Inspiration for my pretty pantry design!
I’m continuing my mental redecoration of our new house – this is what happens when I have four-day weekends. Today’s project is the pretty pantry. I have mentioned before that our future pantry also has a laundry hookup {which we do not plan to use – the current homeowners don’t use it either}. Here is a picture of the space last time we went through – the arrows point to the area for the washer/dryer hookup {I think they would have to be stackable} – they have temporary shelving in place there now:
I’ve been contemplating various ways to effectively use this space. I think I have ultimately decided that our wine refrigerator will fit nicely in place of the laundry unit {it is currently in the basement in our house because our kitchen doesn’t have space for it}. Above that, I am thinking a countertop area, topped with a chalkboard wall.
After using my own chalkboards, I started to become anti-chalk as much as I loved the look. It makes SUCH a mess! But then I saw this post at Honey We’re Home and the chalk markers made a quick appearance on my Christmas list. Turns out this is how Starbucks and other restaurants get all those fancy chalkboard drawings without the mess! I would love to have a giant chalkboard available for quick notes, grocery lists, reminders, etc. Here are some inspiration pictures I have pinned this weekend.
Chalkboard Wall Inspiration
The first several can be found on my new ‘Pantry‘ board on Pinterest. The first is my most perfect chalkboard find for the overall look:
Love this one with such a simple message from Jones Design Company:
What do you think? Are chalkboards overdone? Still fun?
