Townhome Tuesday: Easy to Install Pull-out Pantry Shelves

I've always gazed upon pull-out shelves in the kitchen with awe, but I never really thought it was something I would be able to enjoy in my first home. Well it turns out they are super easy to install and I'm not really sure why we waited so long to put them in. Our pantry used to have just regular shelves, and while they were huge and deep, all of the food in the back was inaccessible and it was hard to keep everything organized. Then we installed awesome pull-out shelves and our lives changed forever. We are able to store a ton more food and keep everything looking great and organized. Check it out:

Now our tiny pantry easily fits all of our food.

All you have to do is buy the shelves from Lowes or Home Depot. Then you can screw the new shelves right into the old shelves.

These little pins were key to the success of our project. After the new shelves were installed, once we pulled them out the weight of the stuff would caused the white shelf (original shelf) to tip. We attached these pins on top of all four corners of the white shelf to keep the shelf stable.

The last part of this project was putting place mats at the bottom of each wire shelf to keep things from falling through - plus they look pretty.
