I think that wallpaper turned out a better shade than what was advertised! It really works with the home! Your husband has great carpentry skills even though he isn't a carpenter. He should be proud. Beautiful space!

[@OldWorldHome]

Yes it all worked out in the end! He really did such an amazing job 💛

[@francinehogsett3065]

Looks beautiful….very talented husband 😊❤️ you have a great eye for details

[@bonniegarland4236]

Oh my goodness how beautiful! Your husband did an amazing job on the cabinet and the trim just makes it all tie together! You guys are quite the team. Congratulations it’s beautiful!

[@OldWorldHome]

Thank you so much!

[@SimpleLife365]

Your cozy home with all its warm, welcoming, timeless touches has always been my favorite home on KZbin. It is simply classic. You and Dan are a wonderful team. I love how you both make your dwelling grow and adjust to meet the changing needs of your sweet family. Blessings! 💚

Wow he did an amazing job building this pantry insert! You did great painting it and installing the wallpaper. I know you will enjoy it so much! Love it!

[@lindahaines9299]

Your husband did a terrific job !

[@carolrodenbeck2381]

I love everything about your pantry ... the wallpaper, paint color, stain, hardware, deep drawers, trim....you are so fortunate to have a husband that not only sees your dream but can build and bring it to life. Enjoy!! #teamwork

[@OldWorldHome]

#blessed

[@enjoyingthethyme1624]

What a beautiful space you both created for your family. I loved watching the teamwork. It makes it feel extra special. I feel like we are very similar when it comes to little details. People will often comment or even tease me for enjoying these little extra details. However, it makes me happy and brings ME joy and I guess that's all that really matters ❤

[@lauriel.86]

It came out so pretty. It really fits the English cottage asthetic that runs throughout your house. So charming.

[@juliaclayton1337]

A beautiful transformation! Dan is very talented! I love how you styled everything. I know you all will enjoy that space!

[@vintagebeliever5023]

Beautiful. Maybe a big basket on top as a holding station 😊 You are blessed to have a handy husband. My husband would of threw up a couple shelves and call it a day. This project was made out of love. 😊

[@OldWorldHome]

I went ahead and tried that suggestion with a large basket we keep on our refrigerator and I loved the look! Our fridge looked empty though, so I'll have to keep an eye out for another large rectangular basket 💛

[@DH-qz2so]

Love the Pantry Makeover! Wouldn't it be fun to make it a Baking Centre...with all your baking needs in there, sugar, flour, sprinkles, measuring cups and baskets for cookie cutters, etc.! You are both so creative and handy with projects!

[@sueknicely504]

Dan did an amazing job on the pantry! 😮 an idea I thought of in your spice cupboard is putting some of that wall paper on your vent, that would look pretty when you open up the doors! 😊 that is if you have leftover paper!

[@breannandcaleb]

I just want to tell you I’ve been a subscriber since you were pregnant with your first and did her nursery tour, I was a teen then and now I’m a mom of two and you’ve been and continue to be such a wonderful example of a homemaker! I have loved your channel for years and of course I still do!!!You are such an authentic, sweet mama! all love ❤❤❤

[@comfortablespaces]

It looks absolutely lovely Hilary! It looks like such an expensive update. Your hubby did an amazing job on those drawers. He has wood working potential. Love the color and the wallpaper. So beautiful!

[@PhilipDonna1982]

Amazing! It’s like a cozy little room all of its own. It would make a great coffee station, too with a power strip to run anything electric. Also to avoid banging up your drawer fronts, consider adding felt strips or just a small felt squares to the inside of your door molding so the drawers would bump into them. And with Valentine’s Day just yesterday, this kind of thing to me shows love in action. Flowers, cards, etc. are nice but your husband making this effort for you is 100 times better.

[@OldWorldHome]

Yes and amen! And yes we will be adding some padded strips for that very reason 💛

[@kellieliacopoulos8005]

Hi Hilary! YAY!!! What a fun little space!! You could hide from your kids in there!! Hahah!! 😉Have a great weekend and thank you for sharing!! 🥰

[@maryohare4141]

As your kids grow into teens...a low basket for phones and a strip charger could be perfect on that small shelf. It could be a nightly routine as they grab after school snack...and keep phones there for morning.

[@OldWorldHome]

Such a great idea, thank you!

[@dianakendrick6354]

You and Dan did a beautiful job! I love the warmth and cozy it adds to the kitchen. I have a pantry in my kitchen that is basically the same size and now this makes me want to redo ours.

[@carolschultz3588]

Looks so nice. Always fun to have a new beautiful functional space.

