- the canned goods
- the shelves
- the step ladder
- the vintage laundry basket
- the fruit crate that held paper towels
- the red drink cooler
- the extra laundry soap
- the bbq grill cooking utensils
- the iRobot Roomba vacuum
- the broom and Bona dust mop
- the trash can and the basket it goes in
- T1-11 4’x8′ panels for the back and one side were attached to the original wall
- 2″x6″x8′ boards were used for the vertical shelf supports
- those vertical boards were pre-drilled to fit adjustable metal shelf pins
- 1″x6″ boards were cut in 20″ sections for the shelves (we cut 28 of them!)
Enjoyed the project?

Looks great! Very well done.
Here's an unasked for but helpful tip for pantry items; write the best by date on the labels so don't have to pull the cans, bottles, etc. off the shelves to search for the one expiring first. I do this for all my pantry items when I put them away after shopping. I no longer find expired stuff behind other things because the dates are all staring me in the face. This also inspires me to use up the items that will go bad in a month or so. I also recommend a yellow or white paint pen for items with dark labels. I hope this is helpful to someone. 🙂

Oooh , love it - especially the wire inserts on your doors!!!!
We took down wire shelves in the laundry room and are installing upper cabinets that we're moving from the office. I will get my husband to knock out the recessed panel and install wire. YAY - thanks for the idea, Cindy!

Beautiful result! How in the world did you paint behind the hotwater heater, LOL! But you did a great job. I love your laundry room and the pantry area!
