The pantry finale

[primsong]

The pantry is finished up! The oversized bird-of-paradise made a good focal point, all of it will be behind metal wire shelves so it had to pop to still show up like I wanted it to. It's crazy enough for a nice zap of color when I want one but not out in daily use so it doesn't overwhelm the overall house feel.

The furnace hole was covered with a painted ceiling tile, and the embedded pipe was capped and painted white, I think I'll probably attach something dangly to it with magnets. Oh, and I put a giant wooden banana cutout over the door because everyone needs a giant wooden banana cutout over their pantry door.



Voila!

colorful.

"furnace hole?" is that where a furnace was at one point?

Sure was - a big monster one too. The house is a 60s house with various quirks and one of them was it came with two furnaces, one for either end of the house. We are connecting the two ducting networks and just having one so this former furnace room is being repurposed as a badly-needed pantry. Turns out ceiling tiles are just the right size to plug that kind of hole.
