Pantry Details: No Sew Curtain, Tiered shelf, & Step Stool

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div>I'm back with some DIY details from the pantry project!<br><br>But first, I wanted to share a little snippet of our last weekend. We took a road trip with some friends to Savannah for the 3-day weekend (our second time there, we went for our <a href="http://jennasuedesign.blogspot.com/2011/05/weekend-in-savannah.html" target="_blank">anniversary</a> two years ago) and had so much fun. The best fried seafood and drinks (chocolate daiquiris from Wet Willy's... omg.) and entertainment and stores and architecture and history. Love this city. Next time we'll keep driving for a couple more hours and stop in Charleston—heard it was a must-see!<br><br>I booked a "haunted pub crawl" called Boos & Brews for Saturday night. We stopped at the local (haunted) bars and were guided around the streets and cemeteries with real ghost stories—<i>for the record, I don't believe any of it but it's fun when you're drinking ;)</i><br><i><br></i>Here we are getting ready to leave the first pub!<br><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTMoRkvkpAU3URHBmOZXEP5QvZWUl_4bB_ggRSJxllFNiW0jmRBAlSSz0BKfV2oUbNR0EKz06Z-mRnxN0oVbf1JwiCILgtiP5yXrrAsENIJQ6qk2rVdObXk79TwBSulz26n4P0VhBlrq2E/s1600/IMG_1985.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTMoRkvkpAU3URHBmOZXEP5QvZWUl_4bB_ggRSJxllFNiW0jmRBAlSSz0BKfV2oUbNR0EKz06Z-mRnxN0oVbf1JwiCILgtiP5yXrrAsENIJQ6qk2rVdObXk79TwBSulz26n4P0VhBlrq2E/s1600/IMG_1985.jpg"></a></div><br><br><br>Here's one of the old haunted houses:<br><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEho2QnbqFBq4TRl52DxziRB2seYiSpMMQSePrhqpkXA4P6pvgtZ4DLLJNo16DVGAFSMxAYUZmmN8TD8oJj9jbb8ZATyDsU5t91ffp4IK__e8lnXrHKyeTJDm6I_kpKZShQu93XlFv_Gy9l3/s1600/IMG_1993.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEho2QnbqFBq4TRl52DxziRB2seYiSpMMQSePrhqpkXA4P6pvgtZ4DLLJNo16DVGAFSMxAYUZmmN8TD8oJj9jbb8ZATyDsU5t91ffp4IK__e8lnXrHKyeTJDm6I_kpKZShQu93XlFv_Gy9l3/s1600/IMG_1993.jpg"></a></div><br>For our last stop, we went to the Moon River Brewery (which has been on Ghost Hunter shows) and they took us up into the attic where the ghost/orb sightings are common...<br><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaAnb4gvTROkGT7UfA5TiTtmROYLijNrD1u0rJdi7WKpFDlgPI0zsUETdT4ztlhIJ3xYitg5F5a3tvcxMzBnYOIsbP-ilfKQPa41vfceIjs2zXuNP__ia-Ef66Ln0dI1fQ5hfS2iUw7iJc/s1600/IMG_1997.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaAnb4gvTROkGT7UfA5TiTtmROYLijNrD1u0rJdi7WKpFDlgPI0zsUETdT4ztlhIJ3xYitg5F5a3tvcxMzBnYOIsbP-ilfKQPa41vfceIjs2zXuNP__ia-Ef66Ln0dI1fQ5hfS2iUw7iJc/s1600/IMG_1997.jpg"></a></div><br><br>I didn't capture anything on my camera, but for whatever reason the spirits were posing for Brad's.

