A rolling pantry built from painted MDF panels, Pine trim, swivel castors and lined with wallpaper.  

 

 

The project

 

I had this empty space between fridge and kitchen cabinets so I wanted to fill it with a roller pantry to make it look better and create extra storage room. 

 

Steps

 

Step 1

 

Cut the MDF board to the length you want or ask Bunnings to cut it. Prime the MDF boards and paint them. I didn't paint the splashback because I used wallpaper, but it was recommended to prime it before adding the wallpaper so that's what I did.

Step 2

 

Build the outer edge of the shelf. Make sure the corners are at a 90 degree angle. I did add wallpaper to the back of the pantry to bring up some colour to this otherwise white pantry.

 

Attach the outer edge to the splashback. I used liquid nails first to make sure it stays in the right place, and then used flat head nails to nail it to the splashback.

Step 3

 

I then added the right angle brackets under the shelves and added the shelves to the splashback. I also added Pine trims to the top of the shelves so it would look better, and secure the items so they don't fall down. I added a piece of timber to the bottom to balance the weight.

Step 4

 

Then I caulked the edges and gave a last touch with the paint. I never caulked before and it really makes the joints look better. Then it was time to add wheels and lift it up. One final thing was to add a handle and I was ready to carry the rolling pantry to my kitchen.
