Speaking of which, at the beginning of February, the hubby and I were working our way through painting the inside of the house. While doing this, we decided it was time to work on the laundry room. It needed more storage space, and with all my canning jars I was running out of cabinet space. Sooooo, we decided to turn my laundry room into a laundry/pantry room. It's also where my dogs sleep and the cats get fed. Talk about multi-tasking! LOL.
Anyway, here are some pictures of the process. I love the new space and the ability to display my canned items instead of hiding them away in a cabinet.

| Before! With everything removed, this is where the washer & dryer go. |
 |
| Fresh paint & the first shelf goes in. |
 |
| Small shelves in the corner beside the back door. This is for the animals. |
 |
| More shelves. |
 |
| The beautiful jars full of goodies! |
 |
| All my empty jars at the top. You can tell it's time to do some canning, again. |
I wish I could get better shots of the entire project, but the room is small and the shelves wrap around the three walls. On the fourth wall the door to the kitchen, a wooden plastic bag holder, and hooks for the broom, Swiffer, and duster.
Where do you keep your canned stuff? Do you have the space to display the beauties, or do you have to hid them away in a cabinet?
Happy spring!
P.S. I forgot to mention above that every single one of these boards came out of my passed FIL's storage building and they used to be frames to, of all things, WATERBEDS! :D