[@myview6852]

A lovely upgrade. If you ever install drawers again, consider putting the rails under the drawers so you can maximize the width of the drawer and get more storage space. For seasonal “ extra space consider a narrow floating shelf simply put over the two pieces of wood extended out on the two side walls from your microwave shelf. When you don’t need it you can simply take it off and during holidays, for example, you can have a shallow shelf in front of your microwave to hold some seasonal extras.

[@charmingintrovert3240]

I was thinking the same thing! There was a lot of thick wood and wasted space on either side of the drawers. Looks fine when they're closed, but less actual storage space inside the drawers left to right.

[@OldWorldHome]

Part of the building process included making the mistake of building the drawers too wide and then they couldn't fit through the opening! Unfortunately to make them fit they had to be more narrow than the actual cabinet space in order to fit through the doorway. Hope that makes sense! 💛

[@janejones1797]

I love everything about your new pantry. That wallpaper is gorgeous! You and Dan did an excellent job!

[@nikkivenable73]

Your husband is very talented! Wow! Between the built-ins, the fireplace, and now this pantry. Great job, Dan!

[@OldWorldHome]

He really is! 💛

[@kellybarfoot8124]

The pantry is beautiful! I love wallpaper, especially flowers ❤ I don't think anything is a better organization tool than a drawer. They hold so much and you can see and access everything. We are replacing all our base cabinets with large drawers in our reno and I'm so excited to put everything in them. I also love to work together with my husband on projects..they say it stresses a marriage but we've been married 35 years and had a whole lot of fun doing a lot of different projects together 😊

[@OldWorldHome]

I agree, of course the stressors happen to every couple, but we really enjoy tackling projects together 💛

[@judyellen4412]

Nice job you two! It was worth the 3 weeks work and wait. Other than the cabinet of wonderful drawers, my favourite part that makes it so cute is the baby shelf with the mini corbels. That little shelf will come in so handy. It all ties into the rest of your house beautifully.

[@cantocant2346]

What a beautiful space!! So elegant.

[@RyanDoll-cw9zn]

This was helpful! The ideas for organizing a pantry in a small space were practical and easy to follow. I loved how you incorporated English-inspired design elements to make the pantry both functional and charming.

[@summergirl6130]

Just FYI maple syrup is supposed to be stored in the refrigerator after opening. It doesn’t contain the antimicrobial properties that honey does.

[@OldWorldHome]

We never refrigerated it growing up, and I never have in my own home as well, with no issues. We also go through it pretty quick as a family of 6 💛

[@lauramitchell6725]

We lived in Vermont for ten years and had friends who made maple syrup. They all kept theirs in the refrigerator but most of them bought or made it by the gallon.(It takes forty gallons of sap to make one gallon of syrup.) Hillary’s family probably does use that size up in time. Interesting fact that if it does develop a little mold on the surface,you can carefully skim it off,boil and use.(Too precious to discard!)

[@celticsurfersully13]

Your "new" pantry is beautiful and efficient. I understand why you leave the door open! You and your husband are both very talented.

[@victoriagreenway6832]

Great job!!! I think you really made the most of this space possible. It looks so good with the wallpaper, and I love a new gray paint color. It was very smart of Dan to construct the drawers like he did. He's a keeper.😄💕

[@terryruiz7417]

So well done! Older homes tend to have what seems such awkward storage spaces. Our living style has changed over the years, but you and your husband certainly did a lively job with this extra little storage area.

[@gopugmama4408]

Love, love, love the pantry! It looks amazing. Dan did a wonderful job, but I'm not surprised, He is such a talented man. I would want to leave the pantry door open all the time just to gaze at it! Your cottage decor is unique and lovely!💗

[@karenstairs8273]

Nicely done. Dan did a great job! The wall paper was a very nice touch! I too use wide mouth jars with the white lids in my pantry. I have my broom and mop in my pantry too. I call my pantry The Mercantile (an Ode to Little House)

[@esther61374]

Gorgeous! Well done.

[@TheSimpleWren]

What a lovely pantry space! The cabinet your husband built looks very professional. The wallpaper, hardware and even the broom and mop are very nice. Those little touches are the icing on the cake!

[@wdj8991]

Beautiful makeover! I love seeing a smaller pantry. I’ve never had a real walk-in pantry in any home. You may want to install a light under the microwave shelf. They have motion activated ones. Or put a tiny lamp on the butcher block!

[@OldWorldHome]

Oh I LOVE the idea of a tiny lamp 💛

[@ginahernandez3219]

Oh wow! Pantry looks functional and very nice. Thanks for sharing, Hilary ❤

[@lindaroyal8161]

It's super cute! So much more functional than what it used to be. It doesn't look as cluttered as before, it's neat & tidy. I like the wall paper and the trim elements, cottage charm and charming! Nicely done!

