The pantry doors turned chalkboards~
Last night we hung up the finished pantry doors, and today I put on the knobs! Yea! Do you remember me showing you this picture that was the inspiration for this whole project?
Well, as much as I would love a walk in pantry like this, sometimes you have to take what you have and work with it! (I do wish this weren't so often the case though! :)
SO, here is my mimicking of the picture above (however poor! :)~
Please ignore the unfinished crown moulding and green "frog" tape (painter's tape); this kitchen is still in progress! :)
Here is a close up of the top cupboard to the pantry...
This is a better view of the doors as a whole. Unfortunately it is also a better (or worse!) picture of just how much of a work in progress this kitchen still really is! Yep, I am still painting the outer cabinet frames here! :) So I might as well tell you, we put our microwave and little kitchen CD player in the cabinet to save on counter space, and my husband wired an outlet for them. I also like having these out of sight, as neither add to the vintage feel I'm trying to accomplish here! :) Oh, and you can also see our unsightly stove that is soon going to be replaced by the 1940's stove we're fixing up...
I am adding things to the cabinet to the left of the chalkboard doors a little at a time. A lot of our kitchen decor and such was packed away when we started really working on the kitchen, and so I am still playing around with the look of it...I will show it to you again when I get it just right! :)
I hope you all have a fun weekend! :)
I hope you all have a fun weekend! :)
P.S. I will have that picture of what I did with the other shutter on my next post!

Cute! I've been thinking of turning the inside of one of my cabinet doors into a chalkboard.
Love the microwave inside a cupboard idea--that works great!

Jenni, I love it! Now you can head on over to my house and do the same exact thing! hahahaha. Have a wonderfully beautiful day :) The hubs and I are heading out to pick up my antique dress form that I purchased on Craigslist.
Smoochies,

So cute!! Thanks for your comment - what a sweet hubby you have! :)
The quote by F. Lehman is actually a stanza from his hymn, "The Love of God" that Mercy Me covered a couple of years ago. Please repost it - it's one of my favorites! :)
And I'm due late April/early May. Closing in on it!! It's a little startling how quickly this third pregnancy is flying by! :)
Hope you've had a lovely weekend!
