Present from my Hubby....

I have been wanting a bigger pantry for awhile and Ray and our friend Robert got together to start building the add on onto our old really small pantry! It will have 9ft shelves throughout and then on one side will be a craft table built in with shelves for my mini "Craft" room! It also has a pot shelf on top of it. This will be SO fun to decorate with baskets and tubs...OOH I have SO many ideas for this!!

This is the "before" pic of my dining room area.....

I actually JUST got this wall done with our "patino" name before I had to turn around and take it all off....I AM NOT COMPLAINING...((giddy giddy))

Here is the "in the middle"after photo... not quite done, they got the lighting in and the roof with the pot shelf also the wall of the old pantry is out as well and so now the drywall will be put in this week and shelves and then it will be painted....I can't wait until it is done...I have been wanting a bigger pantry for so long not to mention a CRAFT area and it's almost there...YEAH!!

Way to go Ray and "BOB" the builder....heehee!! I'll post another pic when it is completed...!

This is by far the BEST birthday present EVER!!
