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?

That's beautiful, Leon. The drawer pulls are really striking. I may
need to borrow that idea for a piece I'm working on now.

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.

Thank you Larry, borrow away! Here is another version of that pull on a
much larger drawer. I actually used them on top and bottom of 4 drawers.

Thank you

Nice job Leon, nice pulls, nice contrast in colors.

I was looking at the other photos in your album. The quilted box caught
my eye, because when I look at the unfinished version it looks very
flat, but the finished version has radiused edges on the pieces. Was the
unfinished not glued, and just set in place? I like the effect of the
radiused edges, nice work.

am hoping to perhaps build the pantry again and again and.... I just
need to show it off now.

No kidding, I did similar small drawers in out other house but only 10
and those were filled in short order. That was in addition to the 8
regular drawers and 3, 36" wide drawers.

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.

I'm gonna tell your wife that you have women everywhere getting into
your drawers, boy. That'll teach you to brag.

Maybe those drawers are open at the sides, rather than the tops?


Nope, they are normally orientated drawers.
I was kidding, but that would be a cool twist on the design. I guess a
guy with the skills to build that pantry could whip up a rolling ladder
in a trice...

Yeah! Actually I might have a rolling ladder for the study and it's 11'
tall walls.

Missed the short set of steps on the far end, did you?

I did, and I still can't believe 'em.

Nice work Leon - however, I could not get away with that. We have different
definitions of a pantry up here. Gotta have room for cans and boxes on the
shelves, and none of the froo-froo stuff.

That fluff stuff is about 78" from the floor. You really would not want
to put food up high and out of reach.. LOL

Oh, I saw them when they were pointed out to me, Leon. But most women
wouldn't allow something as ugly and pedestrian as steps in their
precious kitchen! Sacre bleu, eet joost eezn't doone!

While I made a 2-step stepstool to reach up to otherwise inaccessible
areas, it lives in the mudroom on the "park side" of our house. In the
kitchen on the street side we have a kickstep roll-about stepstool that
we special-ordered through Goodman's Hardware before it sadly closed
(pancreatic cancer of owner).

To me, well worth the investment - lightweight, sturdy and you can kick
it around when you have your hands full, as when putting away groceries.

Maybe you can make another identical set and put them on the other side
of the cabinet so they look like part of the cabinet.
That way, both of you can access the drawers at the same time.
Otherwise, get rid of them and use a kitchen chair to get up there like
the rest of us do. :-)

You're one of the few men in the country whose wife will let a set of
steps or ladder get anywhere near their PROTECTED AREA, the kitchen.
You should feel grateful. titter

I keep a 2-step folder in the utility room next to the kitchen since I
use it very, very seldom.

LOL. That step stool is kinda heavy, solid white oak. I drag out the
kitchen chair when my wife is not looking. She likes to put her
seasonal fluff on the step stool steps.

Same here. But if my wife wants something from a tall shelf, she gets me to
reach it for her. She tells her girlfriends that she married me because I
am tall.

I just wanted to tell you I think your piece is absolutely stunning.
If you are at all interested in being an author, you should probably
send your photos to a magazine or two.

I agree ... and I actually got to 'tush' it! Photos do not do it justice.