Speaking of anchors... this became an issue from the very beginning. We only had a random assortment on hand, in various sizes, and they were the cheap kind with no lip so they would just fall back into the wall when we tried to screw into them. Jerks.<br /><br />So I hopped in the car and took a trip down to Lowe's to pick up a package that was recommended to me by someone in the store:<br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3eWMgl8v9QBNiLMnbxzpUOUjwtbCM3Gc8gzCceHmI1ahyphenhyphenIA78xPe_cYJAK94VEmP9wVvRLGA4JU1lvb0NkBZ4vubx1nKGiOYrZE2p0W2NotWVTCiKY1EONsJcgAyXPXlRsp8b2HrrWSJU/s1600/IMG_9696.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3eWMgl8v9QBNiLMnbxzpUOUjwtbCM3Gc8gzCceHmI1ahyphenhyphenIA78xPe_cYJAK94VEmP9wVvRLGA4JU1lvb0NkBZ4vubx1nKGiOYrZE2p0W2NotWVTCiKY1EONsJcgAyXPXlRsp8b2HrrWSJU/s1600/IMG_9696.jpg" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><i>Ignore the manicure, please.</i></td></tr></tbody></table><br />They are self drilling, which means you can just screw them into the wall (after a pilot hole to get things started) instead of trying to find the right drill bit to bore out the perfect sized hole to fit your anchor.

Woo!<br /><br />Next, it was time for the shelves.<br /><br />Because our home wasn't held to the highest standard of craftsmanship when it was built 20 years ago, we've learned pretty quickly that our walls are not straight.<br /><br />This pantry was no different. On the back wall, it was exactly 24" across. Towards the front of the pantry, it was more like 24.5something". They aren't 90' angles either. I don't own a table saw so I couldn't calculate and cut these to fit exactly like a glove, so I had to work with what I'd got.<br /><br />Here's a test fit after the first supports went up, can you see the gaps?<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUf9Mp5nWE1j-fJxF3-5HoX7kE367jyz8TCzB_fcCUPuxtzBFg-7g-q6F0W8MR-f8kX0uil8ixDZBanwtgPttVvET-s2EqNaFr4PR2Xpqhh8UdsRrTF_PIg2wxTauafSAGb6jSc5y7lm-6/s1600/IMG_9694.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUf9Mp5nWE1j-fJxF3-5HoX7kE367jyz8TCzB_fcCUPuxtzBFg-7g-q6F0W8MR-f8kX0uil8ixDZBanwtgPttVvET-s2EqNaFr4PR2Xpqhh8UdsRrTF_PIg2wxTauafSAGb6jSc5y7lm-6/s1600/IMG_9694.jpg" /></a></div><br />I thought about caulking the gaps to hide them, but figured I'd wait until I had finished the shelves to see what it looked like once it came together.<br /><br />I decided to try something new and line the top of the shelves with fabric. I'd seen this somewhere on Pinterest and thought it looked awesome, and also felt confident about using fabric with wood after making my <a href="http://jennasuedesign.blogspot.com/2012/12/easy-diy-christmas-mantle.html" target="_blank">peace sign</a>.<br /><br />At Hobby Lobby, I spotted this fabric weeks earlier and fell in love. 1.75 yards is what I needed for this project (only $5 after my 40% off coupon):<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_gk7CweEosFiSQopflX02kHG1MhQQTbsrSDq-tW3RyHloTe8gCb34HEKXavTFrFyL-dmZAxd3gTc8pzC_ydgYlwDZ4hI-dyt0uzA5Ty54Va1POiepGejhO-rrVrKtDmhiziOdCoiAgVqc/s1600/IMG_9698.