I’ve been noticing you getting smaller and smaller! And you’re doing it healthily. So congratulations and keep up your amazing work Elysia!!

[@liatori6214]

Awwwhhh, I wish a pantry like yours for myself! My Norwegian grandma had one similar. Awesome job!!

[@debbiepunnachet355]

As you build your cabinets, you might think about pulled-out shelves, especially for the lower ones. My dad did that for my mom. I asked him, “Why!” He said, “When you get older, it gets harder to bend down.” He was so right. It was mom’s forever home and she loved it up to the day she passed. Dad still lives there and he hasn’t changed anything. My husband had some done for me. Love mine! Also not wasting any space, think about making corner cabinets to use that space for spices and sauces. Use a Lazy Susan for those hard to reach places. Just some ideas.

[@Nancy-zk9dj]

@@debbiepunnachet355 I agree! I'm 66, when I see upper cabinets disappear in renovations, I wonder! Luckily I have enough uppers that I hardly need to use the bottom cupboards and save myself the pain of getting back up again! 😊

[@debbiepunnachet355]

@@Nancy-zk9dj, it looks like we had similar upbringing and I’m going to be 66 this year. I tell you, my body maybe getting older but my memories are not fading at all. I was born and grew up in the state of Indiana. But I live in Thailand now.

[@nancydavis670]

Put all your warranties, instructions, etc in a binder. A friend bought a newly constructed house and the contractor had all that in an organized binder. Very impressive.

[@ElysiaEnglish]

Great idea :)

[@terrirouleau4758]

I did this and it has saved many a headache

[@beckyrubin3754]

I did the same! So easy to find appliance info, invoices from contractors etc

Mine are in files in a filing cabinet.

Love it when your boys help you with the different items as your decorations

Way to go Dayton on your great idea for the pantry shelves!

[@Earthy-Artist]

A great improvement, I love when something with good bones is restored & beautified instead of being torn out.

[@maryhammond1417]

Cool to see your son being such a big help. He’s very comfortable on camera!

[@JMKDreams]

The boys are learning so much about love, family, patience, and life itself!🥰

[@yvonnebrown1585]

Loved watching you redo this old pantry. It looks great but still keeps the old look. Well done.

[@margaretbedwell3211]

I think this baking pantry has to be my favorite piece so far....although I love it all, I know how handy it is to have a baking pantry, I just wish I had some drawers that were that deep. All the drawers in my kitchen are shallow. I was born & raised in Canada and I've been in the states now for 65 years, but while living in Hamilton, I loved Eaton's. It was my second favorite store. First favorite was Zellars because as a teen I could afford to shop there using my babysitting money. Thanks for sharing the reno, I know it is a lot of work to video it. Y'all have a Blessed day.

[@brianmfieldwick3494]

Hi Alysa and Philip Your pantry looks amazing. Love the gold handles and hardware. I have that same faux marble paper in my drawers. So clean looking. Great job. Leta

[@janicerobertson4752]

I love you are teaching your Son! The ability to do things yourself is a true gift. What a good idea to use shelve liner on the cupboards. Something tells me, if it was the worst idea in the world, you would have tried to make it work. How sweet ❤️

[@lindaconover7245]

It's wonderful to see your children helping you do this they will take much better care of the kitchen because they had a part of it. I feel your patience teaching them things that we already know you have much more patience than me! It's just wonderful to watch. 🙏🙌💕💯

[@tammyfromohio1095]

It turned out so nice! Your son was a big help and had a great idea to cover the shelves!

[@TheWyndrunner159]

Tip for your hardware. Buy a crock pot at a second hand store. Fill it with 2/3 cleaning vinegar (u will.find it in cleaning supplies) and 1/3 water. Drop all all your hinges or hardware in and turn on high. Let sit over night and everything should be off. I did all the door knobs and hinges in my 1890 house

[@l.e.bingham6643]

It turned out amazing 🙏🏾💖💫💯

[@logannewman7141]

Beautiful cabinet! Such a wonderful thing to have a baking cabinet! Those things are what always causes chaos is kitchen cabinets. I’m jealous!! ☺️❤️

[@angelanapier4248]

That cabinet is beautiful, I’m so glad you restored it instead of tearing it out like a lot of people would have done, great job.👌

[@jeanielipskey1272]

I love the redo of your baking cupboard! Good job. Wish I had a cupboard that my kitchen aide mixer could fit in. I really like your set up!

