I have a PANTRY! Finally.
I searched my hard drive and don’t have a before photo of this pantry. Which is odd since I obsessively photograph everything. But when we bought the house, and the following four years, the way too small refrigerator lived in here. It matched all the rest of the impossibly small appliances that this house had to offer. Why anyone would put their refrigerator in a closet is beyond me.
Awhile ago I posted over at Mighty Junior as a guest editor. I was asked to pick about ten things that I liked. I only found five things on the entire internet that I liked. I am not sure what that says about me. I am highly selective? I am picky? I am decidedly not hip or cool?
Anyway, if you want to see what five things I like click on the link. The baby book I picked is stunning. If this book were available when I was pregnant with my oldest son it is definitely the one I would have chosen to buy and not fill out.
And in more football parent, holy shit who ARE these people, news… the crazy Dad lost his ever loving mind today because he thought some of the other kids were roughing up his kid. Which , hello, it is football, not choir.
He stormed over to a group of 8 and 9 yr old LITTLE BOYS and called them f-ing faggots and threatened them. Then he called them the “p” word and screamed at the coaches for awhile. All while using the f-word more than I thought humanly possible. It was beyond anything I have ever experienced in youth sports and I thought I had experienced it all. To their credit the coaches, all eleventy-million of them, kept their cool and calmly told him to stop using foul language in front of the kids and to stop screaming. Not that it did much.
No wonder parents are drinking at the field. It is beginning to make sense now. Where is my hip flask?
What makes it even sadder is what all of this will do to his kid.
My kids thought the entire incident was a little frightening and upon getting in the van my 7 yr old said,”Were those really bad swear words? Because I haven’t even heard some of those!”
On the other hand, my oldest son’s team continues to play and practice completely drama free.

Wow! What a beautiful (and well-organized) pantry - all that waiting and hard work shows.
September 18th, 2008 at 9:18 amWhoa - looks like a Pottery Barn pantry!! So, if that’s what you were going for, it worked……I now have pantry-envy……..and the football dad?? Some people are totally clueless and beyond redemption; he sounds like one of them!
September 18th, 2008 at 9:20 amLOL I just left a comment under your last post because you didn’t have comments open on this one. Just a little drooling over that pantry. wow.
September 18th, 2008 at 9:22 amYour pantry is stunning!
September 18th, 2008 at 9:24 amUm…what is the “p” word? Whatever it is, that dad needs to be removed from the playing field - here, hockey parents sign a form saying they won’t act like that and anyone who does gets turfed.
Hm, sounds like that parent needs to be banned. Which of course would impact his poor child negatively, thus making his no-doubt terrible plight worse. I just don’t understand parents who feel the need to do that. 7 year old kids shouldn’t have to get those life lessons. I feel for you!
September 18th, 2008 at 9:25 amCan I come live in your pantry? It’s pretty.
September 18th, 2008 at 9:28 amMaybe it’s because I’m pantry-less but I love yours! So organized & pretty!
September 18th, 2008 at 9:32 amIt isn’t just your area. Our youth leagues have instituted a new policy. One time of such behavior: the parent is removed from the park & child is removed from the game. The second time: Parent is banned from park for season & child is removed from team. Rushing out to the team (as that parent did) is automatic out. At sign-ups parents are required to sign and date a statement that they have read & understand the policy with a second signiture of the person who gave the form. This is for the serious displays you have discribed. Sounds harsh on the child but it was the only thing that seems to keep such parents in line. Not only have we heard such outbursts but one angry parent assaulted a teenaged umpire beating him on the field, during a game, in front of God and everyone. They were able to press charges but had a difficult time keeping him from the playing area because there was not written policy for the park. As if “Do not beat the umpires or referees” needs to be written down. Hopefully your association can do something to get such a disgusting petty father off the field & soon.
September 18th, 2008 at 9:32 amWow. Don’t put your kids in front of telly, it’s not good for them and g-d knows what sort of crap they’ll be exposed to. Get them outside. Get them involved in sports and with other kids. Much healthier and kid-appropriate, right? What a sick, sad world. Reading that post, all I could think of was that man’s poor kid.
Couldn’t that sort of behaviour be considered threatening and the police called? I’m pretty sure we could here.
September 18th, 2008 at 9:37 amHow sad. The dad not your pantry. I must be out of touch because I don’t have a clue to what the P word is. Can I get a couple more letters?
