Pantry Overhaul |
Today im so excited to share with you a little project I've been dreaming about for some time now. "My Pantry Overhaul" A well organized pantry can make life so much easier. I've been dreaming of custom built in shelves since we built our home. Our builder installed the wire shelves which worked good but over time have started to droop due to heavy canned goods and heavier items. A few months ago I was on a mission to find a carpenter who was skilled and reasonably priced to take on the job. I had a friend give me a great referral and Im so glad she did. One evening I sat down in front of my pantry and designed a lay out I had invisioned. I knew I wanted the middle shelf to look more like a "counter top" so I could have some extra counter space to utilize. I also invisioned a couple outlets added to plug small appliances in and a clean and simple backsplash to finish it off. From there I mapped out and measured a spot for my cook books, canned goods, taller bottles like olive oil and dressings. Also vertical slots to put my serving trays and cookie sheets in without them falling over on me. From there my vision came alive... |