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_gk7CweEosFiSQopflX02kHG1MhQQTbsrSDq-tW3RyHloTe8gCb34HEKXavTFrFyL-dmZAxd3gTc8pzC_ydgYlwDZ4hI-dyt0uzA5Ty54Va1POiepGejhO-rrVrKtDmhiziOdCoiAgVqc/s1600/IMG_9698.jpg" /></a></div><br />Pretty, right?<br /><br />To do this, all you need is modge podge and an Xacto knife. After loading a fresh blade and ironing my fabric to smooth out any wrinkles, I laid everything out to begin:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhy_4WuxJpOBlJx2fWVBfq0JfIf4epbKpQoh6tyugPclsQ4rm2DQPYCLlz19bIhPcKkOG05vIxX9ojhCmnzbzO2RrLqrwANacZB5VRLbozeSGFKpr0wNPDGa2of-RFmjPJG1O7u8T_iQJ4w/s1600/IMG_9700.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhy_4WuxJpOBlJx2fWVBfq0JfIf4epbKpQoh6tyugPclsQ4rm2DQPYCLlz19bIhPcKkOG05vIxX9ojhCmnzbzO2RrLqrwANacZB5VRLbozeSGFKpr0wNPDGa2of-RFmjPJG1O7u8T_iQJ4w/s1600/IMG_9700.jpg" /></a></div><br /><br />I applied a generous amount of modge podge to the wood surface (hard to see, but it's there):<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiQ-UZuJWluX-nvJ_jVpoCX2hLFYMGgG-mWLqHcKJkp5A_SufuP8TDLaEIuckz8WE-VXDuvpHLgmlZDt1wpY4tYlWupAUYx75__RAUZxQhUiEg7-uoVNJeHIJGW4Enxi3HPwx_grVnNiR3/s1600/IMG_9703.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiQ-UZuJWluX-nvJ_jVpoCX2hLFYMGgG-mWLqHcKJkp5A_SufuP8TDLaEIuckz8WE-VXDuvpHLgmlZDt1wpY4tYlWupAUYx75__RAUZxQhUiEg7-uoVNJeHIJGW4Enxi3HPwx_grVnNiR3/s1600/IMG_9703.jpg" /></a></div><br /><br />I then lined the wood up with my pattern and flipped it over onto the back side of the fabric.<br /><br />While standing on the board to apply pressure, I ever so carefully ran my Xacto knife along the edge of the board (I had laid a few large pieces of cardboard underneath so the knife would have something to cut through)<br /><br />Worked like a charm.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5d97YwVqatO9liOkIVTnmmc7VTk8jKfcx3OtOQAM_Va0AHwC_yTpoltrtpjVTqGNfMldZiUa0ugUGaipItEIN4DlEytY-TopXHIgdRz5ElRWdbNUfjwH4YMvPOtSr3UvarBkkRZUg0ooM/s1600/IMG_9710.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5d97YwVqatO9liOkIVTnmmc7VTk8jKfcx3OtOQAM_Va0AHwC_yTpoltrtpjVTqGNfMldZiUa0ugUGaipItEIN4DlEytY-TopXHIgdRz5ElRWdbNUfjwH4YMvPOtSr3UvarBkkRZUg0ooM/s1600/IMG_9710.jpg" /></a></div><br /><br />Here's the finished piece:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-zU5LoWiijYuqZVn_cuqZbHvNbhd4qDgw4R8OvpmMmXjazQbPqomZds5oSCqm8GKRMiJ2V7B0baOnsCGCYRU3VHqO6aN9lQ-CuaAPpI_uOCLdnXTODWZp5lKdC83RR48IXGqNy2QJAAV1/s1600/IMG_9705.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-zU5LoWiijYuqZVn_cuqZbHvNbhd4qDgw4R8OvpmMmXjazQbPqomZds5oSCqm8GKRMiJ2V7B0baOnsCGCYRU3VHqO6aN9lQ-CuaAPpI_uOCLdnXTODWZp5lKdC83RR48IXGqNy2QJAAV1/s1600/IMG_9705.jpg" /></a></div><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJC7QYG7VLb2KYKQlRWCVcykhHAbBgbzZ3ALAu3uiGppeh8RNf1CBnkUfW7ITlw3fy38tt2gJsP3BsEUhhn1-YIdHsUCIOEmiti3hD_iBaZbRCGJKpC5mCFkzS1lprxcnJjgDEPhRzqKYp/s1600/IMG_9706.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJC7QYG7VLb2KYKQlRWCVcykhHAbBgbzZ3ALAu3uiGppeh8RNf1CBnkUfW7ITlw3fy38tt2gJsP3BsEUhhn1-YIdHsUCIOEmiti3hD_iBaZbRCGJKpC5mCFkzS1lprxcnJjgDEPhRzqKYp/s1600/IMG_9706.jpg" /></a></div><br />In no time at all, my shelves were done and ready to be secured.