DIY Pantry Makeover | Home With Stefani

[@markpoppenitz9262]

Finally someone who just used regular basic tools! Awesome job!

[@homeandlifewithcynthia]

I love it when women build and do awesome stuff. Fab job!

[@nusratfarooqui4516]

Your work is as humble as you are. This is by far the most do-able , beautiful and has everthing that we were looking for.

[@williamforsythe5850]

Yeah the shelves were good too.

[@da7heaven]

Stephani, this is incredible, not only for design and execution, but also for exceptional step by step explanations. Pace was also great! Thanks, this helped me a lot with our project.

[@saidaswift9531]

I’m exhausted...this woman’s got mad, crazy skills. 🛠⚒

[@goatk1]

My wife and I now make it a habit to watch your videos together. She finally agrees there's no excuse why she cant do projects as such. Basic tools no fancy expensive setups and best of all no burly looking guys! Win win!

[@stevecox2703]

My favorite was when you smoothly pick up the brad nailer with your foot! A true pro.

[@luzbelitausa]

I think this is by far the best project. I love the attention to detail to ensure everything looked perfect.

[@cbchevy74]

Great job. One thought though, is I would suggest filling the holes, texturing the wall, and painting the wall before installing the shelves. You may have to do touch up after but that’s much easier than doing all the finish work in the pantry. Another thing is pre paint the shelves and cabinets outside then touch up as needed. Again great job it turned out nice. You have inspired me to do something with the wire shelving in my pantry.......

[@tjcrossman4582]

I'm with this guy, I had the same thought. Would have been easier to prep the wall, cabinets and such beforehand. But it turned out great regardless!

[@kreativelykinya]

I’ll be tackling my pantry over the next two weeks during my winter break. I have all of my lumber for framing pieces and shelf tops, I hope, I sourced them from local home improvement salvage shops. The shelving I purchased only cost me $0.25 a board and I bought 22, so $5.50. And all of my 2x2s were about $1 each. I’ve been playing this video on repeat for the past few weeks. Making sure I catch every detail. My pantry has 3 usable walls for me to attach shelves. The previous owners installed 18” deep wire shelves along the back wall and not the entire length of the back wall. My new shelves will be on the shallow side. 12” deep for the two lower shelves and 10” deep for the uppers. So it will be C shaped since the middle wall is the longest along the back and there will be shelves to the right and left of the entry way. The space measures 36”x71”, and standard 8 ft tall walls. The wall to the left is a stair wall so the ceiling starts to slope at about the 4’ mark from the floor. So I’ll need to account for how high the shelves would go on that side and if I’ll want to do a bunch of mitre cuts and what that would entail. Just waiting to clock out for the holiday so I can get started. I’ve already begun prepping by laying out the boards and getting placement figured out. I’m excited!!

[@danavazquez5176]

Amazing video! I watch a lot of this type of videos but you're the first person to show every single step so clearly and record everything. It makes a huge difference! Keep up the good work!

[@jazminevaughan5635]

Mad respect. Can't get over what good quality your work is.

[@justinjenkins1620]

This work is junk. .

[@timothybrady1174]

Oh man, tape! I am doing the exact same project right now and our pantry is just HUGE!! It had wire racks for days and literally 166 of those holes. I don't know why I didn't use tape as well. It was a lock of compound and sanding but I know it will be worth it. Great job!!

[@ritadainko3017]

THANK YOU for explaining what to do if something is not level. No one EVER does that... in every other video I've ever watched, everyone's projects are just magically level, and mine rarely are.

[@debandmike3380]

I am amazed at how much you get done with so few tools. Your vision and talent already exceed that of most builders grade carpenters. You are definitely ready to build a workbench, paint buckets only get you so far.

[@slmcnr]

We are grateful for your inspiration and example for the pantry that we will make for the kitchen of our newly purchased home.

[@joedance14]

Good job, it looks real nice! Some observations: save and reuse the trim that was removed at the beginning; it’s easier to fill, sand and paint drywall before installing anything else; smooth caulk with a wet or damp finger; on cutting miters, especially large ones like these shelves and counters, cut one, “dry fit” into position, then mark and cut the second one to fit - in most modern homes are built, the walls, etc, are rarely really square or straight. Again, nice work, it looks great and you’ve gained some experience!

[@mollyferguson4988]

I watched this video shortly after you had posted it and I used the steps you showed to make the cabinet base and install the cabinets and it looks so great in my pantry! Thank you so much for sharing this

[@paulconcadora9395]

That's the nicest pantry I've ever seen, great job with your projects, you know how to make the best of any area, you are very knowledgeable when it comes to home improvements and organizing initiatives, I appreciate your time and video's, thanks for sharing your knowledge and hard work, I am really learning about how to make the best of any situation/ location/ small places, thanks again,

[@mjuaneza77]

I just completed my pantry renovation using this video. Thank you so much.

