Family C - Pantry


This is a case where storage space isn't the problem, just a lack of systems.

The client moved in and put things where they fit as she unpacked instead of where they necessarily worked. Four months later and this client who loves to cook and entertain is taking twice as long to do things in her kitchen because she has to go too far between her pantry, spices, fridge, dishes and food. She also needed access to an electrical room at the back of the pantry that was completely blocked. The classic thing that happens to many people is they half unpack and then keep these boxes hanging around, occasionally digging out a thing or two.

What this kitchen lacked was flow. The pantry had to get organized and the dishes had to finish getting unpacked and relocated in the kitchen cupboards so she could find things, cook and clean up easily.

Before After

The Kitchen was a lot of rearranging. It was a big job of making sure certain foods came OUT of the pantry for easy preparation and create a flow so that when my client cooked, she didn't have to shuffle around this big kitchen as much. She needed more items within reach when preparing dinners.
