I was rather conflicted about spending the money on shelves when the old shelves still worked... but I have to admit that the new ones are very satisfying and efficient.<br /><br />Pam, yes, I have a very persuasive builder with a 'can do' attitude who is whipping my kitchen into shape, and this does help with the decision making process:)<br /><br />Hazel, will suggest a nice 'holiday' in Canberra for him:)<br /><br />Linda, I am rather fortunate to have found someone who is a real craftsman.<br /><br />Chris, all the preserving takes up a lot of space, doesn't it? I really need a cellar, and may eventually have to build a new shed, like you! It is the requirement to keep the preserves cool that is the trick. Hence the need for a cellar. Yes, a modicum of neatness is creeping in, but maybe i should take a photo of the state of the kitchen bench on the other side of the room, just for for balance!Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17803297366197086152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4838234360213313454.post-47706865717717166972018-08-20T22:07:57.336+10:002018-08-20T22:07:57.336+10:00Hi Jo,

You know it is surprising just how much storage you need if you get into preserving in earnest - not to mention kitchen bench space. Our lot has overflowed into one of the sheds... I sometimes use that to scare visitors, in a good way of course. Hey, are those apples in Fowlers bottles high up in the alcove? Good stuff. And your passata bottles look really good too.<br /><br />In all seriousness, did a modicum of neatness and order sneak into your kitchen? I'm genuinely impressed.<br /><br />ChrisFernglade Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06950962122594709186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4838234360213313454.post-13764259239733623182018-08-18T10:05:54.821+10:002018-08-18T10:05:54.821+10:00Hello Jo.

The little pantry is a stroke of genius. I guess one of those old-house-problems has often been a lack of storage, but you have found a lovely solution for the kitchen.<br /><br />Linda in NZAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4838234360213313454.post-77563368241345535012018-08-18T09:06:39.736+10:002018-08-18T09:06:39.736+10:00Hi Jo

If the table is anywhere near as good, your kitchen will be a palace of food production (and consumption!) I don't suppose your craftsman wants to move to Canberra? No, I didn't think so. ;-) Anyway, you deserve to have a wonderful home, with all the effort you put in. May you enjoy it for many years to come.<br /><br />HazelAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01571424576817320977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4838234360213313454.post-49018133631366895362018-08-17T22:17:08.749+10:002018-08-17T22:17:08.749+10:00Hi, Jo!

What an interesting hole that was in the wall?! I wonder what was previously stored in there? Bed linen? Either way, it's now definitely a pantry.

I find that encouraging as it means the hot water heater must be well-insulated! Who knows what it was once used for.. <br />Re the shelves - I cannot believe how easy it is to find things. I love the efficiency, and I love the way they look like they have always been there!<br /><br />Patricia, I am looking forward to some more progress so I can provide you with pics!Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17803297366197086152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4838234360213313454.post-4353364410929376302018-08-16T19:51:52.386+10:002018-08-16T19:51:52.386+10:00Love the shelves!

I must say I'm a little envious of all that open shelving, I love being able to see all my dishes etc, it makes them have two purposes their original purpose but also decoration.<br /> That pantry, what an unusual space, do you have any idea of its original purpose?<br />Cheers Kate simplelifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13397507005757292686noreply@blogger.com
