New House, New Kitchen

One of Sydney's favorite features is the 9x8-foot walk-in pantry that keeps the main kitchen virtually clutter-free. "It holds all the staples, which eliminated the need for cabinets in the kitchen," Molly says.

The pantry also acts as a handy breakfast zone, with the coffeemaker, toaster, and other supplies stored there. "Because the kitchen is so visible from the other rooms, we need the pantry to hide all those things you don't want out all the time," Molly adds. French doors with mirrored panes rather than glass conceal the pantry's contents while adding a dash of sparkle to the room. On the other side of the refrigerator is a storage cupboard with identical mirrored French doors.
