People need to stop hating on this pantry “second kitchen” I would love this especially for holidays and parties!

[@lifeisbeautiful9455]

I believe the people having a problem, maybe they can’t afford to have their dream home. Something may be going on in their life, where they can’t see that this is needed. I would love this one day. I’m over here looking for an apartment because my lease is up soon! I can’t wait for the day, when I can afford a home of my own. I’m tired of renting got darn it🤨😂 I keep trying to find a place with a French door bottom freezer. Because I hate the side by side refrigerator. I shop and food prep a lot and people can’t understand my need for a pull out freezer fridge and gas stove. Just like they can’t see the need for a second kitchen. 🤷🏽‍♀️ excuse me pantry lol. You only live once, be happy! I can’t share my dreams or thoughts with everyone because the negative self talk is real! Seeing this just motivates me. I’m single, doing this alone, so I know it’s going to take me a while, but God wants us to have an abundant life!

@@lifeisbeautiful9455 obviously people can do whatever they want...but having plenty of money to waste in useless rooms doesn’t mean you have class, taste or intelligence...most people appreciate efficient ideas from decorators, and not everyone is a fan of over the top wasteful trends, that’s not negativity, is just a difference in opinions. Some people find it tacky, others get in debt to emulate what they think is a sign of success.

[@TheAnnej73]

@@paulifaktor344 I'd like to know where Shea implied that anyone needs to get this pantry. She is literally just showing us what's in her home, which she didn't need to do. This pantry works for her and her family's needs. Is it necessary for all? No and she never says or implies that it is. One thing I will never understand about the internet is the need to be negative about someone else's joy. It's so weird.

[@dianewicks8934]

I love this pantry! It is exactly how I would do a butler's pantry if given the chance...but I would also add a small beverage cooler with varying temps for water, soda, wine, etc. Beautiful job!

[@kathleenaskew4713]

The dark bench top looks lovely and tying it into the main island was very clever. I would love to see a night time shot of how well the lighting works in this space too. The snack draw is genius.

[@simplysophie8837]

I love how you can incorporate different styles into one great space, and I think diversity helps it really become a home 🥰

[@rhephokrits]

In the Philippines we call that our 'dirty' kitchen which means it's the kitchen most used and can make a mess but not keep it a mess.

[@adamsonduenas8]

Yeah i can relate..I also live in Philippines too #TayoAyPilipino

[@MichelleaSefton]

That's exactly why we want to have one added in our build!

[@ManUntdForever]

I feel like the La Canche and La Cornue ranges are more status symbols than anything at this point. No shade, but I can't imagine having that big beautiful island and gorgeous range and opting to bake in the more cramped pantry where there's limited counter space and I have to wash dirty bowls and utensils by hand because the dishwasher's in the kitchen. Congrats on their success and their ability to build their dream home, but I think this video highlights that their designs are more for aesthetic than functionality. Who wants such a massive kitchen where the white carrara marble on the island and behind the range need to stay pristine, and have to literally build a closet where I can do most of my heavy cooking on a sturdy (and cramped) butcher block countertop that can handle the demands of regular cooking and baking? There are literally *four* ovens in that home and only one is used and another partially used.

[@MichelleaSefton]

you jealous or something! LOL I watched this because we are adding a butlers pantry to our new home, they are very practical, hence the come back they are making in our modern lives... reasons we have opted for one is, so we can hide all our everyday lives from visitors, yet still have a tidy beautiful kitchen on display.. kitchens are so open these days, no way could we keep it tidy on a 24/7 run kitchen... also gives us room to separate food items & appliances... like the idea for larger cooking with the more ovens... but I would be concerned about the butlers pantry getting over heated in such a tiny space needed in a butler's pantry!? Extra smallish stove would be handy though... like the idea of the microwave being in the butlers pantry too! Some really great ideas worth considering on this video... :-)

[@nickirios8647]

Beautiful pantry, nice size and very stylized. Mine would look a lot different. I would have it filled with all of the different canning I would do plus the fermenting, and I would definitely have a curing cabinet for doing my own homemade cured meats. To me a great pantry is something that’s just filled with homemade food. Don’t get me wrong. Yours looks very pretty and organized. It’s just so much different to what I would have.