September 18th, 2008 at 9:44 amI’ll be honest. I think I would call the police. Isn’t there some type of vulgarity law or something? Harrassment? There has got to be some way for this to stop. I realize the child will be mortified, but in the long run, perhaps the dad will cahnge leading to a better life for the kid anyway? I don’t know, but something shoudl be done.
September 18th, 2008 at 9:48 amI have pantry envy. And ya! What is UP with parents that do that?? Maybe we need to feed him some Maple Leaf cold cuts…sorry bad joke. We’re having a listeriosis outbreak up here in the Great White North. Anyway, I will live out my pantry fantasies vicariously through your photograph.
September 18th, 2008 at 9:50 amOMG! That is a beautiful pantry!!
September 18th, 2008 at 10:01 amYour pantry is beautiful and so nicely organized, I love it!
September 18th, 2008 at 10:05 amI actually gasped when the image came up and involuntarily said, “Wow, good lookin’ pantry!” Which reveals a great deal about me. Big, big fan of the reno.
I also love that your son judges which swear words are worst based on his level of familiarity. Sounds like my kids.
September 18th, 2008 at 10:12 amI really cannot get over my pantry envy. Or that your kids don’t know the F and P words- you are hopelessly unhip!
(I KID! Although, unfortunately, I’m better any of my potential offspring will know those words at 7).
September 18th, 2008 at 10:20 amI’d like to buy a vowel for the P word. I don’t know that one either.
September 18th, 2008 at 10:20 amI meant to say I’m betting.
September 18th, 2008 at 10:20 amThe “p” word? It’s practically in the title. Policy or no policy, I do believe anyone behaving like that father could be arrested for disorderly conduct just about anywhere, even in his own home if the neighbors called the police. Re: the pantry - love it! At first glance I thought I saw a key in the doorknob, which made me think of my grandmother and her 11 children and how she actually DID lock away the food. Me? If I had a pantry I’d want a lock on it to provide a safe cookie-eating hideaway.
September 18th, 2008 at 10:21 amOh, never mind, I just read the title.
September 18th, 2008 at 10:23 amJust a guess, but I think the “p” word is pu**y.
Glad to be helpful. *wink*
September 18th, 2008 at 10:25 amOur sports league told us last weekend of parents that they had to have arrested at the field because they refused to quit shouting profanities. I feel bad for the nasty dad’s kid - you’re right that it’s not good for his kid.
LOVE the new pantry!
September 18th, 2008 at 10:26 amI never thought I would drool over a pantry. But wow- If I had one like that my whole life would be unbelievably organized, I just know it.
September 18th, 2008 at 10:35 amLove the pantry…where did you find such lovely baskets?
Regarding the parent. We have a no parent on the field policy, no profanity, we can’t even display a sign with the other teams name, mascot or anything in a negative tone. Step out of line and your team forfeits the game. Just imagine all the other parents rath on the one parent that acts a fool. I live here in small town TX and we close our businesses early and roll up the sidewalks just to go to the games so we really take our football very seriously
September 18th, 2008 at 10:46 amCan I move into your pantry? It is so lovely!
September 18th, 2008 at 10:51 amOMG! I love, love, love your pantry! At first I thought it was a picture from a magazine and you were going to write that this was the picture you were inspired by…Now I am inspired by you!! I need my pantry to be redone! Did you take anymore from the other side? How about more of the actual kitchen?!
September 18th, 2008 at 11:05 amNobody’s pantry should look THAT good….
September 18th, 2008 at 11:15 amWhat a beautiful pantry. I totally have pantry envy now.
September 18th, 2008 at 11:18 amLove the pantry.
Holy crap on the parent. That is horrible and totally wrong. Can they ban him?
September 18th, 2008 at 11:24 amLOVE the pantry! Great job!
September 18th, 2008 at 11:33 amBeautiful, beautiful pantry!
Is that the same dad who swore when he complimented the team a few posts ago? Something’s got to be done about him and any other angry and swearing parents out there. They’re way out of line. It seems to me that the parents get more mellow as the kids get older. We haven’t had even one small incident with the 14 and under soccer moms and dads and I remember more screaming and drama in years past.
September 18th, 2008 at 12:03 pmI am in love with your pantry. You lucky girl.
That parent should be banned from the field. What totally ridiculous behavior.
September 18th, 2008 at 12:10 pmLOL, I sat here for 5 minutes trying to figure out what the “P word” was, thanks to the commenter who pointed out that it’s in the title!
