Pantry Tour
Published on October 21, 2016
We recently shared our new kitchen with you and now it is time to go on a little pantry tour. Our new pantry is probably my favorite room in the entire house. Yes, we have a room for our pantry. I cook, bake, and eat for a living so I need a big pantry. It is pretty much my office. The pantry is located right by the kitchen so I can access everything really easily.
Are you ready for a tour? Letโs step inside!
I designed the entire pantry around this wall.ย When I told our builder, Tom from The Fox Group, that I needed shelves to hold my KitchenAid collection, I think he thought I was crazy, but he made it happen. Tom is awesome like that. He took my โcrazyโ idea and made it better than ever!
My dream came true! I LOVE this wall! I get giddy every time I walk by our pantry. The colors are bright, fun, and cheery.
I have the following KitchenAid mixer colors: Crystal Blue, French Blue, Grape,ย Raspberry Ice, Tangerine, Green Apple, and Buttercup. I also keep my new Mini Red KitchenAid Mixer on the marble countertop.ย It is adorable and I like having it ready to go at all times.

The extra cabinet storage in the pantry is so nice. I keep all of our extra baking pans, mixing bowls, and utensils in the pantry. Everything has a place and I love being so organized.
I also keep our KitchenAidย toaster, blender, and extra knives on the countertop in the pantry so our kitchen isnโt cluttered. I make our toast right in the pantry!
The glass jars filled with colorful candy areย SO fun! Note, they are on the top shelf so the boys canโt reach them:) They are for decoration and for an occasional sweet fix.
I keep my every day spices in the kitchen, but all of the extras have a home in my pantry spice drawer.
We also have secret undercounter refrigerator and freezer drawers. Again, the extra storage is so nice!

I often get asked, do I use my mixers?ย We have over 200 cookie recipes on our blog. Of course, I use my mixers:) They all get a turn and sometimes we have a couple mixers going at the same time. I also like to โmix things upโ during the holidays. I will be using my orange mixer for Halloween soon!
The other side of our pantry is all open shelving with shiplap. Tom suggested the shiplap and I am so glad! Itโs a nice little detail to the open shelves. The paint color is Extra White by Sherwin-Williams, my favorite white.
I love being able to see everything. It makes me stay organized andย I can easily tell what we need from the store.
I keep my colorful dishes out in the open!
We are huge pasta fans, so I keep a big bin of DeLallo pasta on hand at all times.
And San Pellegrino is a must. Plus, the bottles are pretty:) The boys like to go โbowlingโ with them. Good thing I buy the plastic bottles:)
We are cereal fanatics so we have a shelf an entireย cereal shelf.
I also have two shelves devoted to my favorite chocolate. Again, notice how the chocolate is up high so the boys canโt reach. That is mommyโs stash:)
I love my bar cart from World Market. It is nice to have a place for odds and ends and I can wheel it into the kitchen when we are entertaining.
I also keep my aprons hanging in the pantry on a rustic chalkboard from Wayfair.
All you need is love and cookies. True story!
Right outside of our pantry, I have a little cookbook corner. This isnโt even half of my collectionโฆoops!

Thanks for taking a tour of our pantry! Who wants to come bake with me? ๐

Your new pantry is my fantasy! ย It looks bigger than my entire kitchen. ย Love your Kitchen Aids all lined up like little soldiers ready for (cookie) battle. ย Donโt feel bad about your collection of cookbooks. ย As someone who has literally a few thousand, those are just a drop in my bucket. ย Enjoy your wonderful new space!
Hi! I really like your recipes and have tried many and always enjoyed it. What I do not understand is why are you buying Italian bottled water? The ecological footprint is a disaster. There must be some American water that does not have to travel thousands of miles.
I am new to your site & loving it! Iโve especially loved touring your kitchen & pantry this morning ;). I see you have marble in the pantry & Ceasarstone in kitchen. I have gone back & forth on putting marble (my favorite) in my kitchen, but worry about the impracticality of spilled spaghetti sauce or lemon juice. How did you make your decisions on countertops?
I love it! Instead of mixers all lined up I would have to have all the sets of dishes. Hummm,mixers take up less space! I agree, it is very colorful and you have done a beautiful job of decorating. Love the doors too! Great job Maria!ย
Incredible, Maria! I would live in there. Who needs the rest of the houseโฆ
This is super dreamy! And OMG โ I spy my cookbook in your collection, lol!
xo

