Washing and cleaning the little walk-in pantry is just about finished. Another week has started and I will go over today to do another round of washing the shelves plus wash the walls. It sure smell Mr. Clean good when you walk into the house.
First I cleared the pantry out. Wiped the shelves off with CLOROX Coconut scented wipes. Waited a couple of days, then scrubbed the wood shelves and floor with Mr. Clean.
Wiped it and will wash again today. Swept the floor and scrubbed it. Getting on my hands and knees hurt this ole body. I did my best to be quick about it. Have to wash the undersides of the shelves, brackets and trim.
Giving it some thought as to what color to go and think I will go ahead and stay light white? The shelves will more than likely be painted Benjamin Moore semi-gloss COTTON BALL which is a soft white. Perhaps this week if I can muster up the energy she'll get PAINTED. I have to take it slow and do the work a little here and a little there.
A couple of fresh coats of paint will do MIRACLES! As June is fast approaching, I pray the painting begins this week. Since it's a small space it shouldn't take too terribly long to paint.

As I look at my tiny walk-in pantry it is larger than what I have in our main house right now. SO I look at it and think where things will go and how it will be organized. I stare at the messes and disarray in the COTTAGE and sigh. Keep moving and stay in motion. It will come together surely it will. S u r e l y.
Getting ideas of what others have done to their pantries. Debating between a very light gray to soft white. I will need to make a decision. What should I do? I thought of installing light colored strips of wood on the ceiling, getting a different light fixture and have a light switch installed, soft gray shelves and walls...never know I still might do that. The floor will have soft gray tile laid when the time comes. Tile is purchased and waiting.
The Heirloom Irises that my sweet hard working husband planted last August and September did come up and bloomed. Yesterday when I looked out the utility window, I could see the rows with purple blooms. This did my heart good. BEAUTIFUL! They are gorgeous and smell wonderful.
Much work to do around our lil COTTAGE. A little at a time to get a Fairy Tale LOOK to her. In my head, she's already done, but in reality she is what she is.
As I looked at the back yard, I imagine a fence around the perimeter of the yard. Not right now, but hopefully after we get moved into our GRAND COTTAGE a fence will go up. If I can relax about all there is to do, but stay in motion putting my faith in God that He will help this come to be, it will come together.

Oh, what a foretaste of glory divine
Heir of salvation, purchase of God
Born of His spirit, washed in His blood
I in my Savior, am happy and blessed
Watching and waiting, looking above
Filled with His goodness, lost in His love, oh oh
Praising my Savior all the day long
This is my story, this is my song
Praising my Savior all the day long
