This is the front entry. I’d like to replace the open Ikea shelf with a nicer folder out pantry (lorder is what pops up on Pinterest). Also, the laundry area to right of the machines covers a small basement access. But I’d like to clean that up so visually when you walk in, a messy storage shelf and laundry area is jot overwhelming.

Stand alone pantry’s I’m finding are too narrow and don’t provide enough overflow. So I’d like to maximize the entire width (45” from trim to switch for basement). Shopping link preferred that ships.

I did see rev a shelf has a nice insert but finding a cabinet hasn’t worked.

Background: this is a 1942 lake house (notice logs) that was added onto, space you see. It’s in MN so the armoire is still needed for coats, household tool, other random storage you’d put in utility room. Storage in entire hone is limited.

I’m stuck on some areas with what can be done but I’d like to make it nicer as much as possible. We don’t want to know down walls or anything
