Budget-Friendly DIY Pantry Makeover: Before and After Reveal

We’re finally done! This pantry makeover is finished! This beautiful beast of a pantry makeover is finished and has added so much functionality and storage to this 1,000 square foot home of ours. I’ve seriously been walking by a dozen times a day to sneak a peek, and not just because that’s where the snacks are kept.

When we first toured this house before we bought it, this room was a pantry and had the washer/dryer hookups, but wasn’t much more than a dumping ground for cleaning supplies. Ironically, it also looked like it hadn’t been cleaned in a while.

Before we get to the glorious after photos of this pantry makeover, let’s take a step back to the before:

We knew we needed a functioning laundry, because, ya know, we’ve got a baby, and that the 27-year-old water heater really needed to go (we replaced it with a tankless unit outside, which freed up SO MUCH space). Moving the fridge into the room made a huge difference in the kitchen space, and now we can say we have a butler’s pantry so we’re at least 300% fancier and call each other Jeeves on the daily.

So now, without dragging it along for too long, here are the beautiful after photos:
