For the Love of {Pantries}

What do you dream about when you picture the perfect pantry to hold your food items?

I start out with the door--I love the idea of a smoky glass door.  Something smalltowncandyshoppe about it, yet it also doesn't show the glaring colors or prints of chip packages :).

So, that would be for the "walk-in" pantry that has been the builder norm for the last couple of years.  What I've been noticing, and I think is better is food storage included in cupboards, right where you need it while cooking.  Maybe this is part of my disdain for and mental move away from the McMansions of the early 2000's.

Here's some of the new look that I like:
