A CLOSET THAT WAS TOO MESSY<\/strong><\/p>\n

My kitchen pantry was so ugly! \u00a0A closet with a laminate door smack in the middle of my kitchen. It needed a pantry–a Butlers Pantry.<\/p>\n

After buying the house I installed wire pantry shelving and have re-organized it more times than I care to count. When I used it as a food pantry, food would fall off the shelves and spill in the back where I would have to spend hours removing foodstuffs in order to clean it out.<\/p>\n

Then I tried using the pantry for my appliances, but the shelves couldn’t handle the weight. I tried storing my cleaning supplies and my paper goods. It didn’t matter how I tried to utilize the pantry closet, it never worked, and the kids always left the door open.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

When we decided to remodel the kitchen in order to make it more user friendly and to give it a more custom look, I was more than happy to see my ugly and dis-functional pantry closet die.<\/p>\n

I opted for a Butlers Pantry. \u00a0This plan gives me a designated baking area and visually increases the size of the kitchen. Not to mention it’s really pretty.\"Butlers<\/p>\n

STEP 1: REMOVE THE DOOR AND JAMB<\/strong><\/p>\n

My husband pulled out the pantry shelves and removed the door and door jamb to the studs and sheet rock.\u00a0\"Butlers<\/p>\n

STEP 2: \u00a0WIDEN THE CLOSET<\/strong><\/p>\n

Then he widened the opening to match the depth of the closet.<\/p>\n

\"Butlers<\/p>\n

STEP 3: ADD THE PLYWOOD ARCH<\/strong><\/p>\n

Next he added a plywood arch to match the other arched openings into the kitchen.\"Butlers<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

STEP 4: \u00a0ADD THE STONE TO THE ARCH<\/strong><\/p>\n

Part of my design plan utilized stone archways to highlight different areas of the kitchen. \u00a0The butlers pantry then needed it’s own stone archway. \u00a0For ease of use, we chose stone 12×12 tiles. \u00a0These were easy to install and to cut, but eliminated the tedious work of hand cutting individual tiles.\"Butlers<\/p>\n

We had removed an upper and a lower cabinet from the kitchen in order to install the over-sized refrigerator, that fit perfectly in the space. \u00a0It created a cohesive look for the kitchen and gave me the space to organize the pantry items that were displaced with the remodel. \u00a0The upper cabinet now housed all my baking canisters and the lower was a catch-all for the pantry items.<\/p>\n

To complete the butlers pantry project we installed a track-style led light that gave us work light without compromising the style.<\/p>\n

Let us know what you think in the comments below. \u00a0Do you like the look and feel of a butlers pantry, or do you think the closet style pantry is more functional?<\/p>\n