<br /><br />But first, we went ahead and installed our medicine cabinet before the shelves were in the way.<br /><br />There was no hardware that came with it so we had to use our own screws. We opted for two at the bottom, two towards the top, and two into the ceiling. Just to be safe. Brad did most of this part because it was a heavy mofo.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipPkO21I6rJU5SbKrhlHV1vFvFIX371CB_sxl-vfeQzI3xZd-3D6jSuHrgALJxbix7tm8VT92JIvbsU0FJIkjOTfV0eXQ_i7WCGLBV8ewp9GmwDv3-4K89njqZ74ev4BoTGJHItCl5vh0_/s1600/IMG_9709.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipPkO21I6rJU5SbKrhlHV1vFvFIX371CB_sxl-vfeQzI3xZd-3D6jSuHrgALJxbix7tm8VT92JIvbsU0FJIkjOTfV0eXQ_i7WCGLBV8ewp9GmwDv3-4K89njqZ74ev4BoTGJHItCl5vh0_/s1600/IMG_9709.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br />With that out of the way, it was back to the final piece: shelf installation. We debated using wood screws to secure them to the supports but were worried about the wood splitting. With the weight of the items on the shelf, we figured a nail gun would be all that was necessary.<br /><br />At first I peeled back the fabric to hide the nail...<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1KwlXNWvTm-RwY9S_KXhjdxhwsW-2PZmC0m6zDSdyv8OxBDDBHpKaqtuJ84hvRiqdRXzDWrJLWbbs-appIGZ1CfXEERkYstsMFauzQsicGq0fDyLkbvCoF49uFcd2FMT8tWl78vQ1r4wF/s1600/IMG_9711.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1KwlXNWvTm-RwY9S_KXhjdxhwsW-2PZmC0m6zDSdyv8OxBDDBHpKaqtuJ84hvRiqdRXzDWrJLWbbs-appIGZ1CfXEERkYstsMFauzQsicGq0fDyLkbvCoF49uFcd2FMT8tWl78vQ1r4wF/s1600/IMG_9711.jpg" /></a></div><br /><br />Then I realized that the hole is so small that you'd never see it even through the fabric.<br /><br />Can you spot the nail in this photo?<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXTCpWX0x1cKcch-t77Ld_jRVRRu046WDRa-WSWfJiuf4HxPN7e9obwU1td0M3Wjsr5vBntjThX5OEEckwxZAVwf4W3FEBD7vkEC2NJlNQ1cWudv1mZiQ077CtLl-uJ65cUtTv9sKZeQeB/s1600/IMG_9732.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXTCpWX0x1cKcch-t77Ld_jRVRRu046WDRa-WSWfJiuf4HxPN7e9obwU1td0M3Wjsr5vBntjThX5OEEckwxZAVwf4W3FEBD7vkEC2NJlNQ1cWudv1mZiQ077CtLl-uJ65cUtTv9sKZeQeB/s1600/IMG_9732.jpg" /></a></div><br />It's right in the center, and virtually invisible.

It's just not one of those things you notice... and if you do, it really doesn't look bad at all.<br /><br />To protect the fabric from stains and make it durable and wipeable, I gave them a coat of modge podge.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiOTK_hLoEx8QRSVsL6QlYD3oeZd2_q3mZgFT7mTZa5HKrDJ8L99gZxKmRbuhIwiMTuJBBBsQSfC60pIZ2j_sEeaZxACICHOGksACUAcjcyfedpm5x1jy4yq38Z99_7maujAmdX5rnOGf7/s1600/IMG_9716.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiOTK_hLoEx8QRSVsL6QlYD3oeZd2_q3mZgFT7mTZa5HKrDJ8L99gZxKmRbuhIwiMTuJBBBsQSfC60pIZ2j_sEeaZxACICHOGksACUAcjcyfedpm5x1jy4yq38Z99_7maujAmdX5rnOGf7/s1600/IMG_9716.jpg" /></a></div><br /><br />I was slightly skeptical about how it would look and feel after it was dry as I had never used modge podge as a sealant, but when I woke up this morning, everything was dry and looked great. The surface is hard as a rock now. Nothing's gettin through this fabric... it feels like it's part of the wood.
