PANTRY MAKE-OVER

Started a new project before finishing another. Never a
good idea but here it is.

Yes this was my gross pantry shelf. I didn't want to paint it because it tends to get sticky so I went to my trusty Pinterest site and looked for ideas. Purchased plain white contact paper at Walmart for under 5.00 and one roll was barely enough for all of my shelves.
I purchased two rolls of the black and white contact paper on Amazon just because I couldn't find any in town that I really liked. Amazon had quite a few to choose from and the cost was right around 20.00. Two rolls were plenty.
It was pretty easy to put the contact paper up and one person could do it however it is much much easier with two. Having someone to hold it while you position it correctly is a huge help.
I purchased most of my glass containers from Walmart because it is so much less expensice then most places. A jar I got at Walmart for 4.79 I saw at Cost Plus for 7.99 and Hobby Lobby for 6.99. I did get some at Cost Plus just because I wanted a variety.
This is the end result and I couldn't be happier. It didn't take much time at all. It could easily be a day project and it looks so much better. You can't see in the picture but I used black electrical tape at the end of the contact paper and it looks very nice. You would never know it was electrical tape and it is cheap.

Still need to finish the Laundry room.
Ordered some supplies I need and they are due in any day now. So excited!!

LOVE it!!! I would have picked the exact same background contact paper - super cute! :)
My pantry is fairly organized but I definitely need to cute it up!
Yep. Darn that pinterest. I TOTALLY agree.
Thanks for sharing - nice job!

I LOVE it!!! Turned out amazing! I really need to get some containers and organize my pantry because it's sooooo small that I need to utilize all the space I can. Right now it's a disaster :/ Drives me crazy everyone I open it!
