When we moved into our old farmhouse even though it had a giant kitchen one drawback was that there was no pantry. While a pantry was not a kitchen staple in the early 1900s when our farmhouse was built, I think it is safe to say that in today’s world it definitely is at least a borderline must!

I’m also fortunate enough to have a husband who was happy to assist me in making this a reality i.e., Nick measured, cut and installed the shelves for me. Haha. But it really is that simple.

Like I said, just measure cut and install the shelves and voila, you’ve turned a not so needed wardrobe into a functional pantry!
Now if I can just work on Nick to give up the pop…
