As a gourmet cook, I am very serious about not only the ingredients I use in the kitchen, but also how my kitchen and pantry are configured to work together in harmony.   I have very specific needs and several pieces of equipment that take up a lot of space that I do not like to see on my counter. Being at my wits-end and frustrated with my current pantry configuration, my interior designer recommended calling Mountain Sky Closets to design and install a new pantry. I was hesitant at first and thought that they would have limited knowledge of pantries and would just recommend a ‘cookie cutter’ style design. What I found was an open-minded designer who had a tremendous working knowledge of pantries and was willing to think outside the box to give me what I needed. Slide out baskets for items like confectionary sugar, bags of nuts and baking ingredients along with adjustable shelves, a wine cooler, bulk item storage, areas dedicated to my large kitchen appliances and corner shelving are just a few of the features that we were able to incorporate into the pantry. The other thing that really impressed me was how well they cleaned up after themselves, how they wore slippers inside my house and not work boots, and how they recycled the cardboard that the product came in. They even went as far to donate the parts and pieces they could salvage from my old pantry. That really meant a lot to me.
