We finished out the IKEA pantry today. After all the drawers and shelves were in, I started lining them Then I moved most of the food into the pantry. This opened up kitchen cabinets, which allowed me to organize the kitchen better. Once the food was out of the kitchen cabinets, I spent some time reorganizing the kitchen. I was also able to get some of my pots and pans out of the Odd Room and into the kitchen.
Here are some pictures of the assembly and finished pantry.








I am happy with how it turned out!
Wow, everything looks so neat! Congratulations on a job well done. 😊
(I have a feeling you are going to find use for all that cardboard pretty soon. 😆. It’s almost garden season!)

Thanks! I love looking at other people’s pantries and kitchens. I now have kitchen envy! I didn’t have kitchen envy at the house we had in Colorado. It was a fabulous kitchen.

Very nice. If it was accomplished without a single bad word, you deserve a prize. I cannot assemble IKEA anything without blue language that would scorch the shelves. I assume Miss Nox was inspecting to assure adequate space for doggie food and treats.

There were some bad words used. Then we watched a how-to YouTube video and oh that made all the difference.

He can think of it as a treasure hunt. 🙂

So true! I offered to show him where everything was, but he declined, saying he wouldn’t remember. He thought it would take figuring it out himself to remember where everything is.

Maybe you can leave little rewards for him so it will really feel like a treasure hunt. 🙂

The new pantry looks wonderful! Especially compared to our tiny RV kitchen cupboards!

Thank you! I am really pleased with how it came out. A small RV can be hard to figure out were every thing goes or what not to take.
