Pantry World

What to do whilst waiting for little Sebastian to come home, why build a pantry of course.
Ok truth be known the pantry building was planned before Sebastian's arrival with the folks coming over for my birthday, a early Christmas and for me to utilise dads tools and skills in building a fully fledged pantry to replace our shelving unit. A unit which was custom built some seven years ago for a totally different house and space, it has served us well and will continue to do so - but now as storage shelving.

Before

Thanks to dad for lugging his tools all the way over and his hard work on the wall/door frame and getting me started on the shelves.
Thanks to Ann for being my slave girl in holding shelves and for all her crazy sanding and first coat of paint on the walls.

Dad chiseling out the door hinges.

I'm extremely happy with how it turned out, now that it's all painted (two coats) it looks awesome. Of course it isn't totally complete with a door handle to go on and door to be painted at some point, but it is definetly usable.

All painted up and ready to be filled

Now for the fun part of re-stocking it, working out what to put where (the fun part).

Oh and of course the iminent trip to bargain bulk shopping at Costco :)

The pantry somewhat stocked, now to go shopping.
