Potatoes Growing in Your Pantry? Me Too! Here's What to Do!

Do you have a bag of potatoes that looks like this one? Here's what to do! Mine made a beautiful container with flowers on the front porch one year! :) It's so fun digging them out! Like ...»
hunting for treasure. My kids were three and they dug in that pot all day! Potatoes don't like heat, so plant them as early as you can. They won 't make it all the way through the summer. Then, treasure hunt time!

Buying new closets - need advice

We're buying new closets for 2 kids rooms. I'm not sure whether to have them custom made or to buy ready-made from a furniture (or big box) store. ...»

Of course, custom made is more expensive, but there are a number of advantages:

1.maximizes space, both vertically and horizontally, since it's made exactly according to the wall size.

2.We can pick out the Formica, knobs, wood, pattern, etc. to suit our (my wife's) taste.

But... is it worth it?

Does anyone have advice for us? We'd like to make an educated decision.

  • At least it looked nice and neat with the door closed! 1
  • Such a disaster... we couldn't find anything in the jumbled mess, and heaven forbid it was at the back!
  • So you empty first, and knock those shelves out! 1
  • It was small closet sized, we repaired any wall damaged and painted. the strips are from the wood they used to hold the former shelves up.
  • My production line for painting. 8
  • I used a left over Behr semi-gloss for the first 2 coats. But finished it off with a nice coat of gloss.
  • You can see the aluminum channel he used to hold the shelves. Smart hubby. 1
  • I can see everything! We did add one more shelf up high a little later. And the bottom shelf is about 8 inches from the floor, so I can clean! 5
  • Everything has a place.  So nice. No more digging around to find things. 10

Pantry Remodel!

The standard pantries in the house we bought last year were almost unusable. Long deep shelves and only 3-4 of them in a large closet sized area. Thank heavens they had doors. I designed ...»
the shelves, my husband cut them out of MDF boards, I painted them with several coats of paint, and he installed them with aluminum channel. The channel allowed use of the shelf all the way to the back of the space. I counted and measured all the things in my food pantry to make the plan for how many shelves, how wide, tall and deep they needed to be. See the beginning and end result. It's so nice to be able to find things now. It turned out so nice, we did the 2nd pantry where I keep dishes, plastics, and mixed items for the kitchen!

    don't know if I posted these or not...but you asked for pantries.


    • I went to WalMart and bought baskets to organize my small freezer!  It is wonderful now!
    • We turned 2 hall closets into pantries years ago.  They were only junk collectors and we put them to good use.
    • I was fortunate to have  master walk in closets so when I retired, I reduced my shoes to nothing but a comfortable few and turned my shoe racks into pantry space.  Where there were cubicles for baskets, we added a few wire shelves.
