Pantry Door

In the reno diagram I made earlier, I didn't include a lot of details, because I was going for the general layout.  Now I drafted up a bit more detail.

So as you can see the beautiful green area will be shelves that are 12" deep going around the whole pantry.  Yipee!  Lots of storage room!  The pantry will be 3' front to back by 10' side to side.  Now I'm not sure how wide the current door is, but most doors are around 30"-36" if I am correct.  Meaning that our door won't work.  So the 2 solutions that we brainstormed right away are:

1. See if we can make the door swing out (I have no idea if this will even work with the current door)
2. Make it a pocket door (which takes precious pantry space away)

Then as I was falling asleep I had a great idea.  We could have it framed for a door, but hang a curtain instead of an actual door.  I really like that idea the best!  So I told Ev about it and he seemed to think that would also work!

Now as for what we'll actually do, it's to be determined.  I can't wait till we actually have possession so we can go measure things, and get started!  13 sleeps :)
