We’ve had lots of fun things happening around here lately, and one of them being my mom’s new pretty green pantry! I’ve said it time and time again, but paint makes the world of difference!
I SO wish we had that ROOM for our pantry. Geesh.
Check out the before.
Sorry for the horrible before photos. I think my iphone takes worse and worse pictures as time goes on.
We started out by clearing everything out obviously, then wiping down the shelves with some trusty Bounty paper towels and cleaning the floor with this handy Swiffer Sweeper. All supplies that we bought at The Home Depot.
The clean shelves can now store the Gain flings too!
After everything was clean we painted with a really pretty olive green called Tansy by Sherwin-Williams. My mom used that color in her old house too.
Then we added a few pieces of art that she had back on the wall.
Here are a few more pics.
I’ll say it again…never underestimate the power of paint! And some deep cleaning! :)

Great Job! Love the green. My dining room at a prior home was painted a similar color (a Martha Stewart paint color when Sherwin Williams carried that paint line). It always made me feel so happy! Alas, our new house faces a different direction and the color was ALL wrong! :(
This pantry looks so nice. Really like the green! Thanks for a chance to win.

A really pretty green. And a great space.
Love the idea of painting the pantry….super fun!!!
Gorgeous color!! I’m jealous of all the room.
That is so pretty! A pantry is on my wish list.
Such a retro green – and absolutely FANTASTIC! Husband turned our small coat closet into a “pantry” – I may need to update the paint color.

Such great ideas and I love the organizing :)

I love the green. I don’t have a pantry at my house but I do have a lot of kitchen cabinets to make up for it.
A pantry that size is a dream! Agree that paint changes everything! Have a couple rooms I plan to change this summer!
The green makes me smile! Feel good color!
Holy cow, that Pantry is larger than my laundry room!!!
My pantry is tiny and built into the kitchen cabinets.
Love the color. Thanks for a chance for a giveaway.
I love the color of that paint too, and everything looks so organized and easy to find. I would love to do that.
Ok, now I need a pantry!

great pantry! mine is 2 adjoining walls w/ shelves which make it similar to yours howver i dont have that much space because it is an enclosed pantry. Its an urgent project for me however i promised my daughter to do her room first and that is going totake a while. Love that the baskets and boxes are mismatching and matching in a way/ thanks!!!

thank you so much for the opportunity
Great job! Love the simple fix! Would love to win!
Adding painting my pantry to the list of projects ! Looks wonderful. I don’t know Gain Flings. Going to check them out right now
You’ve inspired me! That’s it! I’m going to go get a blue that makes my heart soar and paint my otherwise blah laundry room and I may see if I can create a small pantry out of a under-the-stairs closet in my kitchen. Life is too short not to enjoy all of the little things surrounding us, including color.
I envy that large pantry. To have the extra fridge it there instead of the garage would be icing on the cake. Love the color combo! Paint makes me happy and I love changing it! This inspires me to paint mine. Now I just need to find the time!

I pinned that beautiful makeover! Hopefully it inspires people to beautify their pantry! Yours now your mom’s, I will start calling you the pantry queen! Nice job as always Emily!
Love the color on the walls!
Thanks for the idea of painting the walls–I’m going to paint my pantry wall a warm, soft yellow.
Love the green pantry!!!! Wish I had a big pantry like that. Love every color you have painted your house I have used several of your same colors in my house.
I love your pantry, the size, the color & especially the wire racks for the cans.
