Pantry Redo!

The pantry space has been on our to-do list for a LONG time and we are excited that it is finally a usable organized space. When we purchased the house, the washer and dryer were located in the pantry and we knew immediately that they needed to go. They were moved into the garage, but then we were left with an open space with only a few cabinets for storage. 

We decided to use what we had on hand - random bookcases and DVD racks - to create a make-shift pantry until we could invest in a more permanent solution.

Our pantry is a little unique in that it has a mess of water and power lines running through the back wall. In order to reduce the chance of hitting something during installation, we decided that the Elfa shelving system with one track that mounts at the very top of the wall was the way to go. 

First things first - demo time! We removed the cabinets and built in shelves from the wall, sanded, puttied, and prepared for paint.

Thank you mom for painting our pantry while we were at work one day so that we could get it installed in one night! As Kyle said "Elfa is like legos for adults" and we had fun putting it all together.

Luna even has her own treat drawer so we are all happy with the new pantry space!
