The Pantry
I know it's been like almost 2 years since i've posted, but i've been uber busy and just haven't had the time to update, and if i did i forgot to take pics of my projects.. i know i know!
This time i was ready with the camera every step of the way.
Since the last time i blogged i got married, so i now live in the house in the previous pics, and a lot of updates have been made, but the pantry was one that HAD to be done STAT. A couple of weeks ago i decided to drag the hubby to the orange big box store and have them cut the wood to the dimensions i needed for the kitchen and dining room pantries. They were awesome and didn't even charge us for the cuts!!!
Once home i sanded the wood so it was smooth
Once it was sanded i conditioned the wood with Pre-Stain conditioner
Then the stain was applied.. this was actually easier than i thought it would be! and they came out great!
I let them dry over night and then i put 2 coats of polyurethane in glossy :) of course i sanded in between coats
I had to paint the dining room pantry, so i chose he color of the kitchen. The kitchen pantry i painted a long time ago so all i had to do was install the shelves.

Both are stocked and ready for action! I just need a door for the one in the kitchen and the project is 100% complete!
