Designing and building this house has really just been an expensive and time-consuming route to a pantry and a mud room. I am not ready for the big mud room reveal yet, but I am very happy to share the pantry. Although it is not yet painted, and it is hard to capture in a decent photo, I know you can imagine it. Men may fantasize about their multi-media man caves and giant steam showers. But for women, most of us just want a pantry. Shelves. Not too deep, and not too narrow. But like Goldilocks in her persuit of the perfect bed, just right.
So here is my pantry. So humble in its beginnings.
But I can imagine. Shelves lined with cereal boxes, just the right height for the kids to grab. Cans grouped by category. Baking ingredients waiting to be mixed and popped in the oven. Ample space on the floor for those giant packages of paper towels that you know take up too much room, but really do offer such great value.
I invite you. Share your pantry dream. It is safe here.
