Here is a wide shot, taken from the breakfast nook, that helps put all the pieces into their proper place.
Those are the pantry doors to the left, the main part of the kitchen in the center and the strip of wood on the right is the side of the leaded glass cabinet.
There is a cart that will go into the empty space to the left of the fridge. It pulls out to give access to the cabinet in the corner and also acts as a floating island so I can have work space on either side of the stove.
I bought an entire cart of groceries at Trader Joe's and didn't even come close to filling the pantry. Normally I only bring home the stuff that can fit in the little basket you carry around by hand because that was all I had room for on the gorilla shelves.
Not sure what I will do with all this space!
There used to be a ghetto door to the world's most rickety staircase in the back portion of the kitchen.
We took that out almost as soon as we moved in and now we have finally made use of the space.
The wall has been built out to make a pantry and we used two of the doors Rob salvaged on it. The pantry is about 12 inches deep, which was how long we needed to extend the wall on the east side of the kitchen so that we could put the stove on an outside wall and make it easier to vent the exhaust fan.
