Freshly painted - now white instead of the yellowed nastiness that was there prior!
After - Dad and John installed the shelves while Gus was at work on Saturday morning. They look great & everything fits mukch better than before!
Not to mention the cool rolly basket that we now have at the bottom helps to store things - and makes them easier for me to reach!
Just an FYI for anyone who is redoing an area where thy want to install these easy to hang shelves . . . We looked at the Container Store - because they have wonderfully, obsessively compulsively, organized, organizational materials/shelving.
We pretty much knew what we wanted - and priced it all out. It wasn't going to be as cheap as we thought it would be. And to get the cool wheelly cart was going to be $100 extra, plus buying each basket seperately. So almost $160 more. So, we priced the materials at Home Depot. That was about $100 less than the Container store (not counting the cart).
Then, we stopped at IKEA to look for shelves for Augie's room . . . well, we found the shelves (I stained them to match his furniture, and they came with the brackets. They were only $7/each!!! - We bought 3!!!), and we found a whole lot more!!! On our way out to the checkout - we found ALL of the materials for the pantry - and the rolly cart - for under $100!!! We were ECSTATIC! Two hanging bars, 5 shelves, 10 adjustable brackets (2 per shelf), and the cart, baskets, solid top for the cart, and wheels - all under $100!!! ROCK ON IKEA!!!
Point of story - shop IKEA first next time!!!
