When Mike's parents were visiting, his mom & I went to a barn sale around the corner from our house. We didn't get anything major- just a fruit bowl for me, some candles for her.
BUT they had the most amazing butler's pantry for sale!
It was originally a U-shaped butler's pantry. The cabinetry on the left went down one wall. The drawers in the right photo went in the middle under a window, and the glass-door section behind the drawers sat on top of the cabinetry in the far back (and was the right wall of cabinets). It was a little confusing because the top glass-doors in the right photo are bigger than the bottom cabinetry because there was a dead space in the bottom corner.
We measured (like 5X) and poured over our floor plans to ensure that we can make it work. We'll be putting them along a single wall- with the help of our contractor. It's long- like 11.5 feet. With some slight modifications to the plans, it should be perfect!
We negotiated through the week, and made arrangements to pick it up on Saturday.
It's slightly less exciting that I don't have more great photos of it...
The doors & shelves were removed to ensure their safety during the move. But, it's nice & safe in storage for now.
I think we saved a bundle when I look at how much it would have been to get new reproduction cabinetry... and I love these so much more!
