Recessed, shallow pantry situation - how would you handle this?
Comments (8)Thanks scrappy25. We can purchase the cabinet doors / skins and have the carpenter make the insides. However, in this option, it is still 1K more than using the sliding doors. Also, DH brought up a point last night after looking at the cabinet images from the KDâ¦since we cannot go to the ceiling with the pantry (due to header on that wall), the top of the pantry cabinet will be shorter than the rest of the cabinets in the space. So, he was also concerned that by using the same cabinet doors, it might look "odd". Maybe we can get the cost down by using a different door style / wood / finish for that area (possibly matching the island)....See Morehow would you use this shoe rack?
Comments (21)Jollyrd, you're probably correct--the Trash To Treasure people would probably come up with a variety of uses for the shoe racks. Around here, we're pretty much "If it doesn't work, get rid of it" type people. Because part of organizing is recognizing when to let things go. People here can be pretty ruthless. So if you have a need for hanging rods in various places around your house, cutting up the shoe racks is a great idea. It's ingenious; I never would have thought of it. On the other hand, if you are going to have to create a need for these hanging rods, then it is still clutter and should leave your house....See MoreHow would you use a silver-gray trolley with 3 shelves?
Comments (9)Cooperbailey: LOL! Honestly? I have this (huge) thing about my family eating meals together. DH leaves for work every morning, M-F, at 6:45AM. It takes him a while to get ready and he tends to wander between the bedroom, bathroom & closet while he does. So, for the past 27 years of our marriage (I swear), I get up and make a hot breakfast for us (now just DH, DD & myself) every weekday morning . . . and bring it into our MBR on trays. We all eat together in there, M-F. We watch the morning news and chat while we eat. I know that it probably sounds very strange, but it works for us . . . and has for going on 28 years this January ;^D By 6:45, DH is off to the office; at 7:05, I'm in the car driving DD to the bus stop. Thank goodness that we're all morning people, eh? And, since you asked, on weekends, everybody gets up and makes a big breakfast together. If it's warm enough outside, we eat together out on our big covered front portal; if not, we eat in the dining room. I always get asked how I get them to do it. The answer is that they've never had a choice (ROFLMAO!). This has been the way we've done it since before the kids were born. It's a benevolent dictatorship here, but a laid back, happy one.

Comments (5)It depends on what you're looking to use it for. If you want other options to best use that space here are some. If you have a low budget, these stores have good deals on storage: Five Below IKEA If you have a high budget, these are good options: The Container Store Bed Bath & Beyond...See MoreRelated Professionals
