Mudroom Makeover
Before
The addition of shelving, doors and drawers were added for food storage
When our search for a new home began, one feature consistently topped my wishlist, a dedicated room for storing and displaying my dishes and dish collectibles, a "dish pantry nook." This house has the beds and baths I need, but the "nook" space was absent. I knew I would need to design a space where all my dishes could be stored and displayed.

Previous pantry renovation for Dish Pantry Nook
After the dish nook drawing was finished, a good food storage plan was needed. I knew I would be using the existing open cabinet that was already in place in the garage entry mudroom. This could be turned into a built-in pantry with doors and shelves, providing a designated space for storing groceries. Additionally, I drew up a built-in pantry plan with shelves and doors to be installed in the adjacent laundry room. This would expand the overall food storage capacity and would solve my food storage problem. Although this would not be the walk-in pantry I enjoyed and began with, it does provide plenty of miscellaneous and food storage space with ease. Problem solved.
Completed Food Storage cabinet in garage entry hallway
Despite some messy moments, (well actually a lot), and contractor delays that pushed the timeline, the completed pantry conversion was well worth it. The transformation from cluttered garage entry mudroom to organized, built-in storage space, made the entire renovation worthwhile.
