Kitchen update finished pantry

Our kitchen remodel is still moving along. Most of the big stuff is complete, we are just waiting on our new counter tops to arrive. Unfortunately I got the call today that they won't be delivered for three more weeks! 

So today I thought I would share how the pantry side of our kitchen is coming along and our new super duper pantry {can you tell I love it}!

When we started just a couple weeks ago our kitchen looked like this. 



The pantry was just too small and there wasn't enough storage for our family of five.


So we ripped out the entire pantry.


We also purchased new appliances and removed all the kitchen cabinets on the refrigerator wall.


My husband framed out our new much larger corner pantry.


He also installed drywall and hung new stock cabinets.


And if that wasn't enough work he installed our new pantry door and added crown molding to the cabinets.


Then I primed and painted the pantry wall.






I also primed and painted the inside of our pantry. I promise the color isn't as bright as it looks here. I used the same pretty yellow from our mudroom.

We then installed the track shelving.


This pantry is more than double the size of our old one. Being organized makes me happy!





I really really wanted to paint the pantry door an accent color, but the hubby said "no way". We agreed to paint the door black. 
Why yes, that is me in my lovely painting clothes!


And the biggest change of all...
painted cabinets
that took two long days to complete.
Just yesterday we added all our brushed nickel hardware to the cabinets.




So now we are just WAITING {trying to be patient} on our counter tops.

Still on my to do list 
-new light fixture over the sink
-new faucet for sink
-colorful accessories

I also have a future to do list  {after we take a breather and save some more money}
-new light fixture over table
-replace some of the door fronts with glass
-tile backsplash

Thanks for coming by today!

Spring shelf display

I've decided to take a little break from our kitchen remodel to get our house ready for spring. I spent the other afternoon grabbing items from around our home to use on my shelf. The cute printables I found on Pinterest, you can find them here and here.






I guess decorating for spring is wishful thinking because we got more snow last night and my kids have a snow day today!
Please come spring, I am so ready for some warm weather!


Have a great day and stay warm!
