I love a pantry...
in my book, it's a kitchen neccessity!
When we moved into our apartment in Durham as newlyweds, we had a small closet that we used as a pantry.
One of the drawing points to the house we bought in Durham was the awesome pantry which was huge with lots of built-in shelves.
So, when we moved into our cozy rental house here in Nashville, I was so disappointed that we had no pantry.
That coupled with the general lack of storage space led us to consider other options for a pantry.
Meet my mock pantry...
It's a black 5-shelf bookcase from Wal-Mart that my husband was kind enough to assemble for me. It sits in the open area just off of our kitchen & laundry closet. It was sort-of a wasted space anyway.
I didn't like the fact that the contents of my "pantry" were so exposed.
So, I found a dowel rod...painted it black...found some inexpensive material @ Hobby Lobby & sewed this curtain.
We keep it tied up & out of the way most of the time, but if anyone comes over, we usually close it up to fully hide our pantry goods.
It's not perfect, but it works!
