As Featured in West + Main Home Magazine: Bar + Pantry Make Over

West + Main agent Alexandria Reed has only lived in her home for two years...but the constant struggle to find storage without a pantry was already getting really old.

The kitchen definitely didn't need a full remodel, but the strange space next to the fridge just felt like an un-used waste, no matter what Alex tried to fill it with. Inspired by all of the new-construction homes that she was busy showing to clients, the answer became clear: by framing and drywalling a brand-new pantry enclosed with a modern barn door, and filling in the rest of the nook with a coffee bar and reading corner, several problems were solved with just a minimal investment!

 

"I love creating little vignettes of joy in our home...and this project gave me plenty of opportunities to do just that! Mixing + balancing textures, colors, old treasures and fresh finds is a never-ending process, and so much fun!"

PAINT COLOR is SHALE - BENJAMIN MOORE

I love my home so much more now, and if we ever decide to sell, we'll definitely stand out from competition in the neighborhood, because the builder did not incorporate a pantry space or coffee bar, which are both highly sought-after features, into any of the floorplans available in this community.
