In my last “kitchen post”, I showed you how my husband tore our pantry down.
Many of you asked me in the comments where I was going to put all my food now?
I had to laugh when I started thinking about what my readers might be thinking.
My kitchen has gone from this….
To this….
Seriously, y’all?!
I’ve torn down all the upper cabinets AND removed the pantry!
You guys have to be thinking, “What’s that crazy girl gonna do with all her stuff?! She has no where to put anything!”
Well, I’ve got plans. (I know. Shocking.)
My plan was to put a longer, “shallower” pantry in the kitchen.
And guess what my sweet hubby did while I was at the Relevant Conference in PA this past weekend?
Yep.
He built me a new pantry. Just like I was hoping for.
The pantry is longer and much “shallower”. It’s going to look so pretty when I paint it.
Remember how much the old pantry stuck out? And how close it was to the island?
Now, I have a lot more space, and the kitchen looks more open. And this pantry makes much better use of the wall space. In the picture above, there was a ton of unused wall space to the left of the old pantry. Now we have put that space to good use!
We still have a lot more work to do. We have to finish mudding and sanding the drywall. Let’s just say that is a blast!!! {insert large amounts of sarcasm}
We will be adding wood to the ceiling and the floor. And we will be getting rid of that tacky, lopsided ceiling fan.
Guess what else my hubby did?
He added lights inside the pantry!
Now I can enjoy a beautiful glow at night.
I plan on covering the glass in the pantry doors with some type of film or material so you will not be able to see our food inside.
So what do you think?
Do you like it?
Do you think my hubby did a good job?
Can you see it coming all together?
Can’t wait to hear what you think.
