My pantry door is rather imposing, considering that, proportionally speaking, my kitchen is not all that large. Worse, the layout of the kitchen closes me off from my guests. But my kitchen comes with the rest of my 'dream home.' This reminds me that even my 'perfect house' isn't perfect. Accept it and get creative! In this case, my pantry door & utility closet form an L that opens to my fridge, leaving no room for my island project. Changing my pantry door to an accordion to make an attempt!
