Remember my pantry? Yeah, the new one in the kitchen.
Well…it never got finished because I knew right away that I’d have to change something. I purposefully left a 48″ wide walkway next to the window in the kitchen because I wanted to add a window seat. But I don’t want a window seat just sitting under the window. I want a window seat flanked by cabinets…which would create an issue of having full access to the pantry.
Things are a little fuzzy during the months of December, January and maybe even into February. I can’t blame it on meds as I wasn’t taking anything after my back surgery but some muscle relaxers. They were the size of horse pills though so maybe they effected me more than I knew.
Needless to say, I knew I’d have to do a little demo and reshape my pantry. Something about yesterday felt like the right time to dive in. I had my barn door glue setting and paint drying on my new “Drop Station” bench and I needed something else to do and I always say, “There’s no time like the present”!
Actually, I don’t think I’ve ever said that before…but it works for me in this situation so I’m just rolling with it. I tore out part of the framing yesterday…
What fun! Oh yeah– and I finished trimming out that window! Did you notice?
(Compare the last 2 pictures.)
Time to make it an L shaped pantry – then add my window seat – in between waiting for more glue to set and paint to dry.
My life is all excitement!
Well at least you realized the issue BEFORE you finished it up! Win!
Sounds like the perfect solution!
I would love to know how you built the shelves. I have a niche in my kitchen that I want to add shelving.
Ooooohhhhh! This looks exciting! I can hardly wait to see what you do! Your window looks great.