Gorgeous pantry! I’m in love! And I’m 6 months pregnant, so I’m definitely on my way to check out that baby book.
September 18th, 2008 at 12:26 pmI think CrazyFootballDad is just trying to mask his pantry-envy. OBVIOUSLY he is riddled with jealously over such perfection. Come to think of it, I’m a little jealous, too!
September 18th, 2008 at 12:32 pmLove the pantry. I’d like to see pics after it’s actually be used. No one should have a pantry that clean.
As for the dad, I’m surprised he’s not banned. He would be here.
September 18th, 2008 at 12:36 pmI cannot believe this man is allowed within 100 yards of the field. I really hope to hear very soon that he has been banned, for the SEASON if not forever. I would truly hope that his mother or other family member could step up to the plate and bring that poor child to football. If this is what the guy does in public, can you imagine what he is like at home? Child abuse, plain and simple. What a disgrace.
September 18th, 2008 at 12:51 pmWhy hasn’t this gentleman (and I use the word loosely) been banned from the field?
September 18th, 2008 at 12:54 pmWOW! That pantry is a thing of beauty!!!!!!!!!!!
Your house is beautiful! Thanks for sharing pictures!!! :))))))
September 18th, 2008 at 12:59 pmI’m a hideous, bilious shade of green over that pantry. Not only that you HAVE a pantry, but that it looks like it’s right out of a catalog!
There’s always one pu**y who ruins it for everyone. I agree - call the cops.
September 18th, 2008 at 1:04 pmThat dad needs to be banned from the field….There is absolutely no excuse for talking like that in frount of the kids….I would have a hard time not letting him know how I felt about him….but then I guess Id be lowering myself to his level…..oh what the heck!!!…BTW….let us know if that pantry still looks like that in 3 months…..then we will need to be jealous!
September 18th, 2008 at 1:05 pmI think your pantry is bigger than my apartment.
Beautiful.
As for the parent I am constantly amazed that parents think that kind of behaviour helps their child in any way. It would be useful for the parents to know if there is a set of written rules about parental behaviour. If there isn’t then perhaps someone needs to take that on to prevent future outbursts.
September 18th, 2008 at 1:22 pmHey Chris, where are your craker jars from? (The clear glass containers for dry foods - in case you don’t call them cracker jars)
Thanx,
Fina
Chris says: I bought them a long time ago, but I recently saw them at Target or Walmart. And I think one of those stores is where I had bought them also.
September 18th, 2008 at 1:25 pmOkay, just went over and checked the Mighty Junior site….and quickly came to the conclusion that I’m not in the right tax bracket to shop there! {{{sigh}}}
September 18th, 2008 at 1:40 pmOMG! can I live in there?
September 18th, 2008 at 2:50 pmHoly crap! $400 for a SCHOOL BAG?!? Are they serious?
“Parents will love that this pack is made to serve as the only pack you will need to get through elementary school”
Uh huh. But I’m betting I can get a kid all the way through college spending less than $400 on school bags, LOL. It’s an awfully cute bag, to be sure, and I can see dropping $100 on it (school bags here in Germany are somewhat similar in style and not cheap) but if I’m going to spend $400 on a bag, it’s gonna be for me, not for a kid who will be dragging it along the ground and throwing it on the floor. But then, I can’t see me ever spending that sort of money on a bag for myself, either, so I’ll just have to admire it’s cuteness from the pretty picture on the internet.
Oh, and yes, if I was to buy one of these, it would most definitely be the RED one.
September 18th, 2008 at 3:26 pmi think i’m going to make my husband get me a pantry like that. i’m jealous.
someone needs to videotape that guy acting like such a jerk and make him sit down and watch it. maybe that will make a difference in his behavior…
how sad that parents feel entitled to behave like that in front of children!
September 18th, 2008 at 3:33 pmAh. The joys of kid-team parents. Ugh.
I am in awe of the blissful order in your awesome pantry.
And…really? The fridge? In a closet? WTF? Then again, there were the people with the hideous mural on one wall, right?
September 18th, 2008 at 3:36 pmVery nice pantry. You are very organized!
September 18th, 2008 at 4:07 pmThat looks like a pantry out of a photoshoot for some magazine illustrating what pantries are meant to look like in my dreams. Please come over right away and make any part of my house look as pretty as your pantry. Thank you.
