Our last kitchen was brilliant coz we designed it to suit us. Now this kitchen is a much nicer looking kitchen, but it’s smaller & the pantry has been a challenge since day 1. Firstly it’s a triangle??? & secondly they just didn’t use the space to the best advantage. Last week I’d had enough, & announced the pantry was the next project, so that’s where some pine & a tin of paint came in.
Before: what a mess!!!!!
Then you look to your left & see… a blank wall. There’s only a couple of inches behind the door frame but enough space to put a shallow shelf that will hold tons of stuff.
Such fun living off the dining room table for a week.
The old shelves with a lick of paint, finally banishing the one very poorly applied coat of ‘builders’ paint.
The new shelves in place.
After: all sorted. Woohoo, spiffy.
btw the blue looks quite sedate in the pics, it’s really quite bright, a little brighter than I intended, but it’s certainly a huge improvement.
One more project to tick off the list. What will be next??????

Wow Jan, this looks great! When we built our house eleven years ago, the builder tried to talk us out of a walk in pantry. Well, I can tell you it was the best thing we've ever had. Our daughter & grand daughter are moving out next week and the pantry will be the first 'room' to get a super clean out. I can see we will be living off the dining table too!!!
What a huge project! You've done a fabulous job, although I think you need to cook some cakes to finish off!
Walk in pantrys are great fancy the builder trying to talk you out of it, Sweet Pea! It's nice to get it all emptied & sorted. Having moved last year there wasn't much to throw away.
Julie, Rowan made a chocolate cake yesterday afternoon. He cooks something every Saturday coz Emma usually comes down on Sundays.
