The pantry makeover is done...one happy girl!


This is before the makeover.
Not so bad but not so good...
Check out what we did.





















I think I am in love.

Yup...I am..for sure...


This is one happy girl!
So happy I even posted a picture of myself...
it seems like that is one of the unspoken blogger rules...
not to post your own photo...
well I am delirious with joy of an organized pantry!

Here is how we did it...
Took down all of the shelving.
Put up bead board across the back.
Put the shelving back up.
Added white wood to top and front of shelving.
Went to T.J Maxx and bought containers and such.
Went to Michael's and bought oval balsa wood tags...
painted them with chalkboard paint...
attached them to the front of the wood shelving and on the baskets.
HAPPY!
I have one more thing to do...
I am painting a sign for over the pantry that says...
Farmers Market.
I will show you that when I get it done!
HAPPY!

Hope you all have a HAPPY day out there in blogger world!

Love and Pantry dreams,
Tracey

  11. Nice job! I really like how you covered over the shelves. It really bothers me that nothing sits right on the rack like shelves. I may have to invest in covering them over like you did!

  12. Hello pantry neighbor! :) YOurs turned out GREAT! Love your fruit and veggie baskets!
    Sorry if my background was messed up when you visited...I've contacted the girl that did mine, but no response yet. :( I hope she can fix it, I LOVE my background!
    Thanks for your kind words on my pantry re-do...it sure feels good to get that done doesnt' it?!
    Oh and by the way, I have some serious weather envy...I saw your beautiful blue sky...we have 4" of freshly fallen snow on the ground and it's 18 degrees. Brrrrr!! I wish I was at your house! lol

  17. Lovet the organized pantry...I may have to tackle my own...and love the labels. My husband makes fun of me and my label maker but I'm OK with it! Also just read your 2011 challenge---what a great idea. With kiddos life flies by so quickly. Mostly I look around and think where did the last month go????? Intentional living. That's our church's motto and it's a good one!!!

  18. I love your pantry, but I especially love that you broke that unspoken blogger rule! Funny how we feel weird posting our own picture. I fel that way last night. One day in the fall, I took a picture of myself getting highlights and posted it. Very uncharacteristic for me, but kinda freeing!

    Can't wait to read more of your posts!

  21. Ok... I am looking back at your pantry makeover because I am so frustrated with my pantry. I have a corner pantry, so shelves are L shaped and things get lose in those corners. I can't seem to get it functional. I have big appliances in mine plus a ton of food!!! Oh, how to make it all fit and organized.
