Another Pantry reveal...
I had hoped to get some “in use” pictures for my daughter-in-law’s pantry but she has a toddler and a new baby so THAT’S not happening!
The only pictures I have are from right before and after I stocked a few things in it …but the transformation is AMAZING!!!!
First, go HERE to check out the “before” and a few “in process” pictures.
Reconfiguring the spacing of the shelving gave them so much more usable space. We also made the “focal” point of the room aesthetically pleasing which is super important when you keep the door to your pantry open most of the time!
I use my pantry as an extension of my kitchen because I don’t have a lot of upper cabinet space. Making it “pretty” encouraged me to keep it clean and organized. When a space doesn’t work for you it’s easy to just toss stuff in there and cleaning it can be a frustrating process!
So here are a few “after” pictures of their pantry.
Since the door is usually open we kept the“focal point” pretty and simple.
Finding pretty baskets to fill with goodies is always a process…gotta love Amazon’s return policy!
The open space in the base shelf on the left is for the dog food bin…
The built in wall cubby is perfect for boxes of storage bags, plastic wrap and aluminum foil, spices, fabric shopping bags, etc. A great “flex space” for what would normally be wasted space.
You can see they added under shelf lighting…I put a plug in the right side of the appliance tower for just that purpose.
The shelves in the appliance tower are the only shelving I made adjustable.
The outlets to the right have USB ports for easy charging of tablets and phones. Before ,those items took up counter space in the kitchen.
Just reconfiguring the shelf spacing made a HUGE difference…and adding a “counter” made the space flexible and functional.
Their pantry space is much larger than mine, but as I point out when I reconfigured my pantry, even a small pantry can be made much more functional!
And again, make any space pretty and more functional and I promise you will be much more likely to keep it clean and organized!
