While my mother-in-law was here for a visit in July, she helped me to build this cabinet. We used some old shutters I had for the doors. It took us about 4 days to complete- partly because it took awhile in the heat & humidity for the stain and glue to set up correctly. I don't think I could have completed this by myself. It took a lot more engineering than the magazine article I found that gave me the idea!The inserts in the doors are filled with some wallpaper I had picked up somewhere (and was just sitting in the garage with all the other stuff that's waiting to be sorted.)
There is a board that goes under the edge of the doors,where the gap is, but I still need to make some holes in the back of it so that the shelf supports will fit.
I had been storing the extra food in the garage, but the mice had discovered it. This week, I finished moving up the last of the cans and got the pantry and the kitchen cupboards rearranged so things fit and can be (hopefully) easily found. I hope this will make it easier for me to figure out what I need to buy and stop getting duplicates and forgetting about other things! And it will save us from having to run up and down the stairs to get the ingredients for a meal (except when we need something from the freezers.)

That is WAY impressive. You and Jojean did a wonderful job! I would not have even tried to attempt such a project, of course, you know I always say... When asked if I wanted to learn how to hammer nails I looked at my finger tips and said no thank you that sounds so painful. RRRR
Anyway, excellent work on the cabinet and the reoganization of the pantry. -Mar
Yes, with JoJene's help it turned out very nice. I would not have done nearly as good of a job without her help and expertise.
And I definitely will not be feeding miserable mice this way!!
