Kitchen Pantry

The pantry in the kitchen took up more space than it gave for storage. It was built with 2x4's and sheet rock which took up about 5 inches on each side that was not usable space.  

It also went all the way to the way to the ceiling which really cut up the room. It made the room darker in there than it should have been. Remedy? Remove it! 

We got all of the sheet rock removed then Garrett had a heck of a time removing the studs.

 After he got all of the structure removed I cracked out the tile from the area. It came up so easy.

We bought some sheet rock and repaired the wall. We bought a pantry cabinet for storage and we love it.  A lot of light is able to pass over the cabinets. We are actually able to fit that pantry cabinet and an 18 inch base cabinet in that space now.

 

Yay for more storage and more counter space! Now I just need to get moving on refinishing those cabinets so we can be done.
