San & Jov - Whattttt! They put up pantries instead of extending the countertop? that seems like it would be a really expensive mistake
Was there supposed to be 2 pantry doors, and they put up 4? or were there not supposed to be any pantries?
Anyways, I obviously love your kitchen! (I'm a little biased). I do like the pantries, but I see what you're saying about counter space. It looks like you have the exact same amount of counter space as us, which is a little tight. But if you have extra storage space, maybe it will be just enough? We recently got a Kitchen Aid Mixer as a gift and we were hoping to leave out on the counter, but we have too many other things out, so we store it in the pantry, and it pretty much takes up an entire shelf, and our cupboards are exploding a bit right now, especially after a trip to Costco lol... But if we had a double pantry, I think we would be fine.
Anyways, good luck, it looks like your house is almost done!
