Dream Pantries

Color Harmony Palettes

When we lived in Greenwood, Arkansas, we lived on top of a ridge line on 8 acres outside of town. Our driveway was 650+ feet long and STEEP, so when the weather was bad, such as snow and ice, we would be stuck up on our hill until further notice. Sometimes it was so bad we lost public power and water for several days and had to chainsaw our way down to the road. For two old geezers, this got to be more and more of a problem.

We prepared seriously for winter, with whole house generators, a well for water, a fireplace for heat, etc. AND a room off the kitchen that was our pantry. It wasn’t ‘pretty,’ but we filled it with all kinds of stuff we would need if we were stuck up there and I loved it.

I DO love the idea of ‘pretty,’ though, so these pictures made me dream, even though we don’t need such in Thailand…

What I look for is flexibility in design. I want to be able to store onions, potatoes, carrots, etc., as well as flour and other baking supplies, canned goods, frozen stuff, and more. I have to admit that I have no clue what the hanging stuff is in the above pic, but it looks impressive –

Love Art USA Outfit

This is small, but I like the counter space and different types of drawers that could be adapted for storage of all kinds.

Montresor

I like the counter top with the cabinets and shelves built in. The baskets could be used for all types of things. NICE.

Sixber Home Decor

This is more regimented, but I find the stoves in here interesting. I’m not sure if this is a good idea or not…

Swhinson

I love this one. I like the fridge/freezer, the baskets for fresh herbs, the pasta containers, the straw bins for potatoes and such.

The Studio at Sweet Magnolia Lane

I really like this one, too, although I would include a ladder on a slider like you see in bookstores or libraries with good rails so you (I) don’t fall on your (my) head trying to retrieve something from up high…
