Walk-in pantry door
Comments (32)If you are planning for disablity/old age, put a wide door on your pantry--wide enough to accomodate a walker. My mom had a stroke and could really only access things that were at a height between her hip and her shoulder, which is why I made sure to put a walk-in pantry in our new house so that I would have lots of shelves at that height. I would think that you should be able to have a custom door made to match your cabinets and then you would end up with a larger door and a door that is more sturdy than a regular cabinet door....See MorePlease Show Me Your Walk-In Pantry Door
Comments (13)kulagal, We are doing a combination of fir and painted cabinets in the kitchen. As you can see, our panels aren't yet on the dishwashers, and the fir that will be our island top is piled on the island in the photo...Well, it's obvious there's still a lot to do, but here is what it looks like right now. I'm including a (bad) photo of one of the bathrooms, for a more straight-on shot of fir cabs, and a closeup with some of our hardware choices....See MoreWalk-in Pantry or Wall Pantry?
Comments (4)I had this dilemma also, but we had less room to work with than you. I was talked out of the walk-in but DH and GC because they thought it would close the space in too tight. They were right. Instead I opted for a very large "pantry cabinet" that looks like a piece of furniture. It has 24" deep upper cabinets and deep drawers on the bottom. It was built by the Amish cabinet makers who made all my kitchen cabinets. It has a counter for pulling out the small appliances I store in there, too. It was the right choice. I love it! I used to have a walk in pantry that became a powder room. But I always piled stuff up and it became very disorganized....See MoreShow me your walk-in pantry door!! (also considering no door at all)
Comments (21)I have an inward opening door, and I leave the pantry open all the time except when I have company. The door is against a wall (which had to be there... the other side is the stairs leading down to the basement). Having door open nearlyall the time (necessary because there's also a freezer in there) meant that the door wouldn't impose on the kitchen proper, since I have it opening inward....See Moretalley_sue_nyc
