My mother-in-law, Nanny, had commented how much she liked the cabinet unit I made for my wife’s cookie sheets. For my mother-in-law’s birthday, we decided something should be done about the cupboard in her pantry. There were a couple of”shelves” in there already, and by “shelves” I mean a couple boards that technically were holding a few things up.
So my wife and I pulled everything out of the cupboard, discussed possible solutions and took some measurements. Then I got to work.
I made this in three separate units (left side, center and right side) to make it a little easier to build and install. Other than building square components to go in an area that isn’t square, everything went along quite smoothly. And best of all, my mother-in-law is very happy!
All three units are built with pine harvested locally by my brother-in-law. I sanded with 100 grit and then applied a BLO (Boiled Linseed Oil) finish.

Nice work Darryl – easy to see who the “favorite son-in-law” is :-)). It’s refreshing to read about all of the LumberJocks who are looking after the “older” generation – especially since I am now officially joining that generation.

Thanks for the compliments.
Mother-in-laws tend to get a bad rap, I have to say I got pretty lucky with mine!
My mother-in-law has been feeding me pretty well for the past 18 years, and is a good part of the reason I could stand to drop a few pounds!
...though some cupcakes and cookies are sounding pretty good right now!

The only problem… I have fond memories of staying at my grandmother’s and being awakened by the sound of pots and pans rattling as she started cooking for the day. All this organization will surely cut down on that sweet music. :-)

a great idea. I’m going to copy it for one of my cupboards. Nice use of the space.
