As coffee lovers, we really wanted a dry pantry where we can brew coffee at every morning. We also pulled the water pipes from the yard (for few hundred bucks) to have our water dispenser here and no regrets! Super convenient especially when guests are over.
Closed kitchen with top cabinets on one side and just a shelf on the other to make the space seem more spacious. Our countertop and backsplash are sintered stone for its heat resistance, so we can put hot pots and pans without worry.
