<h2>How to design a lazy susan pantry cabinet.</h2> <p> Our pantry cabinet design begun when my wife and I ultimately got sick and tired with the problem of reaching to find items in the back of our kitchen pantry storage unit.<br /><br />It had 5 shelves from ceiling to floor and was so deep. You could store a lot of stuff in there, but you couldn't get to over half of it with out pulling a bunch of stuff off of the shelves.<br /><br />I researched the available solutions at the local hardware stores and was appalled at the wasted spaces they left in the pantry. So I made a pantry design for a 6 shelf Lazy Susan with corresponding back shelves that utilized all the space and wasted very little. This is a great kitchen do it yourself project.<br /><br />The pantry cabinet is 76 inches high, 23" deep, 27" wide at the back and 41" wide at the front. The pantry is large and can hold a lot of storage items.<br /><br />We determined to make a one half semi circle shelf with the pivot post at the front of the closet door. We wanted the Lazy Susan large and to pivot so that we could reach the back shelves of the pantry easily.<br /><br />We needed to mount the lazy susan at the front of pantry entrance so that it would clear the closet door as it swung around. Once this point was found we mounted a 5/8 inch pillow block bearing to the top inside of the pantry door and hung a plum bob from it to the point marked at the front center of the closet door.<br /><br />You need to make a poster board template of the closet floor of all the measurements and drawings. Each shelf has a different size so make sure you know the largest and smallest size. You should be able to come up with one size that will work for all shelves. The shelves can then be cut to the smallest size and they should fit any location.<br /><br />My wife, my sons and I decided to paint the inside of the pantry a white color so that it would be bright and easy to find items on the back shelves and the lazy susan shelves. We wanted to used all oak plywood panels and stain them a natural oak color. <p style="margin-bottom: 0; margin-top:5pt"> <font face="Arial" style="font-size: 10pt">Article Source: <a href="http://www.ArticlesMaker.com">ArticlesMaker.com</a></font></p> <h3>About the Author</h3> Do you have a big kitchen pantry cabinet that you store dry goods in but can never find what you need?
