Pantry Plans

Yes, the new kitchen is flashy and exciting but I'm REALLY enthusiastic about having a walk-in pantry. All that space! I can label stuff like Martha! Ok, I can't imagine I'll get that organized-- but think about how much mess I can hide in there! My cupcake papers and candy molds don't have to stored in the laundry room. The canning equipment can actually be on the main floor instead of a corner of the basement. I don't have to store my onions in a shoebox.

Today I worked out the closet layouts and it really got me fired up. It shouldn't be much more than a month til the move!!! For the layouts, I used the online design tool on the Easy Track website. They're an earth-friendly closet system that our builders suggested. The design tool was easy to use and it was fun to see the unit spinning in 3D. Their customer service staff was very helpful (I called several times with questions). Now, if only the outlets all line up perfectly I'll be set. Here's the pantry layout:

Of course if you label everything 'Martha' it could be a little confusing...

Hi Maggie,

We just went through an entire renovation of our home. When planning for shelves, make sure you measure your tallest items, like the blender or food processor. I thought I had done that but I'm about 1/4" short for my blender!

Is the freezer going to heat the space so it's too warm for the potatoes and onions?
