Pantry Behind Cabinets

9 years ago

We're needing to tweak our home plans, and one of the ideas I'm thinking of is to locate the pantry behind the kitchen cabinets. So there would be a doorway at the end of a run of cabinets, and then the pantry would go behind the cabinets. I think I've seen a picture of something similar here but can't find it. Was it Nini's white kitchen?

That is so funny...I saw this topic and wondered if you meant a set up similar to mine, then I saw my name! :) My pantry is located directly behind my range wall. It is accessed through my little "office" area. I absolutely love it. The pantry is super close to my fridge, range, and the "working" side of my island. Here is a pic, the pantry takes up about 3/4 of the width of the range wall in depth, and my "butlery" (ID's term, must mean a little butler's pantry, lol) takes up the other 1/4 on the right side to service the dining room which is on the other side of the wall. It seems to be a good plan, at least it works for us. My pantry is large, and I love my "office!"

This is the butler's pantry on the right side:
