SHALLOW BUILT-IN PANTRY SHELVES WITH GUARDRAILS make good use of th is space alongside the stair between the lower level and the kitchen.

WHY HIDE DISHES IN CABINETS WHEN YOU can show them off? This eclectic collection is a centerpiece at a major intersection between kitchen,diningroom, and living room. The refinished doors were salvaged from an old house and fitted with simple inset ring pulls and no latches.

THIS HISTORIC WALK -IN PANTRY IN A large farmhouse in Vermont is an example of how handsome and functional a dish pantry can be. Basecabinets are fitted with both closed shelving for larger pieces and drawers for silverware and linens. Shelves are supported on cleats and corner posts.

NARROW, ADJUSTABLE SHELVES, WHICH OFFER easily accessed storage, line a small walk-in pantry, also home to the microwave. A pocket door is a space-saving choice in this tight corner.

ANGLED STEEL BRACKETS ATTACHED TO THE SIDES of this mobile island hold baking sheets, which then act as shelves that hold smaller flat items. During a major baking session the cart can be turned into a cooling rack as well.

SHELVES CAN BE DESIGNED FOR SPECIFIC TASKS, such as storing a collection of much -loved and often-used rolling pins as shown here. The back lip of each chan neled shelf allows easy attachment and th e front lip holds in the rolling pin.

RATHER THAN FITTING THIS SPACE NEXT TO A WINDOW with a closed cabinet, the architect designed short-span glass shelves, which allow light to bounce around and highlight decorative dishware. Glass is supported on stainless posts made in a local metal shop and set into angled solid-maple brackets, which in turn are affixed to mapleplywood backsplash panels.

EVERYDAY DISHES AND ART CERAMICS PROVIDE a visual focus in this nicely proportioned fixed shelving, which separates a large dining living space from the kitchen.

WIDE SHELVES that are spaced close together make the ideal storage system for linens,These shelves pullout to make it easier to put away table cloths and placemats, which are too floppy and large to slide easily into fixed shelves .

THE FIXED, BULLNOSED SHELVES IN THIS WALK-IN PANTRY are supported by cleats on beadboard paneling, and they've been spaced to accommodate items ofvarying heights. It's easier to scan the pantry qu ickly when shelves are narrow. A ribbed-glass door blurs contents (good for those messy days).

THIS ISLAND IS HOME TO A GRID OF FIXED SHELVES of naturally finished solid maple set in a creamcolored stained case. It provides ideal storage for dishes, which can be quickly grabbed and plated at mealtime.

ANY CHANGE IN THE PLANE OF A SURFACE can be an opportunity for storage. Here, a granite countertop steps up an inch to store everyday dishes, and the wood countertop provides both a protective roof and an informal space to eat.

TO GIVE THE EFFECT OFA FREESTANDING HUTCH, a built-in base cabinet is topped with an archtopped, face-frame cabinet case with fixed shelves. The inside back of the case is finished with beadboard paneling for a traditional look.

THESE UPPER cabinets are designed as open shelves, with decorative v-groove-board backs. Cases are faceframe and shelves are solid wood; the top shelf on the left has an edge band. The West-coast cabinetmaker used local woods for much of the cabinets, includ ing alder, spalted maple, elm , and cherry-,

THIS THICK PRECAST SHELF, tintedgreen,fills aniche between cabinets to make a handy shelf. Undercabinet lighting spotlights a potted plant, but any decorative object would look good.
