Redoing the kitchen pantry

Kim and I decided to try to get better organized to start out 2008. One of the first things we wanted to tackle first was the pantry in the kitchen. Is is 2 feet deep, and the shelves that were in there extended the full depth, which made it really difficult to see what was on each shelf. We went to the Container Store and got some of their Elfa shelving. Then we emptied the pantry, ripped out the old shelves, repainted the interior, mounted the new shelves and door racks and restocked the pantry.

We took some pictures to show our progress. Unfortunately, we forgot to take a picture of what the pantry looked like before we started, but here are a few while the project was in progress and how it looks now that we're finished.

Here is about half of the contents of the pantry spread out on the dining room table:

Here is the pantry with the shelves mounted as we got started organizing the spices on the door rack:



Finally, here is what the pantry looks like with the project completed:
