My parents are coming for Thanksgiving this year! I'm looking forward to a nice visit with them!!
I've got a lot of planning to do - meals, activities, cleaning & prepping...
So, Handy Hubby : ) decided this would be the perfect time to start a pantry makeover project.
My pantry contents are spread out all over {can't find anything}.
Aaaaaaaargh!
Is he secretly reading my blog news feed or what?! I never even mentioned this current pantry makeover trend!!!
I know, I know, I should be doing a little happy dance but...
right NOW?!
Since he was going to all the trouble of dressing up the wire shelving, it only made sense to paint the disgustingly dirty walls. I went to Lowes and bought a gallon of Valspar, eggshell Oops! paint for $5. It's called Tempered Steel. Probably not what I would have picked out but it was the most neutral color available and was in the budget.
Yours truly went to all the trouble of cutting out all of the little shelf hooks. Turns out they won't really show anyway. Oh well!
It's a little darker than I would like but clean walls are always refreshing.
The wood shelves are being painted white. And HH will add decorative molding to the face of the shelves to cover up the wire {also going white}.
Gotta admit I'm a lot little impatient.
It better be done before Thanksgiving is all I have to say!
{otherwise, I know JUST the turkey I'm going to roast : )}

I would love to have a pantry that size. Hope the right turkey gets cooked.
It looks great!
nice! who doesn't love clean closets!? oh happy day! great thursday post! blessings to you on thanksgiving!...s....
That looks like it is going to be sooooo nice! Here's to hoping it gets done in time! Thanks for your comment on my stinky post. The 'paste' as you called it has nothing that sounds like it would do any harm...um...there...give it a try! Maybe leave out the essential oil?
it looks great, but I totally understand. . .I hate it when things are not in their place. . .life is cluttered enough!
What a nice size pantry! Good luck - I'm sure it will all be done for you by Thanksgiving :)

Wonderful! Could you come over and redo my pantry, too? Pretty please?
tee hee! Great post and excellent makeover! I know just what you mean about being impatient;)
That looks great. Untimely, but it looks great! Hope it is done by Wednesday at least.
that's creative and loving r take.
Thanks for sharing,
have a lovely Thanksgiving holiday with your family.
Oh how I am jealous! I am sure he will get it done! :) But knowing men . . . . it will be last minute. LOL
I don't think I want to leave a comment here today.
I am consumed with envy AND lust for your pantry...in a good way.
Wow. That looks soooo cool! I love that everything is going to look so wonderful and fresh in that great space. Your husband is a gem for sure!
I like the color - a lot!
What a fun, albeit jealousy provoking, stop this week on my little journey through Alphabe-Thursday!
Thanks for linking.
A+
I would kill for a pantry that big! I did put two long spice racks on the inside of the pantry door, and it gave me a little extra space.
I would trade in all the kitchen cabinets (except for 2) for a walk-in pantry. It's nice to have a handyman for a hubby. Yay! for him and you.
So, I don't have the only husband who starts major projects just before major holidays! This post made me laugh - I hope it's all back to normal before the big day.
Bless those Handy Husbands...their time definition doesn't always synchronize with ours - but somehow it always works out! You will really appreciate all the improvements - looks impressive!
It's looking wonderful!

HAHAHAHA! *ahem* Now that I am done laughing....the pantry looks great. Have a wonderful holiday with your parents.
Looking good! Thanks too for dropping by my blog.
