Make your own pantry under the stairs, by Martin

I have finally made a neat pantry from the cupboard under the stairs, which for a long time served as a junk room and last year as a tiny office. Been struggling with it for years. I am definitely not a handyman. Didn't even think about sawing the planks. The fact that I could order everything in the desired size at TOSIZE.com was the deciding factor to do this now.

Cleaning up It's not rocket science, of course. So, first the office demolished. And a room above that. Preparations Then I was left with a tiny cubicle where the previous residents had smeared granol on the walls. And not so neat. So, first that with fix-and-finish neatly (enough). Then remove the old laminate. And painted everything. Ordering online to measure From the internet (Pinterest) I got a list somewhere with logical distances between shelves for a pantry. I measured this neatly, marked it on the wall and then ordered it to size. Neatly mitered. And actually a child can do the laundry. Mounting I have installed the MDF back plate. I had to cut it a little bit so that it fit along the stairs. As a last thought, a hatch was made. So that the camping gear can be stored behind it. Slats screwed to the wall. And attached the ordered planks to it. And along the front a few slats for extra support in the corners. Finishing And for the eye.. The whole finished with a little bit of sealant for the last seams. A piece of silk on the floor so that it does not get dirty while painting! The result is a neat, spacious pantry that we are very happy with. We had 2 drawers in the kitchen that we used for this. The cupboard will fit about 6 times as much. As said. I'm not a handyman. But, this way it tastes like more. In the end, it's just a matter of doing it. I promise nothing, but there is still a elder in the shed to be made. Maybe I'll do that myself next summer.
