A true walk-in pantry is a luxury that many homes don't offer,but is something every kitchen design should consider including! Here's a behind the scenes peek into a recent pantry makeover that was part of a larger kitchen remodel.

This pantry transitions from the garage with a slate floor.

A wealth of possibilities: space for storage of those bulk paper goods, little used small appliances and day to day back-up staples. What about extra refrigerator drawers and/or freezer drawers for gathers with family and friends?

Stainless refrigerator drawers and freezer drawers with drawer panels

In this pantry, refrigerator and freezer drawers tuck under the countertop finished in the same material as the floating shelves.

Space was left for dog bowls, hanging leashes and re-usable bags by the entry

Depending on your needs, a pantry can provide extra countertop, storage or even hobby or craft space. In this family of dog lovers, space was left for the dog bowls and walking boots, and hanging space for leashes and supplies by the door.
