Looking forward to coffee soon!
That stove has a big smile on it! It knows it will be cooking soon!
Thanks you Terri, if we get the gas folks out it could have a Thanksgiving turkey in it!
Love it!
Thank you Dear John!
