The Never Ending Pantry Project

Remember that pantry project we started oh, a year ago? Yeah. We're back at it. Again. It's one of the projects I desperately want to get finished before Spring hits and the weather warms up. Otherwise it's likely to be another year before it gets done. So over the past couple weeks, he's been busy patching the gaping holes where walls used to be.And started adding trim to the back porch side of the room to match the other "exterior" trim as the room used to be an open porch. (This door was installed in the kitchen by the POs, not sure what part of the house it came from originally as all other closet doors appear to be intact. We moved it here so we could move the fridge back in it's place.)
It's funny how your priorities change. A year ago I had a beautiful, historically appropriate pantry/mudroom in mind reusing the original kitchen cabinets. Now, a year later, I'd settle for a couple of coat hooks and a few two by fours as shelving.

The smaller projects are the ones that take the longest. Especially when they don't involve a kitchen or bathroom that effect our daily routines.
