I have always dreamed of having a mansion sized walk in pantry, but when you live in a 1700 sq. foot house, I quickly realized that was not going to be happening.
So I DIY'ed, a small scale, dream pantry.
First, let's take a look at what our pantry door looked like over the last 2 years...
When we first moved in:
When I decided I wanted to be bold:
When I decided less was more:
And now, my dream mini-pantry:
I found this door for $50 at a local antique shop. It was the perfect shade of blue, just enough to add a subtle pop of color to the space. We then decided to DIY a sliding rail for it using plumbers pipe, and casters for the bottom so we didn't have to install a track. I also purchased new baskets so that it would look more organized, and ordered a "Pantry" decal to go on the glass (I took this picture before I put the decal on!). It looks amazing and so much more eye catching that the plain jane door that was up there. I know it is nothing fancy, but it definitely makes me feel happy seeing this space. The whole project (baskets and all) was less than $125 and made a huge statement in this part of our house.
You can find the link here to the tutorial we used to hang our new door.
I will share more details soon about how I organized the pantry inside, but I couldn't wait to share this door with you all. Who else loves sliding doors but not the price tag?
