Food Pantry with all the Trimmings
Monday (the last day of our long weekend-boo!) we worked some more on the pantry. First we added the "perfect fit" pieces along the top and bottom.
Then it was time to trim. We took a trip to our lumber yard and found this thinner wood that could be cut on the table saw and made into the perfect trim. Why does it make me so happy when we are able to use some of this junk that most people would have thrown away? This wood came from the stack that was inside the barn we tore down. It makes me happy because it has a look you cannot buy, it was laying in a barn wasting away and then laying in our yard taking up space and it feels good to clean something up, it has it's own story (how many pantry trims can say that?), and it was free!
So after testing out different cuts and ways to do it, we were pleased to come up with this look.
Before adding the trim on these two corners, we decided the door should be in place first. So Jason cut out the annoying tripper.
And then set the door (from Restore!) in place and shimmed and jiggled until it worked just right.
And here is the finished product (well the door needs some serious cleaning and the inside needs shelving, but you get the picture.)
After stopping by the house where we live for some lunch, we went on a shopping trip. First, the air compressor, which is the power behind the nail/trim nail gun and is very important to finishing up the house, is having a problem. So we went on a search for a part. One is ordered and now we must just wait for it to get here. We also shopped for the trim kits for the can lights. After a nice dinner with Jason's parents, we stopped back by the Weld House to test out and decide which ones to buy more of. For the kitchen/den area, we decided on these white, eyeball lights. You can focus the light on different areas.
We chose these simple, nickel finish trims for the master bedroom.
And white for the hall/den. We have a few to return and a few more to buy before we install all 46! It will be nice to finally have some light on the subject. I am not sure what else is required to happen before these actually work, but I think we're making progress.
