Since I don't have a pantry, I can't show you any pictures. But I have some thoughts. 24" deep is sort of awkward to store small things in--actually, even most big things. It's so deep. If you could sent alittle bit, and can run a drill, you might consider getting several pull-out shelves (full-extension, pls! don't torture yourself), and spacing them pretty closely, for stuff like canned goods (my personal dream is to lay them on their sides).ShelvesThatSlide.com has a good reputation on the Kitchens forum, and they have a really great set of instructions for measuring, installing, etc. I also would put a slide-out shelf on the very bottom of the pantry bcs the back part of that shelf would be nearly inaccessible. (speaking of asking a different group of people--have you asked over at Kitchens?

Girl I have several places to fix. Here is where the sink base was. If the new cabinets were the same depth there would be no problem but they aren't so there will be a strip about 2-3" where there is no flooring built up. But I did say I was going to put some lauan on it and I got some self leveling compound to fill in right? In this photo don't even ask why I left that little hole in the drywall. It seemed silly to cut this small a piece and the piece above it was a patch. Its going behind the cabinets but before I put them in but I will fix it. I might not mud it, sand it and paint it though.... This photo shows where I took all the framing off a doorway never to be replaced and the black is the asbestos tile on top of the pine floors, then on top of that is some lauan thae last owner put down, then a layer of sheet vinyl she put down and as you see I ripped off and then the top layer that I put down and getting ready to cover. LOL This photo is where I told you light from the basement could be seen so I filled the hole up with expanding foam. That was when I found the snakeskin in the wall and I was afraid of a critter getting in the house. I plan to cut the foam down and sand it even with the floor. I don't see any reason why this won't work... This photo shows another doorway where the framing was removed. It needs to be corrected as well. It also appears I have to remove the door sills/jambs or whatever they are called and install new ones because the ones there now are too short. :-( I just noticed that super long rusty nail in the photo. So glad I had my tetnus shot before I got all involved in tearing this kitchen apart. ewwwl so dangerous I got construction dust everywhere and I know it looks terrible. It feels worse than it loooks. NEVER AGAIN WILL I GET MYSELF IN THIS PREDICAMENT. I said it before but I mean it this time!! Here is a link that might be useful: here is the progress of my project...I changed my blog address

For the cabinets and island I regarded the brass cabinet pull, and decided a burgundy with a smidge of lightened hue and a really biege sand color for the paint. Funny thing is , The most similar idea was already on Houzz. Tea with Lemon hue isnt as orangy as I was considering. And I included real orangey hues: it would certainly assure a warm feeling. personally I'm a Neon orange fan so the orange on the left boosted Is what I would choose with those cabinets.

Your soil looks like one of my batches did. I was told the particles should have been closer to the same size than I had. The plant I had in it was ok. I found some smaller rock at the dollar store of all places that comes in two sizes. One barely smaller than your rock, and one about half the size. It was not a problem for that plant, however I do believe the soils with more consistent sizes was better for how it behaved for me when watered. It's so challenging to get all those supplies, and I know how much time and effort it takes. It's great you are learning about Als recipes. I think most of us have had to settle for less than perfect supplies as it's difficult to find all the ingredients. Good job. Hope it goes great.
