Kitchen walk in pantry---good idea?
Comments (7)My question is: have you been properly interviewed by your kitchen designer(s)? We all have great ideas but which fits you best is the key. To answer your question: A walk-in pantry is great but a properly designed reach-in one is even better since you have the wall unit off to the side. Have you considered the ones that actually roll out towards you? Please see attached photo. And I would use whatever cabinet space you were planning on using for the pantry for a built-in microwave to free up its existing location for a vent. Add drawers for all of your pots and pans and don't forget a dedicated base cabinet if you have a kitchen aid stand mixer!...See MoreKitchen/pantry question
Comments (4)Thanks for your input. We have a one story home and 2 1/2 baths. We never use that powder room. Never. It's in the laundry room, and the other bath is in the hallway- that's the one our guests always use. I should have clarified that. :)...See MoreNew Build - Walk- In Pantry Entrance - female vs male opinion
Comments (18)Eliminate the pantry in favor of a built in wall pantry and add a second sink to the layout. You really need a counter area to juggle through the contents of the fridge and place things for prep. Without that counter what do you do with an armful of salad makings? Additionally, without the pantry you have a larger island. I also suggest you lay out the kitchen with the fridge and sink in closer proximity (or a prep sink). Think of the salad having to go all the way to the sink to be washed....See MoreNeed Help With Kitchen Layout, Oven Question
Comments (12)The fridge should not be next to the oven. Personally I have a double wall oven and love it and I disagree with not having one you will want it when its thanksgiving or a holiday where you have family or friends over and you need to warm a ton of stuff up at the same time. I would try and configure the microwave either into a cabinet or actually if thats where it has to go I would rather keep the microwave and keep the double wall oven not really loving it in the pantry you need to think of your routines and your families routines on a daily basis and map it out and see if certain things seem comfortable or not. Never knew you shouldn't put a dishwasher to the left of the sink if you are a righty. I have 2 dishwashers one is to the right of the sink in the butlers pantry and the main one if to the left of my farm sink and honestly I like the one in the BP better maybe thats why because I'm a righty.we are actually sprucing up our kitchen now after 10 years I hate granite and wish I would have done marble or quartz and I want wood floors instead of tile and that will be enough to give it a more current look but my point is that I wouldn't change anything about my layout and usually people don't like theres. If you need further help I love planning things just have to drive my daughter to school now. Take care,...See Morecotehele
