My shelves are approximately 36 inches. I wanted to replace but was concerned about sagging in the middle after a little time. Thoughts? Is yours holding up well? Again, awesome work and thank you for sharing! <br />GaryGary Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14271522391967475286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-78382873141896831692014-12-21T16:55:34.891-05:002014-12-21T16:55:34.891-05:00I love the glass door, first of all.

While we are intending to move, in the meantime, I want it function and look good at the same time ;). The stenciling looks awesome as does the lighting. I am not sure I can get the hubs to put anything back where he got it so for me this may be difficult to maintain but hey, I am willing to try it! And if I toss HIS snacks in a basket, then all he has to do is put the basket back; may work!<br /><br />HappyCamperDnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-55279086135197782772014-09-11T11:14:07.230-04:002014-09-11T11:14:07.230-04:00If you look at the photos you can see the many can...If you look at the photos you can see the many cans of soup in the pantry.

I don't think this is very practical at all and defeats the purpose of a pantry - to provide meals without having to run to the grocery store fifteen times a week. Unless you count cereal as a meal, if so, then I guess it is OK on that one. So disappointing. iownfrodohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13767902907109086703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-50537056316701584632013-03-25T00:09:12.509-04:002013-03-25T00:09:12.509-04:00Looks so beautiful!!!

The stuff falls into the cracks and the supports underneath get in the way. We decided to redo ours with wood shelves a while back but have to finish other bigger projects first. Using the melamine is genius. No painting and easy to clean.

Amazing!<br /><br />You have such a beautiful house! I'm so jealous! I think I might try out the wainscoting/beadboard backsplash. I really want tile, but we just cant afford it right now. The beadboard might be just what I'm looking for, plus it's cheap enough that if I change my mind it's ok.<br /><br />Just a tip for the future though, don't glue down the shelves. Repainting around those shelves will be SO HARD!! I work as a professional painter, and I've done a few repaints with wood shelves in closets. One job in particular had wood shelves which had enough coats of paint to glue the shelves down in some of the closets. Those closets took SO LONG to paint.<br /><br />@MIMI2MADYLAN - I don't mind the wire shelves in some places either. We just put some up in our basement Laundry/Mechanical room. I don't care how they look since furnace and stuff make it pretty ugly by default. BUT if you wanna go with a solid shelf, I strongly recommend the melamine. It wipes down a lot better than wood. You can also get vinyl sheets that stick to your shelves. I think it's called Mac Tac? When the shelves get really icky, just take off the plastic and put down new stuff. It should be pretty cheap, I've seen the stuff at walmart and superstore, usually in the kitchenware section.Daniellenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-29876436145432445872012-03-08T15:21:24.373-05:002012-03-08T15:21:24.373-05:00gorgeous!

What are the ideal categories one uses? Here's my stash: baking goods,canned goods, pasta and boxed potatoes, cereals,crackers, cookies, candy, Boxes of Jello that never gets used unless a special dessert is prepared,potatoes and trash bags are in bottom drawer. Oh, there's paper products(foil,wax paper,ziploc bags, Press&Seal)<br />The cupcake liners should go with the baked goods but they are in another cabinet on a turntable. Spices in a corner cabinet that takes up a lot of space in one of those spice racks that I rec'd as a gift from son. Another cabinet has a large turntable effect and houses extra storage containers, portable mixer,Little Oskar food processor, beverage pitchers, gadgets not used often, electric carving knife.tea bags, coffee filters. Gosh, I think I need to pull all that stuff out and start all over. It's mind boggling..if I pull all that stuff out, it'll never get put back again..It's overwhelming!Betty819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-800576051051417292012-02-15T03:13:23.759-05:002012-02-15T03:13:23.759-05:00L-O-V-E your adorable new pantry!
