West + Main agents Steph Christianson and Sam Messmer teamed up and got an organizational wave of inspiration after scouring HGTV, Magnolia, Pinterest, and all-things-interior-design.
When it came time to actually begin on the pantry project, homeowner Steph credits renovation genius Sam for being detail-oriented and able to pick out specific design points to make a space even more eye- catching.
“Sam (gently) forced me to use all the scary tools that I never thought I’d have the courage to use,” Steph said. “She is a real pro and insists on safety every step of the way. We also spent a crazy amount of time (and girl muscles) to get the baseboards off during the demo. I remember Sam saying this is going to be the 'easiest' part of this project. Nope. That was not the case at all. Someone definitely attached those puppies with some crazy adhesive many years ago!”

And the hard work did indeed pay off. Not only is the pantry practical, but a beautiful part of the home.
"Sometimes I open the pantry door just to gaze at how beautifully it turned out,” Steph said. “I knew I’d be giving up some storage space but the trade-off was totally worth it for me. It’s a work of art in my opinion, and I am in awe that two badass ladies did this!”
