9. Walk-In Whimsy
Designer Michele Merz of MMI Design gave a savvy makeover to her small walk-in pantry when she updated her own Houston kitchen. She removed the pantry’s solid door and replaced it with a white oak door with an antique mirror on the exterior and a more budget-friendly standard mirror on the inside. She then lined the interior walls of the pantry with inexpensive white subway tiles with charcoal gray grout. The paper towel holder was existing, but Merz added extra hooks for aprons and dog leashes. Airtight containers purchased online help maximize space. Since the existing shelves were in bad shape, she added well-built shelves with a green paint (Fraser Fir by Benjamin Moore) to expand the storage capacity. An all-brass midcentury-style sconce completes the pantry makeover.
