Our Home Renovation | Pantry Edition

Thursday came way too fast this week!
I think I have been operating a day behind in my mind all week.
Since it is Thursday, it is time for another look our home reno project.

The house itself is currently at that stage where little things here and there are getting done, but it isn't noticeable enough for pictures.

So I figured I would share some more ideas and inspiration we have for one of the rooms.

Today is all about the Pantry!

It won't be excessively big, but you will be able to walk in the space.
Is it weird that I am fairly excited for this area?
The original "pantry" in our home was not meant for much other than cans and some small containers/boxes.
While it was nice to have the designated space in the kitchen, it just didn't work for us.
But in our new design we added a walk in pantry that will be able to house #allthethings :)

It will look pretty similar to the photo below with shelves running the length of one full wall and wrapping around the end.



There will be a full size window in the pantry as well since it sits on an exterior wall.

At this time it will be all open shelving - no drawers or cabinet doors.
However, there will be counter space under the window (like the above photo) for our microwave and such.

Since the window is in there, we are leaning toward a hammered glass paneled door in black to let some of the light shine through.

I can't wait to be able to have all of my crock pots, party supplies, etc. all in one place!

I would love to hear your suggestions on anything I need to make sure is in my pantry!

Let's Look | Kitchen Pantry

Hey! Hey! It's Wednesday!

Today I am linking up with Shay & Erika and talking about the Kitchen Pantry.

Some of you know that we are in the process of remodeling/rebuilding our home.

I swear some pictures are coming soon on the progress :)

The original pantry was nothing to write home about.

Due to the size, quite a few items had to sit on the counter :/

This pantry was definitely designed for lots of canned goods!

In our previous home there was a big double door closet right in the kitchen area that we turned into a pantry.

It felt huge!

It held everything!

In our rebuild we are actually adding a walk-in pantry right off the kitchen.

I can't freakin' wait!!!!

Storage was a huge issue for me in this house, so I am so excited to gain so much room for food, mixers, extra paper goods and more!

Here are some pictures of what I have in mind for our new pantry.

It won't be huge, but I will be able to walk in and have multiple shelves.

My plan is to have our microwave, toaster, etc. in the pantry.

The jury is still out if the Keurig will go in there as well or be out on the kitchen counter ;)

A few questions for those of you that have walk in pantries...

1. Do you have a counter space or just shelves?

2. Should the shelves vary in size or all standard height?

3. Do you have built in drawers or just baskets/jars/etc.?

Thanks in advance for any tips or suggestions you may have!