[@marthamechelis6368]

Did I notice that you are measuring the kids' height in the closet? We do that with our grand kids!! I wish I could borrow your wonderful hubby! You guys did a wonderful job! Thanks for sharing your home with us! Now you've got me up and purging!!

[@OldWorldHome]

Yes we've been using this closet to measure them since we moved in 💛 Happy purging!

[@sharonsomers5513]

The pantry turned out beautiful. Love the wallpaper and your husband did a great job with the drawers.

[@claudialeger3208]

What a great space. Thinking outside the box with simplicity and functionality makes it seem like an addition to your kitchen. Great job!

[@lisaengland880]

The pantry turned out beautifully. I love your style . Dan did a great job on those drawers . I love how neat and clean your home always looks . Thanks for sharing .

[@OldWorldHome]

Thank you for watching! It’s definitely not always neat and clean, but I try 😅

[@reniehandler2595]

Oh wow….Hilary and Dan…..👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻…..GREAT JOB!!! A total transformation!! I got so many ideas! Love it! 😍

[@alwaysromancatholic]

The outlet in the pantry is so smart! Beautiful remodel. Your husband has now added cabinet making to his skillset. Wow!!!

[@mimiwhite5762]

How fun to open the pantry door everyday! Beautiful! 👍👍❤️

This pantry is a beautiful example of making the space you have fit your life and your style. It's so lovely!

[@stephaniespear7053]

Looks so good! Thanks for being so inspiring!

[@OldWorldHome]

Thank you for being here!

[@moonbeamwishes]

This is absolutely beautiful and so inspiring!! I’m so grateful that this video popped up in my feed as now I really wish to wallpaper closets and make little nooks a bit more lovelier to gleam each time the door is opened. Your kitchen is breathtaking and I am definitely off to watch more of your videos 🤍have a wonderful day 🥀🥀🥀

[@susansmith493]

Its beautiful. Put one of those tiny strip lights (or another motion light) under the decorative shelf to light up that gorgeous shelf and cabinet that Dan built. It's so beautiful, i swear i'd take the door off. :)

[@ericanh5711]

Very nice job! Isn’t that how it always works out…you think a project won’t take long yet it does. I always tell my husband that if we plan a weekend to do a project its not enough time. Our Sunroom was supposed to be a weekend job…turned into a summer project and we had to hire people to install the new floor…budgeted and spent 3x’s that too! But, now its beautiful and cozy and a great space! I also have a small pantry and kitchen and found your video inspiring and just the motivation I need to reorganize my space!!!

[@OldWorldHome]

The reality is, once you have the space opened up and messy you might as well tackle all the little projects, and they add up, time and budget-wise. Always worth it in the end when everything's cleaned up and you can just enjoy knowing what all was accomplished 💛

[@galemathews2793]

i love your pantry makeover and I especially like having the microwave in the pantry. My microwave is over the gas stove in my kitchen. We don’t have much counter space at all. At 77 years old, I have lost 2 inches in height and the microwave is hard to reach. Not a problem because we don’t use it a lot.

[@colorcrayon54]

Hilary, you & your hubby are so clever! What a great idea that both of you brought to life! Very cool!

[@crterwil]

Well done! I also love what looks like the growing heights of your children. My grandchildren do this in my kitchen as well!

[@lindasegraves6207]

Dan did a wonderful job on the pantry. As always he does beautiful work especially to say he isn't a professional. Not 1 project we have done has ever been done in our time frame. Hilary you do a beautiful job painting everything and you amaze me with your organization. Both of you over the 10 years have made great improvements to both your homes, especially this home. I enjoy watching DIY'S or tours of smaller homes more than larger ones even though there can be exceptions. Ty for sharing with us.

[@stephaniepyles4678]

It's really just beautiful! You and Dan did a wonderful job and it is custom tailored to fit your family's needs.

Terrific! Beautiful carpentry, Dan.

[@CharlotteFairchild]

I had the sink cutout of the granite I had put into the pantry on top of 2 short filing cabinets. I placed a wire shelf on top of that. My pantry holds so much more and is easier to keep nice.

[@OldWorldHome]

Great idea to repurpose that piece!

[@maryohare4141]

I had my sink cut-out and put felt on the underside, then used it for a cutting board, which protected my new drainboards.

[@CharlotteFairchild]

They gave me a cutting board from scraps of the granite I didn't use. There are so many things one can do with scraps from granite/marble places!.@@maryohare4141
