that's awesome - I love it! someone on kitchens used an old type screen door on her pantry and I loved that. she had an old type farm kitchen and it was like the icing on a cake.

I like it too. Thumbs up!

I love it! It so fits your house, is compact and yet displays your dishes. Absolutely perfect.

whaaaaat u mean this wasnt my idea? LOL i mussta seen it somewhere and it stuck in my head

it was a yr or so back over on kitchens. An old style farm kitchen. She had a big stove and hood on one side with a door to the right of it. The sink run was to the right of the door and running the other direction. Cabs were 2 toned - one was green. she had an island of sorts - think it was made out of something old. Then her pantry was off to the left of the stove. The screen used was more elaborate tho.

I think it was just her and her dh. no kids at home - maybe some but grown.

maybe 'oldhouse' was in her board name?

maybe 'oldhouse' was in her board name? I searched but there are 40 pages of posts. nothing popped up as if the board name tho.

oops. sorry about the dup post. I didn't think it posted the first time so I went to kitchens to search...

I have a screen door as a decoration too. I used to have mirrors in it and might do that again?? Made a great wall mirror. Right now I just have it as an accent in our master bath. This is not how it looks now but this picture shows the old screen door the best. I used to have it painted green too.I wish I could use it on my studio room but it just will not fit the door frame.

msjay2u, that is so cute. I love that you re-used the door that had already given years of service!

I think you all are thinking of farmhousebound's pantry door:

That looks awesome, what a clever idea. I love it!

Love the double screen doors.

MSJ I found another picture of the screen door when it was green. I also was inspired by your door to try again to make it work in my studio doorway. If I can cut down an inch off each side it will fit. I really wish I had a table saw to use.

Can not wait to see more pictures.

Thanks everyone...Mama_Goose thanks for posting those photos. I love that kitchen as well! Shades I like your idea also. I hope you don't mind but I went rambling through your photos,. I love your home. It sooo personal and the mosiacs are great. I can't wait till my house feels like my home. I have to stop being so lazy and get to it. LOL. I didn.t work on the house last night. I went to Lowes and got the anchors for my pot rack, and fell asleep answering an email. I am dog tired. I have school tonight so I won't get the to the house again till tomorrow. :-(

Thanks MsJ, I do not think you have been lazy at all!!!! I think these projects which seem so simple in our heads tend to explode with the doing part of it in a hurry. I redid a kitchen the size of yours once. I tore out tile and old cabinets. Repaired walls. Ceiling was fine. Floor was ugly but I did not change it. I paid to have the cabinets and counter built and installed. I finished the cabinets and installed sink and faucet. No change to range or exhaust for it. All of this took me a month of almost constant working on it. I only worked 4 hours a day at my job. I was also much younger and stronger than I am now. This was over 30 years ago.Oh and I only had an L shape cabinet situation. AND there were no changes to what was there to begin with but newly built cabinets because the old ones were so awful and falling apart.

So as I see it................ Considering all you have had to do over and above what I had to do you have done very well. Your space is turning out darling. The rest of your house will fall into place. Remember we have been here four years now. I keep changing things around because that is my nature to do so. I like change. We used to just move from house to house. Now I just wear out the furniture and floors moving things around. LOL Many of our things are on wheels.

I don't think I have seen farmhousebound's pantry before. That is so cute!

That looks GREAT love the colors :)

that's it mamag!

here's the stove and sink area.

How adorable! I love it!

farmhousebound posted the sink and stove walls of her kitchen over on kitchens - or maybe it was a resurrected thread. Just saw it yesterday.
