Home Renovations: Pantry Make-Over
Hey Everyone!
Here is project #2 in my home renovation series. My husband and I are trying to get as many projects down before we move in and before the next contractor start on the floors and the house becomes off limits.
This is a "How I did it" video with all the steps I did. It was a pretty easy make-over, but I had to do a LOT of waiting for things to dry. The more challenging part was the paint removal. I don't know how many layers of paint were on the shelves before I started, but it was tough to remove. I also had to remove all the solvent from the boards in order to run them through my planer. The Kwik-Strip was easy to remove, but I only had that on 4 of the 11 boards. I used the Cirtistrip on the rest. THAT was a nightmare. I did not like how messy it was and the residue that was left over was hard to remove. Maybe I was doing it wrong, who knows. But out of the two products. I like the Kwik-Strip better. If you use this product, make sure you are outside or in a well ventilated area and wear protective gear. Also, if it is cold out, it will work, but not as good as if it was 60°. So keep that in mind.
After I primed and painted all of the shelves and walls. I decided to run a bead of caulk where the shelves met the wall. Reason is because the shelves were not perfectly flush to the wall and had gaps. So I didn't want any food or whatever to fall behind there. After everything was dried, I went back and put a sealant on the shelves. I did this to protect the shelves from spills and with them being ultra while, I didn't want a can of beans to scuffs or chip the paint after all of my hard work.
I don't recommend using the Liquid Nails. I should have just nailed or screwed the shelves in place. The Liquid nail does work and will hold, but if anything happens and I need to take a shelf out, it is going to break the wood and definitely mess up the wall. I thought at the time, using this product I could have no nail holes showing and won't damage the wall with the hammer or accidently split the wood. Lessoned learned. Side note : On the 2 top shelves, I did go back and place a few nails in them since it only has support on 2 sides and not 3 like the others.
So if you are looking to give your pantry a little make-over. Paint and wallpaper makes a BIG difference.
