Pantry

It has been a long time since we have updated our blog.  Since that time we have finished our floor and we are really happy with it.  More on that another day.  The thing that has changed our house the most in the past few weeks is the addition of a real pantry.

Remember that when we bought the house we did so with the intention of opening up the kitchen into the dining room.  We felt it was better to have a large kitchen with a good sized eating area than to have a small kitchen with a tiny table and have a separate dark, carpeted dining room.

This is the original pantry.  It wasn't very big and since we tore out a wall we needed a place for our refrigerator. So we needed a new pantry(and a bigger one if possible).


This is what we came up with






We went from this...

To this

We sure like it. What do you think?

    1. You bet - we got it at ikea on a 15% off sale. - We kind of have been designing and planning it for a while. Our only regret is that we needed about a half an inch to be able to fit another cabinet in. So we didn't get the wall to wall look we were hoping for but we still like it. I might build shelves in those side cavities.
