As many of you know my wife and I had a new home built with my 3 car
shop and her upstairs quilting studio. The only real thing lacking in
this new home was kitchen pantry storage. This particular house comes in
two styles. A 2 story and a 1 story. The 1 story has a walk in pantry,
the 2 story sacrifices the walk in pantry so that a staircase could be
added. About 15 months ago I began designing a free standing pantry to
place on a 15' long and 11' tall wall. Yesterday I finished the "Country
Style Pantry" and my wife is once again happy with her kitchen. The 26
drawers that I built for this unit put me at 98 drawers that I built
this year. The pantry is 8'x 8'x 16"deep.


Looks great. Can I ask what materials you used?


Oh Nooooo that is a big secret! LOL And thank you.

Greg the dark and lighter wood is white oak. I used General Finishes
Water based Dye Stain Dark Brown and plain oil based varnish on
everything except the actual drawer bodies. The drawer bodies are made
from 1/2" Baltic birch with rabbited corners reinforced with domino tenons.