[@lynngliottone2812]

Love the pantry cabinet..so crisp and clean! The shelf paper is perfect.

♥️Still watching from Ohio and loving that your son is helping and learning from you both. He is such a cutie pie!! Love this project.👍🏾☃️🤟🏼

So happy you were able to fix up the built-in pantry. I love old kitchens! It's gonna be beautiful when you're all done! 💙🤟

Such a difference,,,really pretty, love the gold hardware against the freshly painted wood,,beautiful! And also stealing the binder idea for the warranties and appliance manuals, perfect!

[@ellenkelley6173]

You guys are so wonderful! I love that the boys are included in the work. It's teaching them useful life skills. Thank All of you for sharing your lives with all of us. Really appreciate it!

[@lisajackson4784]

Love it! The nostalgia of those old built ins are just lovely 😊

[@carolmiller8811]

I'm soooo glad that you took the time and effort to restore that beautiful built-in cabinet! Btw, the interior wood is beadboard, which was a very popular choice for kitchens and bathrooms back in the day. (Shiplap boards are much wider.) I didn't see your pretty blue velvet drapes in the living room. I hope you just took them down to keep them from getting full of construction dust. I look forward to seeing the cabinet once all of your supplies are inside. Blessings!❤

[@cindyhunter166]

The hardware came out so good!!! I love that cabinet and am so glad you kept it.

[@cc-carol5951]

Oh wow, Elysia! You really did a great job. So much fun to see Dayton helping you and learning what to do in his own home. I love watching you and Phil train the boys. Yes, it is a dream pantry taking the time to size the shelves to fit your appliances and the lining was such a good addition!!! Lime 💚 green. Lol White is clean looking♥️🎉

[@denisetarabori553]

Best wishes on your Noom adventure!! The pantry cabinet looks wonderful and worth all the effort you put into bringing it back to life. To keep your drawers running open and closed smoothly, the candle wax is a great idea and so is running a bar of soap along those edges. I love that Dayton helped you and came up with a slick and ‘cohesive’ 😊 liner idea! 👍🏻. I have the same KitchenAid mixer in black as you have and I love it! So I was tickled when I saw yours and saw that you were mindful of making the room it needed to go in and out without damage. Plus it’s a nice showpiece item! I am anxious for the day that this is all a completed project and we get to see you enjoying all the fruits of your labor!

[@barbarageddes9390]

love that baking pantry girl...it's amazing - and the contact paper lining the drawers and shelves is awesome!

[@lisaconnelly7731]

Dayton is simply adorable!!! Mother/son projects are remembered for a lifetime! His idea for lining the shelves is fantastic because of continuity of design and ease of cleaning. The marble print not matching is no problem since houses like yours were added to over decades and finishes wouldn't be the exact match.🤟 lovely cabinet.

[@kaz6655]

Love it it looks sooo gorgeous. Defo a great idea to use the covering. It will look even better when you get your cricut out to label and fancy it up lol

[@colleenseibel5883]

I love what you did with the pantry cupboard Elysia!!!....I just renovated my main bathroom ..painted my vanity and lined my drawers and under the sink with the exact same liner..😁Great choice!!...Your right Elysia about the grid marks on the back of the liner making it much easier to cut the correct size. I’m super excited to see kitchen come together!!!...Cheers🤟🏼

This pantry cabinet is beautiful. The counter tops are going to look great. Marble has actually a variety of veining in homes I have seen it in (sometimes in the same room). The gold hardware is a nice touch. 🤟

[@anitak_ilovepink]

Marble is natural, and you are correct it shouldn't match exactly but have a variety of veins.

[@annettearties8538]

Love the cabinet with the glass doors and gold accents. It looks as if the bead board has opening between the boards, I could be wrong, but that's how it looks to me. Suggestion, the cabinet looks as if it could use some caulking, but turned out great. I apologize, if I am incorrect.

[@shirleydickey6140]

I would of used a cute wall paper in the drawers with mustard yellow from the rug or the Nova Scotia red that you love for some hidden pops of color. But having everything crisp and clean is always welcome in a kitchen. It's so nice to have a team of helpers, you and family are rocking that old house . 🇺🇸❤❤❤🇨🇦
