DIYP: Pantry Pizazz

The Pantry

Before

After I cleaned up the inside of my pantry, I knew I wanted to add some pizazz to the outside. Have you seen those fancy glass paneled doors with the word pantry etched in the glass?

They are so lovely, but very expensive. Plus, it turns out that our pantry door isn't standard size. It's smaller. So, a custom pantry door is even more expensive (like $300).

I've heard about screen doors serving as pantry doors and that's what we decided. We bought a plain $18 screen door at Lowe's.

My hubby took it apart and cut it down to fit the smaller width of our pantry.

I bought some fancy scrolls to embellish the plain door. I decided to spray paint the unfinished wood. Red, of course!

My hubby nailed the scrolls onto the painted door.

And then my sweet guy took off the old plain white door and gave me the country kitchen I've always wanted!!

Are you ready?

My hubby did an AMAZING job!

It's pretty fantastic..........................

After

My favorite touch? The fork door pull. He just used pliers to give it a bend and then screwed it into the wood:

And it cost less than $50!!!
