As a family of 6 we are busting out of our home due to lack of space. We are having to come up with clever organizations to remedy the lack of space.
I had stumbled on Pinterest a Pin for a spice rack pull out that fits on the side of the fridge. I showed my husband and next thing I knew he was at the hardware store purchasing the items to build me one but for can goods!
This is my pantry before
plus we use the top of our fridge for storage
What a mess right?
Here is the solution
This slider my husband made slides between our fridge and pantry closet. It has castor's on the bottom making it easy to pull out. Now my pantry is not so cluttered, I moved the can goods into my slider and was able to remove the clutter from the top of the fridge into the pantry!
I am able to store can goods, salad dressings, etc. on the shelf, he made the shelves inside the pull out adjustable so that I can change it to different height variations when needed.
So what do you think?
That is GREAT!!!
ReplyDeleteDo the items fall off that shelf when you open it? I am thought of adding a doweling to the front of them about half way up that woudl hold them in place if they did. I Love the shelf,great Job.
ReplyDeleteSimply Raisings - no the items do not fall off at all. I of course do not pull it out fast, gently. :) I love ours - wish I had room on both sides of our fridge I would have him add one on both sides! :) Thanks!
ReplyDeleteOh I LOVE this!! He needs to post his how to so I can get my hubby to make one.
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome, but the shelf and the husband!

ReplyDeleteThat is GREAT! Not only are we a family of nine, but being a military family we are always moving. These things really mess with our storage and the kitchen is the worst! I'll have to show my hubby this. Yours did a great job!

That was a first for me! I didn't even notice that it slides! Way too cool and I'd love to have like one of those in my oh so messy kitchen too!
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome! We also have a similar pantry to yours & I am always frustrated with the lack of organization with it. I am going to show this to my hubby too. Ingenius!
ReplyDeletecool will do this also when setting up our own house
ReplyDeleteI need that for my new house!
ReplyDeleteI love it!! That will solve so many problems in my house as well!
ReplyDeleteAmazing! Can he come make me one? Our new house has a pantry that is 1/4 the size of our old one and I'm having issues!

How cool! We don't have a pantry, but luckily we have quite a few cabinets. Still, this is a neat way to use additional space!
ReplyDeleteOMG, can I borrow him for a weekend or two??? How awesome!
ReplyDeleteI need one of those!
ReplyDeleteThat is so cool! Just one question, do you have problems with the cans falling off when you move the slider?
ReplyDeleteShowing this to my husband tonight.
Amazing!! I wouldn't want to push it back, it's so pretty!! Congrats!
ReplyDeleteCool!! I am going to have to show my hubby this! This is such a great idea!
ReplyDeleteOmg! I saw that idea on Pinterest and was in awe! I can't believe he actually made that for you - How sweet!
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, we just bought a new, bigger fridge, and we don't have a side space where we could even put one of those :(
LOOVE this! What a great idea! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteYou are one lucky gal to have a hubby do that for you! It is one great space saver.

I LOVE it and I am sending this to my husband to look at!
ReplyDeleteOMG I need this! My house doesn't even have a pantry! I am pinning this and showing my husband tonight! Thank You!
ReplyDeleteYou have me looking at my fridge seeing if there is room. I don't think I have room though :( Great work using that hidden space. My Anything Goes linky party just started for the day if you want another place to share.
