Still a work in progress in terms of painting. I wonder what to do to get a functional and very convenient pantry with the best utilization in space from inside shelving to outside door. And do I even do baseboards inside ? Thanks.

Comments (20)I love the pantry animato shared. One of my favorites. You don't have to copy it exactly, of course. Tweak it for your needs and the types of things you need to store. It could easily be designed with vacuum storage. I encourage you to do a search for pantries here on Houzz and on the web in general. There are hundreds of great designs out there. Gather ideas and inspirations. And, yes, come back here with your pantry drawn on graph paper to scale with a list of specific things you need to store in the pantry and I'm sure you'll get some great help. I would absolutely not tear out the walls to put in pantry cabinets. That is much more expensive and I have never seen a pantry cabinet yet that gives you as nice of storage options as you can put in that space by keeping the exterior closet walls and customizing a pantry for your needs....See MoreNeed Space Saving Pantry Door Ideas?
Comments (10)jennifer - I am a huge pocket door fan, especially for a pantry. It's a fabulous, functional solution, which also solves the ventilation question, as the door(s) can remain open. You can dress it up with trim work and hardware. I'm linking here to Johnson Hardware, one maker of pocket door hardware. bbtrix - pretty! Edited to add - you could add trim around your current door, and hide that upper 'gap'....See MoreHelp!!! Update kitchen on a budget? Any ideas? need a pantry
Comments (7)This is far from a classic mcm home! the light is the only thing that looks like it's from the 50's-60's. Those cabs are builder grade oak from the 80's check ikea. you could prob do some lowers. as for the other part, save up so you can do a new countertop w/an overhang for that peninsula. also, trim out the front of the peninsula w/some panel trim work, and paint. the front of this looks like plywood! try something like this, and do the side as well, and paint and paint the cabs while youre at it. get yourself some inexpensive hardware for the cabinets. don't know what you can spare for a budget, but if you paint them yourself, can do some basic carpentry and look into a pre-fab countertop, you wouldn't need more than 2-3K. Ikea is another option if you just want to remove everything and start over. RTA cabinets are another option. for about 3K, and some install work, you could have all new cabs. countertops, another 2K. and if you want a tall pantry, remove that window and install one next to the fridge....See More
