Comments (5)A2-thanks for the note about the wire. A few more inches last night, looks beautiful outside this morning, all clean again. I'm definitely ready for it all to melt though! Others-any layout comments, ideas? I'm rethinking the warming drawer, just realized that I might be able to slide is under my MW drawer (DH is going to look into). This way, I could have a slightly larger 27" warming drawer and then no concern about heat from MW affecting dry goods/onions/potatoes....See Morecan someone help me plan/design pantry?
Comments (5)My first reaction is that built-ins in an enclosed pantry is going to both limit your storage options, and cost a LOT. One of the advantages of a walk-in pantry is that drywall and shelves are cheaper than cabinetry. My second reaction is that you and I have different definitions of "not a huge space"! I think a 7'x3' pantry is pretty big. But putting the storage on the back wall means you only have a foot or so to get in - I'm not terribly overweight, but I would not fit. I would shelves along both side walls. Can you make your return walls a bit longer? You will actually be able to walk in, and you will easily be able to access what's in there - and you can easily build shelves to the ceiling to maximize use of the space. You can put hooks on the back wall for the broom and Swiffer....See MoreHelp me design our walk-in pantry!
Comments (12)oldbat2be I don't think a pocket door will work, but also I prefer being able to use the back of the door for a spice rack. Stan Z, good point about future furnace replacement. It's in good shape (we had it inspected recently), but you never know. In the pre-demo layout, there was already two 32" doors between the furnace and main area. The door closest to the furnace is a louvered bifold. The other door was between laundry and wet bar, we've removed that and are putting in a door instead between wet bar and new kitchen, which is along the 90" wall. You can get a rough idea of the new kitchen layout - it'll go pantry door, then refrigerator, then induction stove top, then wall oven/microwave across the 90" wall. With an island across from it with sink and dishwasher. But I think you mean keep the pantry side of the 90" wall free, in case we have to remove the furnace in the future? That was my thought as well -- I am thinking just put in hooks there for hanging mops and brooms. Thanks for the recommendation for the 65" wall. I was thinking deeper shelves on bottom (15-18 inch?) then 12 inch shelves higher up (for canned goods). Or would you go 15-18 inch for all the shelves? Does anyone know of an online closet/pantry design site where I can play around with the layout? Most of the ones I've found won't allow you to design an odd-shaped pantry like this....See MoreHelp with walk in pantry design
Comments (3)not sure what is under the tape, but if it's just open floor, the pantry is still part of the kitchen before you get to the French doors in the LR>. The back wall of the pantry will provide a nice place for a table/chest as you have shown....See Moreravencajun Zone 8b TX
