If you could only have one cabinet in your small, WI pantry...
Comments (2)Your question got me to thinking about what we store in our pantry (which is a bit bigger) vs what we store in cabinets in the kitchen. IMHO the great advantage of a pantry is open shelving where everything is in sight. A cabinet would negate that. Mostly we use our pantry for items that either don't fit easily on cabinet shelves (e.g., huge bowl for mixing bread dough; large box of full-sheet-pan sized parchment paper), are heavy to lift (e.g., waffle iron), or are items (like cereal) that are easier to just grab from an open shelf. The added bonus of open shelving is seeing how many boxes of something we have and not over buying at Costco! I also have a couple of smaller plastic boxes for cookie cutters, another box for bagged spices that we buy in bulk from Penzeys, and the two wooden boxes w/ holes that DH made to store potatoes and onions. Many of these are stacked, but still easier to get to in the pantry than in cabinets. A round about way of agreeing with Palimpsest: go for open storage so that you can see what you have and easily get to it. I agree that a counter might be more useful than a cabinet, especially since you said you already have all the cabinets you need....See MoreSmall simple farmhouses-bathroom off kitchens-anyone have?
Comments (20)My older sister lives in an 1850s farmhouse which has a bath off the large kitchen. The door faces the basement entrance in a very small hallway which leads to a bedroom. It is full sized, but only about 8x10. Spent Thanksgiving and Christmas with them, and it really wasn't a problem. The other half of the kitchen serves as a dining room. If you want weird--my own house was built in 1907, with a pantry and small back porch--neither of which was converted to a bathroom. However, there is a full bath upstairs with original fixtures, and a half bath (well, a sink with a wooden counter, and a toilet enclosed with beadboard planks under the stairs), but the strangest of all--the only closet on the first floor--an alcove in the hall next to the kitchen, and facing the basement stairs and side door--had a toilet installed for the convenience of a previous elderly owner! No door either, just a curtain rod which had a shower curtain on it when I bought the place. My very first task: to remove the carpet from the hall floor, then remove that toilet and make it a closet again! Despite this being done 21 years ago, I still have the 6" drain hole in the floor, because my cats love to stick their heads through it to watch me do laundry in the basement! :)...See MoreAre you using or have you used a Chop-Saw to Cut Small Firewood?
Comments (3)Good Timing! I have Good Oak Wood from Tree Trimmers Work to work filling my 2 Cords + Racks. Since my 2002 Retirement, I burn more wood. Due, to holding coals Over Night vs starting a New Fire. This is still the Best Exercise during the Winter. I Jogged after Work 30+ Years before Retiring to Walking, Woodworking, Metalworking, Small Engines, and Etc Enjoying My Time. My Plan was to include Fishing but the Traffic retired Me… Have Fun With Your Projects And Take Care!...See MoreHave you seen any tiles (kitchen)that have this look?
