My first really big project: Tackling my pantry

I have a pantry.  We bought it when we moved into an apartment that had NO storage space.  Just a simple white particle board, two door, four shelf cabinet.

And I’m tired of the white.  It’s been white for years, it’s boring.  So I decided to change it.  I’m inspired by so many of the blogging ladies, I’m changing it up!  I decided on KILZ color Caraway Seed, a sort of dark taupe.  It’s a really long process, because the paint takes a while to dry, so this will definitely be a multi-day project.  But I do have some photos to share of the process thus far!!

Here’s my pantry Before.  Picture this with white doors – I forgot to take a picture before I removed the doors – with white plastic handles – which I might very well replace.

Here’s the fronts of the doors painted with two coats.  That’s the color, and I LOVE it!!  I painted them last night and let them dry overnight.

My snack, because everybody needs fuel for a quasi-long-term project, yes?  Yay for Costco!  (This post not sponsored by Snickers… unless they want to sponsor me!) 

Lifted the doors to paint a coat on the backside, and the bottoms of the shelves have one coat as well.  Yay!

My goal is to have this done by the end of next weekend.  I have a girlfriend coming over on Tuesday, and I’m hoping to do a big chunk of the project that day, we’ll see!
