If you’re like me your pantry needs some extra storage space. Each time I walked into my pantry, I growled. I needed to utilize wall space but didn’t know how or what to use to make it work without looking hodge-podge. My handy-man Michael really racked up some big brownie points last Saturday by “fixing” my pantry dilemma.
We took a quick trip to a local home improvement store to purchase some shallow boards we could paint and nail in place. We happened into the wire storage systems department and found exactly what we needed for a fraction of the cost of board shelving! Thank you Lord! We chose a few ClosetMaid wall racks that were perfect for limited wall space such as ours. Installation was easy and went quickly. As soon as they were in place I had everything sorted and ready to fill up the wall racks! Because these particular wall units are nice and shallow, they worked out perfectly for my gazillion spices, and smaller canned goods, etc. We even purchased some little hanging basket accessories just perfect for seasoning packets and snack bars. Making this minor change freed up one full upper cabinet in the kitchen and allowed us to really organize our dishes and cooking utensils.
I love to cook and my attitude in the kitchen has really changed due to some simple storage racks in my pantry. Michael and I actually had a great time working in the house that Saturday. He doesn’t know it yet but my master bedroom closet is next. Oh honey, where are you?