Oh my gosh your pantry thought! Awesome! Keep up the fabulous work!

[@sarahozzankova1403]

I am having a hard time understanding why anyone would ever need not only an oversized stove with what seems like 6 burners and 2 ovens in the kitchen, but an extra 2 (!!) ovens in the pantry (plus microwave). And normalizing living like this just encourages the more is mooore mindset, which we all know is not ideal if we want to live sustainably (as a mindset but also quite literally as the extra appliances use electricity constantly even if off, plus of course the resources going into producing them and resources to deal with them once they become waste when you move to even bigger home with even bigger kitchen with more pantries and more new appliances) i wish you as a designer not only of your home but homes of others would encourage living more sustainably, especially because it seems you do have the means to do so for your own home, but also have the power to decide on materials and sustainable design processes for clients as well. I never ever comment on anything but this big and bigger mindset that architects and designers promote is really not something we should subscribe to

[@Mitchisinlove1]

I understand that people want a space like this if they have the means to build it, I just feel like it's important to acknowledge the sustainability aspect of it, especially for someone designing other people's homes. There is a uniquely American 'everything is bigger' which makes sense because there just is more space than in Europe for instance (where I have never seen a pantry this size) - but let's not make it seem like this is the standard or even should be the standard. Spaces like this are just unrealistic for 99% of people, even if they live in the US, and that's not necessarily a bad thing! I see the frustrated "that's another kitchen" comments and I feel like that's where those comments are coming from - lacking acknowledgement of the over the top consumption that such a pantry represents (that is so very American). It's a beautiful pantry for sure, and I don't think the McGees are wrong for using their hard work to build a dream house where they have everything they want, good for them! But there is definitely a broader discussion to be had about building sustainable and minimalistic homes.

[@MAGAMAN]

I'm going to assume you have never tried cooking a turkey, baking pies and making cookies all at the same time? If you can afford it and having room, extra ovens are a must for a large family who entertains on all the holidays. Trying to get everything cooked in only one over on holidays is a nightmare and you end up spending all your time in the kitchen instead of with family.

[@lifewithamiria1735]

not your business do you want to have all the stuff in the kitchen and let them be that means they can afford it and if you’re jealous just say so you don’t got a hate just because you don’t have all those nice stuff

[@mamadeebuildsahouse]

I think of a pantry (chef's kitchen) as a messy place for those special events. When you need extra space to cook and store food items. I love having a pantry in my house. I hope you could help me design my house. I love your decor style.

I totally understand your point but I think the small pantry kitchen is so you can have unsightly appliances set up on the counter at all times. Moving a heavy kitchen aid mixer for example can be a pain. If you love the uncluttered countertop look in the main kitchen then this pantry is the answer. A total luxury of course!

[@odb5369]

This is so gorgeous! Looking forward to one day having a walk-in pantry that hides everything else that typically makes your kitchen a disaster. Although, I thought in the kitchen video you mentioned that the walls were Swiss Coffee 75% and the cabinets were Creamy?

[@jonathanfoster4202]

I think it's rly practical for a house this size, and one that hosts a lot. You don't always want all your clutter and mess to be visible, especially when your main kitchen is in the same room as your living and dining. This gives a place where kitchen noises won't fill the home, and where dirty dishes can go when your guests arrive, and also for a hell of a lot of storage.

[@barbaracogiel3224]

@@jonathanfoster4202 so what's the point of having open plan

[@jonathanfoster4202]

@@barbaracogiel3224 Having the casual living be connected with the kitchen makes sense for hosting gatherings, so that everyone can be together and easily move around in that one social space. The main kitchen is still a great place for people to mill about, with those bar stools for seating, and the fridge is right there too for drinks and stuff. When you divide the casual spaces up into small rooms, it inhibits the natural flow of conversations and movement that happen when you have a number of people in your home.