It tuned out so darling! I love the pantry door! I will come see it in person soon!
Wow. Just WOW! Lucky you!
This is the best pantry ever! ย Beautiful job Maria!!! ย xo
Thanks Jenny! Come see it in person SOON! Miss you! xo
Absolutely beautiful job, Maria and Josh! I donโt know how you get anything done โ Iโd just stand in there all day and smile. If you ever need anyone to just clean it, Iโll gladly come to Utah! ๐
You are welcome anytime!
Beautiful pantry! Can you tell me where you got the sliding door from? I am looking to do the same thing in my laundry room.
Thank you
Amazing!!! Iโm drooling over your mixers. Enjoy your great space!
I want to live in your pantry!
Itโs stunning!! Seriously. Wow. I was just wondering if the Stark White color without a contrast is just too much white in person. Like I love love love the White cabinet with the Wood shelf. That breaks up the white for me. We are remodeling too and Iโm just wondering about the all white look. Husband loves white.
It really is just stunning though. Best of luck with your new home!!
May I ask where the pink canister with the scalloped lid that you have in the cookbook corner is from? ย So cute! ย This pantry is beyond fabulous!
I wasnโt going to comment but I canโt help it. I think the fact that you have a โcollectionโ of mixers is just a tad ostentatious. Theyโre $200-$300 a pop. Most people canโt afford one. You have seven because you think they look pretty.
Hey Scott,
So I wasnโt going to comment because it seems like this was forever ago. But letโs assume for a second all 7 arenโt necessary. Do you own anything that other people canโt afford? Perhaps a vehicle thatโs more expensive that needed to get you from point a to point b? Or perhaps more than one pair of shoes?
I think itโs a personal choice what people invest their emotions and money into. Maria has 200 cookie recipes which to me says she takes great joy in her time in the kitchen, baking with her family and friends. Perhaps they have community baking parties where many people come over. Itโs hard to know since itโs her private life, but judging her for it publicly kind of seems cruel.
Plus, you left the message on her site, which I can only assume is to hurt her. I donโt know this just doesnโt sit well with me.
Hi Scott,
I wasnโt going to comment but I couldnโt help it. I think what people choose to spend their money on is their own business. The fact that Mariaโs business and hobby has turned into a means of living for her allows her to splurge on items that bring her joy and she happened to share that with us. Iโm sure that you also spend your money on things that also bring you joy that others who are less fortunate than you cannot afford. However, I doubt that you have shared those things in a public way so that judgemental people such as yourself could scrutinize you and leave messages that are meant to be hurtful to you. So next time, before you โcanโt helpโ but comment, try to put yourself in the other personโs shoes before you judge them publicly on their own forum.
Clean, simple storage lines, nicely emphasised by the bright white paint, must look lovely in the natural light from the window. Also, easy to replicate as itโs basically plain shelves and the colour and interest comes from whatโs on the shelves. I must admit Iโd want to add glass doors to at least some of the shelf sections, to protect certain goods from dust at the very least. Thanks for letting me look at your pantry.
I own only one KitchenAid Artisan mixer ๐ (itโs Almond Cream colour, so thatโs another colour for you to collect!) I recommend the KitchenAid glass mixing bowl that you can buy as an accessory. Itโs made life easier, or at least feel easier, because I can see all the contents all at once without having to peer over the top of the bowl, and can tell what state the mixture has got to if I happen to be some steps away.
Oh my goodness. Iโm so jealous of this amazing space. ย Itโs so amazing and bright. ย The idea of having extra freezer and fridge space in the drawers is so genious. ย
Gorgeous! Can I ask you what sheen of the SW Extra white you used?ย
I love it! Your collection of mixers is so neat. I would love to come bake cookies with you! ๐
Anytime:)
You guys your home is wonderful! I love it! You have decorated it top notch! I canโt believe I live right down the street from you. You have such good ideas, for everything.
I love your pantry, I was wonder the dimentions of the room.
Absolutely beautiful! I love looking at your kitchen & pantry pics. Gives me some inspiration! Thank you for sharing your home with us.
