Creating an organized tool storage in the utility room

We spent the last two days building shelves and hanging pegboard which along with the workbench, will help to create a place for everything. There have been a number of frustrating moments when you need a tool and cannot find it. Hopefully these moments are behind us. Of course, it will help if I put things back where they belong after each use :0)

These five 3'x3' shelves add a lot of storage. This space was originally designated for the electric hot water heater. The substitution for a tankless gas hot water heater created all of this space.

Building a cabinet for the pantry

We spent one day building and another day painting a cabinet that Julie designed, which will reside in the pantry. The microwave, mixer, blender, toaster oven, waffle iron, juicer, and four wicker baskets will be will be stored here.  The top can be used as a work area. Above this cabinet we are building  three 8' long shelves  to hold canned goods and dry goods. To the left of this cabinet will be the freezer.
Below is the cabinet before being painted.

Cabinet placed in the pantry with two electrical outlets above the work surface. 

Now painted with shelves added above for dry good storage

Freezer in the back corner
