Other People's Pantries #115
From Kay, in Cottage Grove, Oregon:
Here are three pictures of my new pantry. The alcove used to house our refrigerator and various deep cupboards.
We totally gutted the kitchen last summer. This walk-in pantry was inspired by one I saw on your blog some time ago. The shelves are hemlock fir. My cousin-in-law, Dave, did the carpentry. My nephew provided the beautiful wood.
On Saturdays, we peek into Other People's Pantries.
Come on -- show us your pantry.
*There are nine more
pantries to share. If you'd like this feature to continue -- if you've
been meaning to send your photos but haven't gotten around to it --
please
send in your pantry photos. I'll keep featuring them every
Saturday as long as you keep sending them. Watch for a new Saturday
feature (one you'll all
want to participate in) when we close the doors on Other People's
Pantries.

Your pantry is very nice. I like how you have left it open. What do you use the sewing drawers for (if that's what the little box of drawers is)

Nice, I really like the open shelves.

"Watch for a new Saturday feature (one you'll all want to participate in) when we close the doors on Other People's Pantries." --Lydia, I'm really hoping you'll start this other feature soon! I bet it will be really imaginative. Maybe you could close the door after the current queue is exhausted...?

Love how the shelves fit in all the nooks & crannies! Great use of space!
I also love seeing the canning supplies, happy canning this summer.

I think it's very fun that this pantry was inspired by one that was shown earlier on Lydia's blog!

Oh, Lydia, please don't end perfect pantries! I look forward to it every Saturday!
Of course, I wouldn't want to miss out on your new feature ...
And I love Soup Chick!

Thank you for the nice comments! I use the little chest for herbs and spices.

Lydia I also enjoyed other people's pantry a lot and look for it every Saturday...but I know that you will surprise me with your new feature

I hope you'll leave the door open just a crack in case you come across a pantry too good to resist. I can't imagine what's coming next. OPP is tough to beat.

This is a perfect solution to keep all your extra food and kitchen 'electrics' at hand without having to work around them on a crowded counter top. Beautiful carpentry and engineering went into the custom shelf depths and rounded corners. Way to go Guys!

Well this is just over-the-top perfect! :D It really is nicely done, and so organized - way to go! I do hope, Lydia - that we're able to peek in to pantries once in awhile, but whatever direction you go, I'll be following!
Thank you!

Oh I do like this. We are looking to buy a house this next year and it has to have a pantry or at least room for one, thank you for the inspiration.

Love those beautiful wood shelves - carpentry is a dying art.

Oh my, this is a wonderful space. Envy how all of your kitchen appliances are grouped together.
