We have an L-shaped pantry, and we always hated the wiring shelves. Small stuff seemed to wiggle around and food particles just sifted through the gaps. I previously did a master closet, removing all wire shelves in favor of wooden built-ins, using IKEA solutions, and I liked the idea of removing more builder grade wire shelves. For this project, I wanted to try my hand at a fully custom set up, building everything from scratch.

I built can/spice storage on the left wall, deep floor to ceiling shelving on the back and a custom chalkboard on the right wall. I painted them all the same color as the baseboards/door to make it appear like it always belonged. I also built the wood crates, stained them dark for some contrast and added rope handles for an antique look/feel. They've wide and deep for overflow storage that's out of sight. We are enjoying it so far!

I didn't realize I hadn't taken a before picture, but it was similar to the one I'm attaching.
