I love the idea of a Butler's pantry. But instead of shelves like I have seen in display homes I would like to have tall cupboards so when you enter the Butler's pantry you don't see the food and everything is hidden. But on the opposite side of the cupboards I would have a benchtop.

What a brilliant idea Milena

I have a walk in pantry and love it

I keep everything in there, food, cups, glasses, tea/coffee, picnic baskets, small appliances, recycling bin etc etc. I have a window and the shelf underneath holds the toaster, jug, sandwich press and milkshake maker. I extended the shelving on both walls to the ceiling and *might* one day put cupboards with doors on the opposite wall. Baskets underneath hold my recipe books and magazines. I didn't want a sink but do wish I had of thought of putting in plumbing for a 2nd dishwasher.

Looks great TTD- and how luxurious to have a window. Very nice

Aaah I have a HUGE walk in pantry similar to Trying to Decorate's. I absolutely love it! I'll take some photos as soon as I've got it sorted out, right now it seems to be the dumping ground for 'stuff' that has no other home

Milena, I looove your idea, perfect. I think those Butlers pantries are awesome. Maybe the next house. Love your pantry TTD.

Dmplus3..Another great idea with your cabinets also...

I finally got around to taking photos of the pantry and located the camera cable so I am now able to share a photo

It's huge Kim. Someone could live in there- and at least they wouldn't starve

Well you won't be complaining ever about running out of space

I also love the carefully positioned floor sweeper Kim. Mine is in the exact same position. I bet you feel so organised in the very organised pantry.
I have to say I have seen smaller dry goods rooms in restaurant kitchens....
Its beautiful and spacious. Very nice.

I am excited to say that my new butlers pantry(yet to be built) is 3.8 meters long....and 1.5 across.... I have not decided if I should get built in cabinetry or just shelving as per attached pic (this is Ina Garten - Barefoot Contessa's Hampton pantry).

I would like a small shelf for all my paperwork bills and the like with a pin board hidden away for my eyes only.
