New Pantry

This is my under the stairwell Pantry. I hate it! I'm always bumping my head or hurting myself somehow in this cramped space. It makes me crazy. A week ago, when I was over at our friends Gabriel and Melissa's house she said to me..."we made new shelves for our pantry!" I was so impressed by what an awesome job Gabriel had done, I asked him would he make some for us. He was immediately on board to help us out. I was so excited! Even though the weather was not helping...rainy and freezing cold, he worked non stop to complete our beautiful custom built shelves in his very cold garage. Thank You Gabriel...I LOVE them. And thank you to Melissa for helping your hubby and keeping his measurements straight...lol!

I took everything out and filled the holes and painted it the same color as the majority of the kitchen walls. I hate painting...not my forte. I like giving the orders and having other people paint...lol! But, since I'm not going to pay anyone to do it I'm doing the scut work and painting. But, I feel proud of myself for a job well done.

Here it is when I finished painting. I love the color..it's called Med Mocha.

Here they are. Gabe...you did an awesome job!!!

Aren't they beautiful!!! I love them!! Better than I imagined!! There are actually five shelves. A small one on the very top but, I can't get it in the photo because I'm backed up against another wall.

I was even able to get my small appliances in there. I have so much more shelf space since he extended the bottom shelf to wrap around the back wall.

I'm still looking for bar and hooks for my broom and mop to go on this side of the pantry. I need a trip to Ikea...lol!

I'm so happy how it turned out! It looks more uniform and cohesive. Gabe...your the man!
