A historic home lacking kitchen storage received a full revamp of its pantry and cabinets with custom storage systems designed to fit their unique needs.

The Setting

Historic homes are charming but often lack storage. Struggling with this issue, the homeowners contacted ShelfGenie’s custom storage team. Designer Julie Blumetti visited to explore ways to optimize the kitchen’s functionality within the space.

The Problem

This home has a tall, deep, and narrow pantry, and the homeowners were struggling to make the most of it. The kitchen cabinets were overflowing, and these homeowners needed assistance organizing their pots and pans to create a more enjoyable cooking space.

ShelfGenie’s solutions enable homeowners to access the full depth of their storage areas, allowing the team to design systems that maximize every inch of space effectively.

The Solution

ShelfGenie’s custom glide-out solutions were tailored to fit the unique storage spaces of this historic home. With full-extension glide-outs holding up to 100 pounds, the homeowners now have easy access to their pantry. Details like sloped shelves for paper towels and custom base cabinets for pots, pans, and vertical storage maximize space. The upper cabinetry features a custom spice tower. ShelfGenie makes the most of every storage space, even in historic homes.
