We started renovating our home 2 years ago, and as most of you can probably appreciate, when you’re doing most of the work yourselves, then, things move at a snail's pace.
We are still yet to build our kitchen, we have a sink and a stove but that’s a project for another day. In the meantime we decided to design and build our new walk in pantry.
We redesigned the original sleep out and added a walk-in pantry off the new kitchen. I want a clean kitchen, so I designed the pantry to hold all of the dry food, small appliances, and utility storage.
Here's how we built it.
The next phase will be to build drawers for the base unity and doors for the utility cupboards.
We also have some antique doors we found that we will add to the entrance of the pantry.
Happy DIYing

Steps
Step 1
We used VJ sheet on the back wall of the pantry and giprock on the ceiling and remaining walls. Once we had them installed we tape and plastered the giprock and filled the nail and screw holes.
Step 2
Once sanded I colour drenched the room using Dulux Wash and Wear in Press Agent.
Step 3
Derek and I build the pantry shelves and the base box out of plywood, we plan to add drawers as a phase two but the base shelves will work for now.
Step 4
We added timber trim to the face of the shelves to strengthen the shelves and make the look more custom. We also added LED flexible tape lights behind the cornice and trim for ambient lighting.
As the Air fryer and kettle will be in the pantry we added an extractor fan and LED recessed lights
We also found a commercial fridge on market place.
Step 5
The counter top is made out of VJ’s that came out of our original kitchen. Derek planed and cut them down and we sanded and stained them using Feast Watson Liming White stain and Varnish.