PS - your kitchen looks amazing, love the counter.
September 18th, 2008 at 4:38 pmCrazy Dads are everywhere, I’m afraid. USA Hockey ran a series of ads with the tagline “Relax, It’s Just a Game.” This is one of my favorites:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLZkNajZWnU
Oh, and it looks like Hockey Canada had the same idea:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2T9IVZFQ5I8
September 18th, 2008 at 5:14 pmNice pantry! So neat and clean! I have pantry envy, too. My pantry looks like a grocery store blew up in it. It needs serious re-organizing.
September 18th, 2008 at 5:20 pmCrazyDad needs to be banned from the field. And his poor kid. What is he teaching him?
My mom’s fridge is in her pantry. Eh, it works for her kitchen. I was admiring your pantry (it’s lovely) and wishing I had that space…then remembered I have a pretty big pantry style cabinet filled with crap and very disorganized. And I don’t even call it “the pantry” when I totally could! Way to make me feel bad, Chris! That dad is amazingly over the top, although I think everyone has experienced the CrazySportsParent (not always the dads.) Our neighbor is one of those–got into it with a teenage umpire, cheats when he refs soccer games and displays horrible, non-sportsman-like behavior when he plays in his men’s league. It is truly pathetic.
September 18th, 2008 at 5:33 pmOkay, I had to comment so bad after reading about that football dad that I couldn’t even get to the end of your post!!! If that ever happened here in SoCAL, he would be banned from the field and all games…so what gives??? Why aren’t the board members/officials on it?
September 18th, 2008 at 5:37 pmI am sorely disappointed that there is no photo… and I’m not talking about the pantry, I’m talking about the football swearfest.
September 18th, 2008 at 5:44 pmWow, that parent really is crazy. I haven’t the foggiest idea what the “p-word” is. Punks? Pansies? Prima Donnas? Okay, if that’s the worst I can come up with, maybe I don’t want to know what the p-word is.
September 18th, 2008 at 5:45 pmYour pantry is gorgeous! But,… I’m confused. I see the mixing bowl and measuring cups there. Does that mean that you will mix ingrediants for some food while you are physically in your pantry?
Wow, that totally makes sense, but the idea is like the sixth dimension for me.
Can you tell that organization does not come naturally to me?
September 18th, 2008 at 5:47 pmOh, and parents like that s***! I’m a long-time soccer mom and found that it was the teams with the youngest players and the lower levels of play that had the most obnoxious parents. That parent goes beyond obnoxious. In soccer, he would have been ejected from the field. If he would not leave, then his team would automatically lose and the ref would leave (or in this case, call the police).
I feel sorry for his child and the rest of his family. They are probably mortified.
September 18th, 2008 at 5:50 pmMy refrigerator lives in what used to be the pantry too. I’d love to have a pantry, but then I’d have to have a miniature fridge to put it back in its original spot.
We actually had a parent in baseball last year that necessitated us having an off-duty policeman come to the games and practices. Sounds like a relative of your psycho. His poor kid.
September 18th, 2008 at 6:43 pmI can’t believe that guy hasn’t been banned yet!
September 18th, 2008 at 6:55 pmI have pantry envy. I have such a little…pantry. I hate you. Not really, but, It’s Beautiful..sniff, sniff.
September 18th, 2008 at 7:04 pmI agree with corinne about someone videotaping that guy, course then again, he’s probably doing the same thing at home on Monday night in front of his kids too.
Pretty Pantry. Organization does it for me.
September 18th, 2008 at 7:07 pmI love your panry it makes me drool. I don’t know anyone with a pantry, they are not in any houses over here but they should be.
September 18th, 2008 at 8:33 pmThat Dad is mental, his poor kid.
Eh, what IS the “p” word? Is it very bad?
That’s nicer than my entire house, I do believe.
That’s disgusting about that father! Do you know I never even HEARD the f-word until jr. high? (And we’re talking the 1980’s here, not 1920 or anything.)
My, how the world has changed. And not for the better.
September 18th, 2008 at 8:35 pmAnd yes, I just bought cracker jars like that at Wal-mart. The largest ones are under $5! SO cute.
September 18th, 2008 at 8:36 pmWould someone be willing to hand the swearing father a bar of soap & suggest he wash his mouth out with it?
The pantry is beautiful.
September 18th, 2008 at 9:32 pmI never knew I wanted a pantry until I saw yours. Its gorgeous.
