German Pantry

Hello sweet blogging friends.

I had to leave my sweet German Armoire that we made into a pantry for JCC#3.   It unfortunately was going to be too big for the new house.  

:(

I found a good home for this beautiful piece so that made me feel good.

Terry and I found another German made Armoire on Offer Up.

This is the armoire when we purchased it on Offer Up.

Terry took the armoire apart and cut it down to fit in this space in the back of the new kitchen.

This was where the previous owner had a bench and hooks for coats.

 I needed a pantry for storage and we also needed a closet for our winter coats and shoes.

One side will have shelves and the other side will have a coat closet.

This is the pretty pattern of the wood.

This is how it looks now. 
We are going to put in the shelves and coat closet this weekend.

Terry is adding crown molding to the top of the armoire.

It will give it a more finished look.

I have these vintage knobs for the doors.

I debated on leaving the natural wood color on the armoire since it was similar to the french bench color.

It really has too many scratches and wear. 

Plus the new crown would not stain to the exact color of the armoire. 

It will get painted white!

I hope to have this done with the shelves in and it finished with a pretty white paint this weekend.

When you live small you have to figure ways to use every sq. inch of your space. 

I will show you pictures when it is all done.

This is our before bathroom picture. 

This has been totally re loved. 

New flooring, new bathtub and surround, a new vanity and mirror and light.
 
It was a complete re love.  I will have pictures of this transformation soon.

Everything you see in this picture is gone!!!!

Have a great weekend.
Hugs,
Kris
