Pantry photos/ pics of pantries
Comments (69)Our new walk-in pantry. Just over 6' x 8' in size, with 9' ceilings. Shelves are a mix of 24" deep, 12" deep and 9" deep. We have two slide out drawers under the bottom left shelf in which we put kid snacks for their easy reach. We store ALL food and small appliances in here - the only foodstuff we keep in the main kitchen are spices near the stove. Our contractor cut and painted the wood himself, and then hung all the brackets. Shelving has been braced together in the corners to keep them from separating. We love it! It's a vast improvement over the small over-stuffed closet we had before our kitchen remodel!...See MoreThose of you with walk in pantries...
Comments (21)Julie Diane, See the links above; those sites contain more links to other threads from Garden Web (the predecessor of Houzz, the links still work, even though they are maybe 13 years old) and other places. Lots of lists of what to include or not, shelf sizing advice, photos, etc.. Breezygirl has a link to The Pantry Thread, which is named Pantry photos/ pics of pantries (https://www.houzz.com/discussions/2401919/pantry-photos-pics-of-pantries) which has 69 comments, lots of pics and links. The second comment in Pantry Photos/pics etc. is from Buehl contains 5 more links(copied here for convenience): Buehl 13 years ago I have a pantry suggestion...

Comments (5)There are some odors but it's from onions/ garlic. Not sure there's a lot to be done about that except put them somewhere else or store in an airtight container. The new pantry is not much different in location than the old ones. The pantry is not ventilated, but we leave the door open all of the time, so it should be like the rest of the kitchen. Thanks for that link, looks like I'm not the only one with this issue....See MoreShow me your walk-in pantry lighting
Comments (24)Hi Everyone, We are planning a ceiling mounted fixture - very simple, but has to be flousecsent to meet CA Title 24 requirements. I wanted to comment on the question by Joyce 6333 about the light coming on and off when you open and close the door. This was suggested to us by the lighting consultant (ie; salesman). It is accomplished by using something called a "pressure switch", that is mounted in the hinge of the door. I think when the pressure is relieved (by opening the door), the light somes on. When the door closes, the pressure is back, and the light goes off. It didn't sound like a big deal to do, but I'm not sure how easy it is to retrofit. Hope that helps. I thought it was a neat idea. (It also counts as an energy saving device for the CA Title 24 calculation)....See Morenatal
