A butler’s pantry that sounds as if I am living in a huge house! The opposite. In the kitchen and dining room I don’t have enough space to store everything I like and need. Because one of my hobby’s is cooking for friends and family and I want to keep a lot of items I was looking for an alternative. The place has to be dry so I found the ultimate location on the attic. There I have built my butler’s pantry. As a result:\u00a0 I can still collect al kinds of china, glasses etc and now I know where to find it and I don’t have to open different cardboard boxes before I can use things.<\/p>\n

A bit of history<\/div>\n

In the days of Downton Abbey in a butler’s pantry silver, glass, table-linen and setts of china were kept. The butler had a key of the room to protect all these items. The room was also used for counting and polishing the silver. Nowadays the pantry is located just next to the kitchen or dining room, mainly to store table-ware. For me, I have to take two stairs but it works.<\/p>\n

Inventory<\/h2>\n

Inventory, what do you have, glass ware, table-linen, cutlery, appliances all the things you want to keep but is not used on a daily base (unless you have the pantry next to your kitchen). Don’t forget the specials like a pasta maker, ice machine, the electric wok. Do you know there are lists of the least used appliances, usually they take up a lot of storage space before you put them away or donate it to charity. This is the time to say goodbye.<\/p>\n

Shelving<\/h2>\n

Choose the way of shelving of course it is great if it is a flexible system, maybe with drawers but sometimes you have no choice. Maybe you have already a built in closet you can use, a cabinet with doors of glass or a space which you can hide behind sliding doors.
