  Ugly pantry before.

When we moved into our home almost 7 years ago, this room was the laundry room. It's right off the kitchen and I never liked how the laundry spilled into the entry way and kitchen. So we decided to make it a utility/pantry. But I always referred to it as the "trash room," because that's what it looked like. It was well overdue for a change! So I teamed up with the awesome folks at Keim Lumber & decided to design my dream farmhouse pantry!

• 

  This room was messy, cluttered and not easy on the eyes!

•

• 

  I sketched up a vision for this room to make it more functional and pretty!

• 

  I forgot to snap a picture before we took the half door down. We could always see into this messy room from the living room and I hated it.

• 

• 

• 

  We started by taking down the metal on the walls and removing the cabinet.

• 

• 

• 

• 

  Once that was all done, we started to install the faux shiplap!

• 

  I wanted that shiplap look but not the price tag, so we used 1/4" luan plywood to achieve that look for less!

• 

• 

  The luan plywood was ripped down into strips and painted white.

• 

• 

  We installed it by nailing it to the studs.

• 

  So happy with how it turned out!

• 

  We updated this old fixture for a more modern look and better lighting.

• 

  This one with the daylight bulb changed the lighting dramatically and we love it.

• 

  The faux shiplap made a world of a difference.

• 

• 

  We decided to keep the water lines for the washer accessible in case we ever needed them.

• 

• 

• 

• 

  My brother in law built me the custom cubby I wanted for small appliances & baskets for organization and storage.

• 

  Then we added a custom top that will match all the floor to ceiling shelves.

• 

• 

  Time to install shelves!

You guys!!!! I can't even with this amazing pantry of my dreams!!!!! I honestly cannot believe it is the same space!

When I started to put things back in the pantry, I kind of just wanted to leave it empty it was so pretty. I think Chip & JoJo would be proud.

I think my favorite part of the pantry renovation are these swinging doors my husband designed & my brother in law custom made for us. They are so much better to look at than that half door we had before!

I am so in love with our kitchen and pantry reno! The kitchen renovation details are coming to the blog next!! So look out for those!
