Custom-designed Pantry

This pantry was designed to maximize pantry space for a home lacking  the area required for a walk-in pantry. Due to the remote location of the resi-
dence for which this pantry was designed, the owners are unable to make frequent trips to the grocery store. Therefore, maximum pantry space was a key component in the overall design of the kitchen plan.

The designer selected library style shelving and by-pass frosted glass doors for this pantry. The frosted glass doors provide adequate visibility for locating an item, yet there is enough obscurity for a clean over- all appearance. The glass doors are sliding ones, thereby leaving the path of travel in front of the pantry clear. This arrangement enables one to cook at the kitchen's island  while having easy access to the pantry. 

This pantry offers an excellent example of a creative custom design pro-
viding a client's needs in an area where space is minimal but the need for storage is maximal--a situation often faced by innkeepers, especially when their B&B is located in an old home where there was not a separate pantry for storage or when the inn is located in a remote location like the property for which this pantry was designed.

 

 
 

 
 

 
    Other Custom-made Items
    to Consider for a Bed and Breakfast Inn


  • Wet Bar*
  • Laundry room storage area
  • Compartmentalized linen and towel closet
    		•
*A popular item for a B and B is a wet bar which integrates a beverage refrigerator, a wine reserve, and an ice maker invisibly within a custom designed/custom built piece of furniture. An integrated wet bar prevents the marring of a room's decor with a kitchen appliance placed in a hall area, guest room, or some other location other than a kitchen. A wet bar, as other custom designed pieces, can be designed to coordinate with B and B guest rooms or for placement in one of the inn's common areas. A photograph of a  custom designed/custom built wet bar will be added soon.

 

 
 
 

Pet Memorabilia Box

The folks at AWD know how attached we become to our pets and how they  can become like members of our family. It seems like most B and Bs have either an "inn dog" or  an "inn cat"--sometimes both. When they do, guests often become attached to the inn's pet as well and look forward to seeing it on return visits.

When a beloved pet is lost, this custom-designed  memorabilia box (inscribed with pet's name on top panel) provides a special place for keeping the pet's cremains, collar, tags, photograph, a favorite toy, and other mementos of the pet we loved. The box is compartmentalized with a section for cremains covered with a removable wooden tray.
