Nestled behind my kitchen, the central pantry contains everything I need while cooking delicious meals. The purpose of my pantry is storage of and easy access to items essential to the kitchen. The Diamond Cabinets were designed by MasterBrand with the focus on beauty and function.
My pantry keeps food, dishes and china, glassware, and crystal organized and easily accessible. Some of my crystal is displayed, but most pieces are stored in the pullout shelves and drawers.
The antique rolling pins, wooden cheese boxes, and bread boards serve as décor. The finish chosen for the cabinets is Diamond’s Seal. Its vintage hue blends beautifully with the modern granite and stainless-steel farmhouse sink by Kohler yet gives a cozy feel to the room. Surrounding yourself with things you love is always a great starting point for decorating.
The old-fashioned plate racks allow ample display area for plates that are changed seasonally. Other cherished items find perfect spots on the display shelves. The modern conveniences of pullout drawers and slide-out shelves add to the cleverness of my pantry design.
I chose the Amerock cabinet hardware because of its charming antique finish. The oversized pulls are easy to use and add a vintage look to the room. The corner pullout drawers are the perfect place for storing fragile china plates, and the spinning food storage racks within the long cabinets maximize the space while keeping things organized.
I just love my pantry. It gives me the convenience needed for my everyday cooking while creating a nicely designed and functional space. Stay tuned for more from my new house! We’re touring every room and dedicating a post to each one!
