Wow! What a weekend. Today alone was an amazing high energy day. We managed to install our new pantry cabinets, put the pantry back, and entertain a friend from college!
First of all, hanging out with IdaRose for the first time in a very long time was awesome. It was a big surprise since we heard from her yesterday, but the Mortroski Mid-century has a welcome mat out 24-7 so we were ready.
I wish we lived closer, we’d probably have lots of fun dinners and do cool things together. And I wish I wasn’t traveling this week while she’s in Dallas because I’d love to take her to some of the museums and restaurants. But at least we had a lovely dinner and a few hours together tonight.
And before she came over, Bruce and I were very busy today (I realize this is a surprise):
Putting together the new cabinets for the pantry. Notice the supervisor.
The gutted closet that will be a pantry. Notice the new supervisor.
Bruce doing the finesse stuff.
The final result
People, this is an Ikea setup. We are very impressed! We have 1/2 for pantry items (canned goods, staples) and 1/2 for cleaning stuff (home for vacuum, broom, steam mop, cleaning supplies). It’s lovely and well thought-out. Works for us–and we could get it all installed in a Sunday.
Sow, Sew, So 
Beautiful pantry doors!! I love the supervisors.

Bought items at Ikea some time ago – had to get an engineer to assist with opening the box!! (JOKE) If we keep endorsing Ikea – who knows good things might come our way? IKEA, IKEA, are you taking notice!!

Ha! You just need to borrow the Mortroski Mid-century furniture assembly crew. We’re pretty good at it these days.

Keep the cabinet nice and neat: don’t clutter it by buying too many cleaning supplies. Have fun instead.

You are correct! That is one reason that we decided to get these cabinets: they only hold enough. We are trying to keep everything streamlined.
