My New Pantry

  Re: (...)
Our house was built in the 50s and has some strange designs in it. There is a 'corridor' just inside the front door going from the living room to the hallway - right out of the corridor is to the bedrooms and left is to the kitchn.

But there is also the dining room behind the pantry that opens to the kitchen also (think an island....). Anyway, wehen we moved in on one side of the corridor was an open closet with sliding doors and the other side had shelves with no sliding doors. We put in metal shelves in the one side and just started cramming things in.

Right side

I drew up what I wanted and Roy did such a great job of redoing the whole area, got rid of all the dark 50s woodwork. Light green with white shelves.

MOre than you ever wanted to know.... but, here it is now.

Way cool Jean!!

We ordered a pantry cabinet when we ordered all the other custom cabinets when we did a kitchen 24 years ago. But it became my utility cabinet for the vacuums and cleaning stuff since this 92-yo house does not have any closets on the first floor and there really isn't any place to put one without considerable construction.

I didn't realize you lived in such a neat old house, Barbara - wish you'd post some pictures.
