Day 250 - Clean Kitchen on the Way...


I have mentioned a few times on this blog, that we are building a new walk in pantry. Although I love the way our kitchen looks, I don't like its lack of storage space. As our pantry is now built and just awaiting some paint on the new wall, I have started the process of moving stuff into it, which is therefore finally freeing up space in the kitchen for other things. Finally I can see the bench tops again. Even Dale said that it feels like we have a brand new kitchen. Next thing on the list is to have the cupboard next to the dishwasher fixed. It is one of those baskets that swings out, but they seem to be quite useless. Light items fall out and heavy ones make your door fall off. One of the many things that will go onto my "to do" list for the holidays.

Day 184 - Pantry Underway!


Well we have a wall! Work began on the pantry this weekend and things are finally starting to look the way that I imagined in my head. Now for the plastering to be finished so I can paint it and then to choose shelves and get a door...

Day 169 - Pantry Corner to Be!


When we moved into our place about 3 years ago, I had the brilliant idea (yes I think I shall take credit) to build a walk in pantry in the corner of the family room, which is opposite the kitchen. Although we have a great modern kitchen, it is pretty low on storage and actually has no pantry. Anyway, the other week we finally bought all the materials. I am slightly disappointed because it was supposed to be started this weekend, but Dan (Dale's brother who is building it) and his wife have decided to fit in a trip away with their new bub before Dan goes back to work. I shall continue to organise it in my mind, meanwhile!

Day 156 - Pantry Dream Begins to Take Shape!


Well we have been talking about it since we moved into this house, but finally today we bought the materials to build a walk in pantry. Dale's brother is pretty handy in this kind of stuff and so they are going to start it on a weekend soon. I can't wait to have all the extra storage and get our kitchen sorted!
