I’m kind of embarrassed to admit this but we were using a stand up clothes armoire as a simple DIY pantry in our kitchen because we didn’t have enough space to hold all our food stuffs. Hey, you do what you need to do. And I needed more space for my canned goods. My husband, Roy, who’s not a carpenter, finally decided he was going to make us a pantry. It would be small and in the corner, but it would be floor to ceiling.
This pantry is part of our Outdated Kitchen Transformation. This is the corner its going in. We'd already removed the wall paper and painted it.
The framing begins! By the way Roy used Googles free SketchUp program to design the pantry ahead of time.
Sheet rock was added.
Cross strips to hold the shelves were put in ad then the inside was painted.
Shelves were cut.
Our son finished the m sanding of the sheet rock.
Shelves installed and outside painted.
Door installed
Painted.
Final touch.
Inside. It's awesome! ⏩⏩⏩⏩CLICK HERE FOR MANY MORE PHOTOS⏪⏪⏪⏪

Nothing wrong with using an armoire! But you did a great job, especially if this was the first time you've framed a wall or hung a door. Very professional.
I agree, use what you have! I have a very large antique mirrored dresser in my kitchen for dishes, silver ware, kitchen utensils, even my "junk" drawer. And turned my small laundry room into the pantry.
AWESOME!!!!!