As for the P word, everyone go and re-read the title of the post for your answer.
September 18th, 2008 at 9:41 pmI had to pull my eyes of your pantry to comment. It.Is.Beautiful. Oh, I want a pantry like that…
Psycho football parent is crazy! I feel sorry for his kid.
My husband shows up to our boys’ practice in his deputy uniform (it starts just as he is getting off shift) this seems to keep the bitchy parents calm. Any chance you could find a cop to come hang out? Police presence does wonders…
September 18th, 2008 at 9:53 pmYes, that is a PANTRY! Wow! I’m so very jealous.
One thought for you: you might want to put some of those little felt circles on the bottoms of the baskets before the sliding in and out scratches up your beautiful white shelves.
Chris says: SOMEONE WHO THINKS LIKE MEEEEEE. I already did that
And I put these clear little bubble things on the wall where the cabinet doors open so that the knobs won’t go through the drywall.
September 18th, 2008 at 10:31 pmPlease photograph your lovely pantry on a random day 6 months from now. Please please please? I have to know.
September 18th, 2008 at 10:34 pmThe p- word is PANTRY! (Duh.)
September 18th, 2008 at 10:43 pmOh. So. Jealous of your pantry…not the crazy, psycho, screaming dad that should never be allowed near children again. Sorry for that experience. Hope he gets banned from the field.
September 18th, 2008 at 10:50 pmHoly Pantry Batman! I love it and want it…and I imagine that I would so never cook for fear it would become less organized! Wouldn’t you love to see the face’s of the previouse owners now!
As for your crazy feild parent ~ here too, he would be reported. If he is like that on the feild with a crowd imagine that poor childs life at home?! I say…next time..(and oh I bet there is one) you hoist the ever present camera and capture the moment and not only share it with us your faithful loyal following but…give him a few 8×10’s…slip them into the childs team photo envelope…what a jack A$$..and I was thnk a much worse P word than you have in the title don’tcha know..
September 18th, 2008 at 11:15 pm**that should read..” I was thinking…” not thnk..sorry!
September 18th, 2008 at 11:17 pmUtterly beautiful pantry.
About the football guy - isn’t that illegal? Should the cops be called next time?
September 18th, 2008 at 11:18 pmUm, I should have read the title first ….that would be the word I was thinking…
September 18th, 2008 at 11:19 pmFirst, that is to pretty a room to be a pantry. In fact, if I had a room like that in my house, I’d just live in there. And not let anyone cross the threshold. Ever.
And I actually sat here agape, with bulgy-eyes and slack-jaw, when reading about that father. Oddly, the words that come to mind with regard to this fellow are bad words. I’m with you — I’m sad for his son
September 19th, 2008 at 12:22 amWhen I opened your blog and the photo of your pantry appeared, I said “ooooohhhh.”
So loudly and apparently with such flair, that my husband came to see what on a computer, would cause me to have such a vocal reaction.
It is simply stunning.
The football parent? Simply stupid.
September 19th, 2008 at 12:38 amKellie says:
Um, I should have read the title first ….that would be the word I was thinking…
LOL Kellie! I was going to post and ask you what that “much worse p-word” could possibly be because, for the life of me, I couldn’t think of one!
September 19th, 2008 at 1:47 amNow the pantry needs a lock. But should it be on the outside, so the kids can’t get in, or on the inside, so you can lock yourself in to hide and eat cookies?
Chris says: AWESOME idea. Getting out my tools now
September 19th, 2008 at 5:43 amWow!! That’s soo neat, well-organized and beautiful. Please tell me something.. Do your really maintain it so neat? Or is it just because it’s new, and needs to be photographed?
Chris says: No,it will stay neat.
September 19th, 2008 at 6:17 amCompletely jealous. Of your pantry, not the football drama. (I hope he has been forbidden to come to games from here on out???)
September 19th, 2008 at 8:35 amI absolutely heart your pantry. Drool, drool. Too bad I can’t mail-order myself one.
I’d really love to know what you store in the wonderfully large baskets at the bottom? I have some very large shelves in my “cabinet of a pantry” and never know what to do with them. (Self-admittedly organizationally-challenged.)
September 19th, 2008 at 8:56 amChris - your pantry is so neat and organized! I love it. Also, I have to ask what is wrong with people these days? seriously, someone should’ve just smacked that dad at your son’s practice.
