Lucky we bought one and brought it w/ us from MD. It is tucked in the corner of our dining room - but, I still don't like the tiny pantry - it's deep, too, so almost useless. What do the three bedroom homes get around here? A DOUBLE pantry!!! Oh, and even though the laundry rooms are downstairs, they are still not in the kitchen (a pet peeve of mine, generally) . . . but they also have a kick-butt downstairs 1/2 bath - mine is so narrow, you almost have to back in. Silly! But, true. Why can't they take the best elements of the designs from each house and make them all the same? That's contract work for you I guess.<br /><br />Anyway, LOVELY job on the pantry!!!!!Sarah Oldhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00169484284618791110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3130102521697018241.post-18959590869663045282010-08-17T13:01:40.986-04:002010-08-17T13:01:40.986-04:00Oh it's beautiful!

Every time my husband thinks of getting that type of dog, I clearly think of you guys. <br /><br />You gave me the inspiration to clean out my computer room and art supplies. I'll have to take pics of when I'm finished and put it up on my blog to show you!

I have dreams about a pantry, and I know how sad that makes me sound ;). <br /><br />Our laundry "closet" was on the second floor, but we turned it into a bigger linen/storage closet because my dad (an insurance adjuster) said the same things as Holmes. upstairs laundry rooms are not good news in a structural sense. My dad had lots of claims with severe water damage to entire first floors from upstairs laundry rooms. We moved the whole laundry operation to the basement, where I can wash in the cool, semi-dark any time I want to :).<br /><br />Great job on the pantry . . . one day I will have one! Hopefully before all the kids are grown and I don't need it anymore. :)Aimeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16332125903937752882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3130102521697018241.post-48144252662908521372010-08-17T08:56:02.191-04:002010-08-17T08:56:02.191-04:00Teresa, It is amazing how you can feel better abou...Teresa, It is amazing how you can feel better about a whole room because of one closet. Just knowing it's tidy, even behind doors, makes me happy.<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by, Elizabeth. I realize I am fortunate to have such a big space. I also think the amount of space contributes to its own messiness! <br /><i>Holmes on Homes</i> (do you ever watch him on HGTV?) says turning upstairs space into a laundry room is not a good idea because the structure was not built to withstand all the vibration from the machines. Also a big mess if water ever spilled over/out.<br />Yes -- throwback Mountain Dew -- my honey bought on a whim.

I envy all that space - in one space. :D My kitchen *pantry* is scattered throughout many a cupboard.<br /><br />I have a similar closet set-up on our 3rd floor, but to vent/plumb it is labor and cost extensive...so I do my wash in the dungeon too.<br /><br />I spy throwback mt. dew. I bought a few to stash away. <br /><br />I so enjoy and am uplifted by your blog!!<br /><br />In Christ!<br />bizelizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11931015377867378049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3130102521697018241.post-47086037691314826022010-08-16T22:53:50.112-04:002010-08-16T22:53:50.112-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11931015377867378049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3130102521697018241.post-19365647010314040002010-08-16T22:46:27.484-04:002010-08-16T22:46:27.484-04:00Looks actually inviting in the accessible sense. ...Looks actually inviting in the accessible sense. (does that make sense?) I really despise those plastic coated wire shelves, especially for pantries. ANYTHING on them makes them sag pretty quickly. <br /><br />Amazing how organizing something that feels and looks cluttered can actually make us feel better too, doesn't it?Dirtdartwifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04671888274136206862noreply@blogger.com
