I though mine would be too big considering we didn't really have one before and just used a couple of cupboards for food and eventually added some overheads when our daughter was born. Now I'm thinking it may not be big enough! Re: Walk through pantry 4Mar 03, 2011 2:50 pm chrisandkate @kyton So how is it living on the set of MasterChef? Thats a nice pantry. I though mine would be too big considering we didn't really have one before and just used a couple of cupboards for food and eventually added some overheads when our daughter was born. Now I'm thinking it may not be big enough! I adore my pantry!! I wanted a large pantry and made sure I got one. Everyone who comes over for the first time is amazed when they walk in (we get a lot of "Where are the shopping trolleys?" quips!) Even though there are no cupboards and everything is out on display I actually prefer it because I never forget where something is and every appliance gets used (not like when they were tucked away in the dark corners of cupboards). Some things are worth waiting for. Re: Walk through pantry 7Mar 03, 2011 4:43 pm I love the design.... makes me think about what type of kitchen pantry I would like..... Can I ask why you want to put a sink the pantry also have one in the kitchen? Depending on ventilation would having just one sink hidden away be a good idea.... mmmm got me thinking now.... Re: Walk through pantry 8Mar 03, 2011 9:37 pm I kind of see the double door thing as a waste of space but having seen the design and understanding the aesthetic look you are going for, understand the aim. However, not sure how good cavity sliders would look in a traditional country kitchen. In some ways if you were to do this I would have no doors at all.

Instead I would choose no doors or alternatively doors that echoed your cabinetry doors. The only problem with no doors is your pantry would have to be immaculate the majority of the time & the other biggy for me - having a crawling baby at least with a door I can keep him out. Those tissues and plastic bags call to him as soon as the door is open LOL. Some things are worth waiting for. Re: Walk through pantry 10Mar 04, 2011 6:38 am Nice pantry Kyton. Country Life, I would not do the double door thing. With a double door you lose space and it will drive you mad closing the doors all the time. Spend what you save on really good lighting (like Kytons). I also think the sink in the pantry is a waste...sinks take up a lot of room and you would have to shelve around it and what are you really going to achieve. Also looking at your plans, if that space is 4.5 metres, you effectively have your fridge nearly 3.5 metres from your sink. That is a long expanse. I would look at a way to bring those closer together because that is probably the most common transit in a kitchen fridge - sink, sink - fridge. Re: Walk through pantry 12Mar 04, 2011 9:29 am Thanks for all your comments. I will go back to the drawing board and have another play. Not really sure how to get the sink and fridge closer as I need something along the window bench ie sink. Maybe fridge could come over next to sink where one door is. Next to oven. Not sure about that though... Do you really want to accommodate the window? What is on the outside of the window? Do you want to be able to see your towels from outside?
