Open shelving, accented with classic corbel detailing, provides the perfect place to store vases used for arranging fresh flowers from the garden. It also stores neatly organized pantry canisters and jars of homemade jam from the orchard. Ample shallow-depth cabinets keep canned and boxed goods within easy reach, while small appliances tuck neatly into cupboards beneath the countertop. Additional drawers are dedicated to storing the family’s assortment of water bottles, keeping everything organized and easy to find.
A tongue-and-groove backsplash adds subtle texture while offering an easy-to-clean surface, blending historical beauty with practicality. A secondary refrigerator and freezer provides extra cold storage, ensuring the space is well-equipped.
This butler’s pantry strikes a perfect balance between open and closed storage—hiding essentials such as dog food and the step ladder, while keeping aprons and the family grocery list close at hand. With equal measures of utility and charm, it’s a seamless, enchanting extension of the English Cottage kitchen and home life.
