This picture is proof positive that dedicated pantry space is not a necessity. Using attractive fixtures and bins allows you to store kitchen necessities out in the open.

Creating narrow shelves on the inside of pantry doors is a smart way to store small items like spices while keeping them easily visible.

This pantry provides great storage ideas. Note the use of baskets to store foods like potatoes out in the open. Further, note the small shelf below the window with fresh herbs growing in a small pot, and the narrow shelves housing extra rolls of toilet paper. The addition of a refrigerator is smart for large families who need to keep extra perishables on hand.

This pantry illustrates the fact that unique finishes need not be avoided just because a space is utilitarian. I know that if I opened my pantry and saw a rustic stone wall behind the shelves, it would bring a smile to my face everytime.

Renee I don't think that it's toilet paper, I'm pretty sure it would be paper towel... that's what I put chips on when I get them out of the oil, it soaks up the extra so they don't go soggy.