September 19th, 2008 at 8:56 amFunny…I just put felt thingys on my new baskets. Can’t live without those felt thingys.
September 19th, 2008 at 9:39 amI SO want to re-do my pantry NOW!!! Mine was kind of a last minute idea when we built, put under our stairs. I could not live without it, but OH the organization in yours, just lovely.
September 19th, 2008 at 9:41 amI’m thinking the “p” word needed on that field is “police officer.” Nothing official, just a cop who happens to be watching the game. For fun. In his uniform. Standing next to the screaming dad. (Or maybe it does need to be official. If my hubs was a coach, I wouldn’t want this guy screaming at him. He sounds like he could lose control - even more - and hurt someone.) Either way, he’s holding the entire field hostage.
BTW. I agree with lizinsumner. That can’t be a pantry. It looks like Pottery Barn display. DIY or HGTV should do a special on your home transformation. Very inspiring. or depressing. I can’t decide which.
September 19th, 2008 at 9:41 amYou put the pictures i posted of my pantry to shame!!! Are you really Martha Stewart?
September 19th, 2008 at 12:56 pmGee thanks. Now I have to go to confession. “Bless me Father for I have sinned. I’m coveting another blogger’s pantry!”
September 19th, 2008 at 1:06 pm“p” is for (pussy*) I would imagine , people… !!!!!! boy, I feel sorry for that jerk’s child…… maybe you all could donate next week’s concession stand profits to offset the costs of what I am sure will be expensive and much needed therapy!
gorg, pantry, btw - but …. WHERE’S ALL YOUR STUFF? - yaknow, the STUFF . ie- wait— let me list mine… empty grocery bags, stale cookies, stale cereal ( boys in this house can’t reseal a bag if life depended on it) pumpkin cutter/decoration kit (unopened from 2 years ago) 1627 cookie cutters, more empty bags, jiffy muffin mix, brownie mix, olive oil, spices … bisquick, peanut butter,jams,teas spices ( NOT in perfect little matching containers )pasta , sauces, trick or treating jack o latern from last year - still there! hey! now I dont have to go to the basement to search for it — Yea!
where is all your CRAP woman! the debris of life, as it were—- I have 4 kiddo and a mtn for crap , you have 7 and live in a crap free pottery barn ad.
actually , could I come live in your pantry?
September 19th, 2008 at 8:00 pmAwesome pantry….with artwork even!!
September 19th, 2008 at 8:22 pmOoooohhh. That’s so sweet. I hardly find any time to clean up. Now, I have to confess it’s not just because of the baby, but because I’m lazy!!!!
September 19th, 2008 at 11:54 pmOH I love that pantry
We had an “incident at the local high school game. The district nuckle dragger sent home a letter that saying even though football is king PARENTS were expected to act like parents and any more such behaviour would result in a lifetime banning of the parents from any and all sporting events.
One of te parents started a fist fight with the opposing team’s parents.
Classay let me tell you.
September 20th, 2008 at 6:07 pmI had to click on the comments because I *knew* there had to be at least one person in the kazillion comments that also didn’t have a clue what the *p* word was - and that there would be even more commenters that DID and would let us clueless people in!
LOL.
And I was right. I must be mighty vanilla because I sat here trying to think of what the p word might be and all I could think of was pantry.
I think that’s because I love your pantry. I don’t have one either.
September 21st, 2008 at 10:24 amOMG….that pantry just caused me to get teary eyed. It’s the most beautiful thing ever. So organized….so neat. I think I’ve fallen in love.
September 21st, 2008 at 5:13 pmYour pantry is Gorgeous! So organized (like my Mum’s). Absolutely lovely.
September 21st, 2008 at 10:43 pmYou may not have a before shot of your pantry, but I can send you one of my current pantry. My pantry makes pantry a ‘p word’. I can’t wait to show my husband th photo of yours and what some elbow grease, and a lot of stress can produce in such a small area. I hope you enjoy your finished work of art. That pantry is gorgeous.

Love the pantry.
September 21st, 2008 at 11:55 pmSome very dear friends of mine have just returned to the States after living in Oz for 8 years. All three of their kids play soccer. Such is their shock at the parents on the sideline (and we have our share of them over here too let me say) that their 10 year old son actually said to one of the dads - who was berating his son - “Dude, you need to get less emotional”. And the coach said - “We’ve been telling him that for years”.
And still the father went on and on. Amazing and SO SAD.
Dude - that pantry is stunning.
