Walk-In Pantry
Two cramped, awkward spaces, a builder pantry with wire shelving and a small storage closet next to it, combined into a single walk-in pantry with custom cabinetry and a walnut counter.
The owners had a pantry that didn't work and a storage closet next to it that worked even less. Both were narrow, both had wire shelving, and neither had a counter. The fix wasn't more shelves. The fix was one room.
We took down the wall between the two spaces, moved HVAC, plumbing, and electrical to clear the footprint, and framed a new single opening into the combined room. From there it was custom cabinetry: upper shelves wrapping three walls, lower cabinets with deep cubbies for baskets and bins, and a walnut herringbone countertop running the full perimeter. The counter is the working surface the old pantry never had, and the warm wood against the white cabinetry is what keeps the room from feeling clinical.
The result is a real walk-in pantry, with a place for everything and a place to actually use it.
Scope

- Relocation of HVAC, plumbing, and electrical
- New framed opening into the combined space
- Custom built-in shelving and lower cabinetry, painted
