This large, open kitchen was achieved by removing a walk-in pantry, expanding and arching the doorway between the kitchen and dining room, and installing pantry cabinetry, the microwave, a beverage frig, wine cube, glass display cabinet, and a granite serving surface where the former pantry was located. What a bonus! Beautiful cabinets instead of a door, improved function and flow, and increased counter space as a result of REMOVING the pantry.
