Standing it on the narrow side will raise spice jars and small bottles about 3.5 inches. Laid flat the rise is only one and three-quarters but allows you to see what is back there. If you stockpile canned goods, laying a narrow strip of plexiglass or wood on top of a couple of cans will also give you a second step up. I'm barely five feet tall and need a step stool for every thing above the first shelf:-)Patty@inStitcheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18008067462064666901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-67243930507570479322015-01-20T02:23:33.131+10:002015-01-20T02:23:33.131+10:00I love the idea of A Year of Gentle Domesticity!I love the idea of A Year of Gentle Domesticity!Jimmiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16620266780624532300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-61291669060007885952015-01-20T00:45:58.304+10:002015-01-20T00:45:58.304+10:00Well done - it looks great.Well done - it looks great.Gillianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13234219836891799676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-41608386991294763072015-01-20T00:22:09.591+10:002015-01-20T00:22:09.591+10:00Great work, Michelle.

I finished my pantry last night except for some labels which I will get too soon. I have put the photos on my (new!) blog, I hope this link works. I haven't quite worked out how to link to one particular post, but it is my latest post so it should be at the top (I think), apologies if it doesn't work. Thanks so much for the inspiration for this challenge and the inspiration to start my blog. http://our--family--life.blogspot.com.au/<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11698876137283681143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-29349125528562074172015-01-19T15:42:46.276+10:002015-01-19T15:42:46.276+10:00LOL!

However, I did manage to finish the pantry and will post photos as soon as I get a chance to resize. Could you put a quick post on the forum if you find any step shelves - I will do the same if I find some - I think a lot of people will be after something similar after finishing this challenge.

It was just too hot over the weekend to finish it off. I bought one of those step shelves when Crazy Clarks were closing down and afterwards wished I had bought another one but haven't been able to find them since. Good to know KMart have them so thanks Kathy from me too. They work well in a small pantry.
