My sister in law had a blank 6 foot wall in her kitchen. She asked me to build her a cabinet similar to one she saw in a kitchen idea book. I built a 1 foot deep by 6 feet wide stud and drywall closet, then added a knotty pine tongue and groove interior, pine trim, black satin enameled pine shelving with a 1×2 router beaded edge. Next, a low voltage lighting system on a dimmer switch that really makes it “pop” at night. They will use this as a functional display of some decorative and oft used items in the kitchen. We were pleased with the results considering all of the materials were relatively reasonably priced and readily available at the local home center. One tip is I replaced the cheap looking bright brass hinges that came with the pre hung french door with oil rubbed bronze hinges which I think gave it a classier look. I used 3 coats wipe on poly on all stained surfaces.

That looks great! My pantry never stays clean enough to have glass doors though. I’m not sure I could get away with it.
I like the lighting and the colors. Everything looks great in there.

I love how you took a blank wall and turned it into something really practical. Great storage in very little space.
