Smart Pantry Redo
Having a pantry in the first place is a dream for many homeowners, and once the dream becomes a reality, there’s often still work to do. I’m still a novice room-transformer so doing a small room like a pantry seems like one of the most do-able room remodels to start with. Over at Honey + Fitz, Dina took a pantry that was large, but there was “nothing well planned or smart about this builder grade room other than it being big for a pantry,” and transformed it into a beautiful room. More importantly, the room is now well-organized and easy to use.
Decor Hack: Smart Storage Idea: Upright File Pan Storage
Dina made some really smart organizational choices in this room. I love her decision to store pans upright, separated by shelf-dividers, and to hang linens like tablecloths on a hanging towel rack. I need to use that towel rack hack in other areas of my home too — like in my craft room. It would be fun to see pretty fabric displayed that way!

Also notable are Dina’s use of chalkboard paint on a wooden crate to allow for quickly-labeled storage of odd items, as well as her brilliant Kitchenaid Mixer storage solution: she put the mixer on a rolling cart and turned it into a mobile “baking station.”

I am digging that awesome color of blue/aqua she put on the walls.
I recycled the pullout shelf from my broken dishwasher for lid storage in my bottom cabinet. The wheels on the shelf rolls easily out for easy access. Worked great!