[@MarkTellier]

What an amazing makeover! Our pantry looks much like what you started with, I plan on using your design. Thank you so very much.

[@HomeWithStefani]

Thank you for watching!

[@samuelbahgat8866]

i like how you do planning before starting the work, it shows you are well organizing

I love pantries & this one has it alll! The glass door!! Wood shelves!!! Lower cabinets and wood countertops. It is GORGEOUS!!!!!! Well done lady!!!

Does your husband just sit back in complete awe as the rest of us watching your amazing woodworking talent?!?!

[@kumudan1676]

Husband may be busy in the office work..

[@haciendadad]

You did a great job! It is great seeing a young lady in there doing these kind of projects! Again, great work!!

[@PinkZombie1987]

When she started to explain "then I did this, and then I did that", I was thinking, "well, you mean the person you hired did that." And holy moly was I wrong. That must be some ingrained misogyny I have cause did she not freaking build the whole thing herself and it looks AMAZING. So impressed and humbled. It's crazy how you can call yourself a feminist and then still be surprised on some deep rooted assumptions. Awesome video, and beautiful work!

[@anarodriguez9294]

I need a friend like you to help me out with all the projects I want to do in my house lol 😂 you are awesome 😎

[@MorhaMaek]

I’ve watched a lot of your videos. Your style and build are exceptional! It’s stylish yet it’s doable by an average person. Thank you!! 🙏🏼

[@ube2slow]

Just stumbled upon some of your videos. You do pretty good work, but there is one thing I would change. It would be so much easier to fill in the screw holes, sand, texture, etc., before you put in all your shelving, that stuff just gets in the way IMO. Anyway, great job, looks good.

[@robertgardner1498]

Talk about perfect. This is exACTly what I needed today. Wife wants a pantry and this was the exactly setup I needed. Thank you!

[@billwrezzes]

Your Awesome.I've been a handyman for 34 years now.your 1 of the best I've seen that's not on hgtv.God Bless keep going!

[@MansaQueen]

This is exactly what my new party looks like and I hate the wire racks, the developers just won’t walk away from it I guess! Glad I found your video because am definitely redoing mine. Thank you 😘

[@kennieloo6357]

I LOVE that you taped your paper up in there while you were working! Genius! I’m going to do that for my projects too 😍

[@nancystapleton872]

Oh, plus - I love the music & how detailed you are with what you use and where to get it! Perfect!!!

[@creativedayswithSue]

Thank you so much for this video. I did this to my pantry and love the result. I added an 100 year old door that I stripped to finish it off. Love your videos, next project is the master closet build.

[@tricia8727]

You are so amazing! I am watching this video in a hotel room evacuated from my home in Oregon. Watching this video was a great distraction for me and very inspiring! Thank you for putting out such great content!

Thank you for showing how to do this. I feel I can tackle small diy projects but with your channel maybe I can do a bit more! Thanks for showing me how! Keep up the good work! I will be sure to check in to see what your up to!

[@HunnersDesigns]

Stefani this was AMAZING! I watched the entire thing and I’m so glad you post these videos as tutorials! I know how much work it is to not only do the project but then film it- so great job!! Also, the paint texture spray was genius!

[@ashleycoker9381]

I've been struggling so much with learning Sketch Up - thank you so much for your previous video! And, this pantry looks AMAZING! Way to go!

[@Heavy-C]

All you need is paintable caulking for almost all of the finish work. Saves a ton of time and is easy.

[@robertodavanzo5711]

Very nice work. Your attention to detail is remarkable.. all projects look easy until we tackle them.. and then we realize how much time and effort are needed to get a beautiful end result...awesome job

[@c50ge]

Great job! It the bottom of the wall there is a 2X4 on all modern construction. If you angle your screws at the bottom of the cabinet mounts you should hit solid lumber.

[@phyllisjrcrestorationdecordesi]

I love this. Your Pantry is EXACTLY like mine. I will use your Pantry DIY as my guide. TFS

[@GunwooGim]

I like how your project is done so clean all the time!

[@qiudandong]

I will try using melamine boards for shelves and cover the bottom with finish white board. That way can save time on painting. And add shelves to the bottom corner .

[@egonzy4473]

Girl you are so talented. Also thank you for always showing the materials you use, they really help me when I build something.

I’m curious for an update on how the shelves held up under the weight. I built floating shelves using the same method/idea, for my kids’ room, and they started to sag a bit holding books
