Our Pantry Makeover is complete. Call it crazy to clean out a pantry in the middle of a pandemic, but I'm getting stir crazy! It took at least a month to complete because I did what I could during the week and my husband did other things during the weekend. I have linked all the sources at the very bottom.

The pantry may be on the bit fancy side. Why else would it be anything less! LOL. It starts with this beautiful glass door and crystal knob. I used 2 coats of white wood stain with a clear glossy finish. I love that a glass door allows the entire space to feel bigger and give a view into it to show off the pretty wallpaper.
All of the shelves were built so it has a nice built-in look. Joe added wood to the floor and ceiling with rope trim to finish off some of the vertical shelves. The lower shelves are a great space for appliances and extra food storage.
The wine fridge was something I thought of when dreaming up the perfect pantry. Now was the time to put one in since we were custom building the shelves.
I wanted a pantry that could serve both as food storage, but also as a "butler's pantry." Joe added a cut out hole in the counter so that we could run an extension cord to plug in appliances like our bread maker or a coffee pot. We can also set this up as a beverage station for parties.
The pantry is both beautiful and functional. The wallpaper makes it so pretty in here and the shelves provide way more storage than before as they go right to the ceiling.
We are mostly a vegetarian household so you see a lot of grain/pasta storage. We also need our trash/recycling bins in here because we have a funny Airedale who likes to trash surf.
The under cabinet lighting is a pretty cool feature. We can dim them to several different levels and it creates wonderful ambient lighting. What's also cool is that it's motion censored with the wave of your hand.
The labels were made on my computer. I bought a special Font on Etsy and clear printer paper on Amazon.
The light fixture, with it's sea glass adds a little bit of a coastal feel.
The Carrara marble backsplash was pretty easy to install. We used a ready mixed Epoxy and a white grout. There were no outlets to work around and I bought a size tile that fit nicely with 5 exact layers. We made sure to check that the counter was level before dry fitting our tile. The backsplash has a matte finish, but the counter tiles have a glossy finish.
I hope you like it and inspires you to create the pantry of your dreams.
