Like all building/remodeling (as you well know) our project here is going along but . . . oh, it seems so slow when you work all day and it looks like so little progress has been made! I guess the secret is to just keep at it steadily and it will get done.Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-82171693772395889822010-06-19T23:02:55.464-05:002010-06-19T23:02:55.464-05:00I miss poppies those look wonderful.
I'm in se...I miss poppies those look wonderful.<br />I'm in serious envy mode with your pantry, thats going to be awesome. I just read a series of articles concerning modern home design. Pantries went out in the 50'S with porches when the suburban era set in. We're lucky enough to have a large closet pantry and plenty of storrage in the basement but its a pain in the rear or knees going up and down those stairs. I cant wait to see more progress photos!Katididshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15568618127371786808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-68017035745319233542010-06-19T21:00:19.697-05:002010-06-19T21:00:19.697-05:00Oh my Gosh.

Well, when I designed it 14 years ago, I even gave up the wish for an automatic dishwasher because I couldn't sacrifice the space needed for a cabinet. Now to think of having a dishwasher AND a whole, big pantry just one step out of the kitchen proper . . . wa-hoo!!Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-13355137374034560662010-06-18T11:51:38.408-05:002010-06-18T11:51:38.408-05:00I say, do that happy dance!

Only problem is that it's not close to my kitchen. When I actually have my walk-in pantry right off my new kitchen, I'll probably gain lots of weight because I'll no longer have to walk that distance 1,674 times each day!<br /><br />Hey, Erin - I can't quite imagine cosmos 9' high but have no doubt you could grow them! <br /><br />Hi, Fiona - Yupper, the more we get done on the pantry, the easier I can envision just what it's going to look like!<br /><br />Hi, Alison - Thanks so much for commenting! You'd be surprised at all the places I've kept kitchen/food supplies over the years for lack of a pantry (and always too small kitchens!). Oh, to be able to have my mixer, griddle, ice cream maker, sprouter, bread bowl, roaster, etc. right there on a handy shelf rather than under the bed and other totally inconvenient places!Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-327711735632100982010-06-18T09:48:26.546-05:002010-06-18T09:48:26.546-05:00Almost sounds like New England weather!

Starting today we're back on "warm."<br /><br />I'm completely jealous of your pantry! The house I grew up in had one, and it was such an adjustment when I moved out and had to adjust to kitchens where you kept all your food in the cabinets over the counters!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11973984089001877006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-78672439723979781382010-06-18T09:12:32.095-05:002010-06-18T09:12:32.095-05:00Those poppies are so lovely and cherrful!

I planted these cosmos last year that were supposed to be 4-5 ft high, they got 9 ft high and reseeded themselves all over my yard! They shoot up like tree trunks in the lawn and have to get mowed over, I left a few of them along the fenceline but they are crazy!Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06916896512933101955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-3829926437603164112010-06-18T08:12:36.572-05:002010-06-18T08:12:36.572-05:00The flowers look fabulous Mama Pea!
