We did't have a pantry. It was a bummer. Here is where we have been storing our food for the past few weeks - between the stove and the refrigerator. Nice, right?
Luckily, just past the kitchen on the way downstairs, there is the perfect little pantry inlet. We checked into getting a custom cabinet for the space and the cabinet guy at Home Depot guesstimated ~$1200. That sounded pretty crazy to us. So, we opted for some paint and pantry depth Closet Maid shelving.
Here is the finished product. Immediately to the right is the kitchen. We are going to hang a tension rod and a nice 98" curtain with grommets from Ikea to hide everything. Maybe some day we will put in a nice cabinet, but until then this will more than do.
Eventually all of the kitchen and stairway trim will be painted white to cover the faux gold paint that is there now. Erica is so sick of painting she could puke, so she primed and painted just the bare minimum to get the pantry area ready for shelving.

Sure this will work just fine, what did they do in the old Days? G
I like the curtain idea. What color?

Beige, I think. Have to go look at them to see what the colors really looks like first.
