Home Storage Solution

Post by Scruffy and Tater on 9/7/2009, 1:06 pm

We don't travel much in the summer - too hot and crowded. So, we like to do projects..... one was a pantry for canned goods (in the house). We built wall pantrys similar to this one in two of our previous homes. Here are some photos:


Cut holes in a wall in the utility room and lined them with thin board. Our utility room was much smaller when this house was built. A previous owner removed a wall between the utility room and a garage storage room.... that's why there is a big gap between two sections - that's where the wall used to be.


Added trim and shelves. First we measured the cans to be sure they would fit.


Added doors - these were louvered bi-fold doors. We removed the hinges and installed cabinet hinges.


Finished!

Post script -
I know of a place in the trailer that would be perfect for a wall storage space. It's right by the door, and I'd put insect repellents in it. If anybody likes that idea and does it before we do, I want to see pictures. Actually it might take some pictures of a finished product in order to get Scruffy to tackle it. Laughing
