Updating Your Pantry with Farmhouse Charm

An easy way to add your own rustic wood shelving.

- Lynn Langford

Hey there, Farmhouse Friends!

Do you happen to have wire shelving in your kitchen pantry? If so, you can transform your wire shelved pantry into a rustic, farmhouse-inspired space with the simple addition of wood shelving. Not only does this upgrade add warmth and character to your kitchen, but it also enhances functionality by maximizing storage and organization.

Whether you're a seasoned DIYer or just starting out, installing wood shelves is an easy and budget-friendly project that can make a big impact. In this tutorial, I'll walk you through the step-by-step process so you can achieve that charming, farmhouse look with ease. Let's get started!

WHAT YOU'LL DO:

1. Remove all food items and wire shelving from the pantry.

2. We also removed the inside trim of the closet to make extra space before installing the shelves. When the shelves were in, we put it back up.

3. Repair walls if needed with caulk or wood putty (we installed our wood shelves at the same level as the previous shelving, so the furring strips covered up any holes).
