Anyone have a sink in their pantry. Do you use it? What do you use it for mainly?
I love the idea but when I get thinking about it, why build a lovely big kitchen and want to do anything in such a tiny space?

Strangely enough it has become one of my most favourite rooms in the house Re: Butlers pantry - sink in there? 3Jun 03, 2010 10:59 pm They don't call them Butler sinks for nothing! It sounds like a nifty idea to me. Cheers, Dennis Re: Butlers pantry - sink in there? 5Jun 04, 2010 8:33 am I wanted one, but didn't quite have the space for it. Butler's pantrys with sinks are great when you are preparing food, especially when guests come around, as all the mess can be hidden away by closing a door.

Dishwasher is in island, so dishes go from that sink straight to dishwasher, but the BP sink is great for preparing baby food/bottles, also great for soaking things. We have kettle/tea/coffee in BP too, so the sink is great for tipping out water, refilling etc too. It's great - if you can do it, do it. Don't even think twice, adds value to your home I'm sure. (btw, we have 2nd fridge in there too = another thing I'm very glad about now too) A thankful person is a happy person.

I don't have one, but wish I did, for exactly the reason jbdave gives... hiding the mess that my family are incapable of cleaning up! I'd also put the dishwasher in there (and the kitchen bin to make emptying scraps easier) - you could shut the door and there'd be no noise to interfere with TV or conversation. Re: Butlers pantry - sink in there? 8Jun 09, 2010 7:58 pm I didn't want a sink in my nice big pantry ... I didn't want the steam/moisture etc where I store dry goods etc. I wanted the pantry to be a cool dry dark place. I've also found ... with a dishwasher, the number of sink washed dishes are minimal anyway ... so why would I need two separate locations for washing up?!
