Chief Sub-Editor and Writer, Houzz Australia and New Zealand. I love design and architecture that is thoughtful, sophisticated and champions an element of the unexpected. Before graduating with a Bachelor of Arts at UNSW and becoming a journalist, I studied interior architecture. For over a decade I have interviewed inspiring creative minds from around the world to write about design in its many different forms. Recently, I have also become an accidental gardener, to everyone's surprise.

Maybe they should be renamed the internal store room.
too me, a walk in pantry is a good idea.
not to do food prep in
but a place for storage, and easy access, so you can have all the can's bottles etc being kept in a cooler part of the house, out of the way of any sunshine
I would not want to do things in there, just a large pantry.
Totally agree with geeannie and carolyn!
Having said that, the kitchen in 12 is very beautiful!
