Just stopping by for a quick update on my kitchen organization mission. I decided to start out with the the pantry, mainly because I've been pinning almost every pantry picture I could find on Pinterest. That and the fact that I brought home groceries and couldn't fit them into my pantry.... I couldn't take it anymore, I had to get my pantry whipped into shape!
This is what it started out looking like...
I was almost too embarrassed to show these... almost. :) It was really bad. As you can see in the last pic, the toaster had even fallen off the shelf. (actually I didn't notice that until now or I would have picked it up for the pics)
So last night and into today, I took everything out to have a clean slate to work with.
The clean slate for the pantry meant a not-so-clean kitchen. How does that much food fit into that little closet?!?!? I guess the good thing about doing a project like this is that you have to finish it pretty quick!
I was going to leave it white, but it turned out to be really scuffed up, so I decided to paint. I also decided that after almost 2 years in my house, it was time to take the tags off the shelve, ha ha.
So, I cleaned the shelves, removed the tags and painted. That's as far as I've gotten. Here it is with 1 very splotchy coat of paint. It will definitely need another coat.
I have something special in mind to finish up the paint job. (You didn't think I would just leave it tan, did you?) Be back later with more updates, but for tonight, I'm settling down for some TV.
