r/DIY on Reddit: My wife wanted more space in the kitchen, so I built her a pantry!
August 16, 2023 - He 'held down the top shelf' as we call it on the cabinet on the right. Leaves a void for the vent. When doing this, is the vent no longer functioning? Surely that would cause some issues? I see a board covering the vent in the 5th picture. Edit: Nvm, saw OP's comment here: https://old.reddit.com/r/DIY/comments/15sq2o0/my_wife_wanted_more_space_in_the_kitchen...

Solve Your Pantry Storage Problems With This Affordable Stacked-Cabinet Diy - House Digest
November 16, 2025 - If you have the space for a pantry in the kitchen, the cost for this type of installation can be expensive. You'll likely spend at least $300 for a pantry, but that doesn't include labor for installation. If you need a more custom-built one, you'll be paying thousands. However, you can solve your pantry storage problems with a more affordable and stacked cabinet DIY project using unfinished upper cabinets and putting them on top of each other to make one large pantry cupboard.

r/HomeImprovement on Reddit: Best DIY budget cabinetry for kitchen ideas?
June 11, 2023 -

Soooo…. My DH & I were just beginning our remodel of our entire home… walls ripped out, cabinets chucked… the whole 9 and 10 yards.

Hubby is super skilled at anything craftsman-esque, but I am in charge of our finances. Long story very short- he had to take time off of his own business due to back injury- and one week later I became disabled with lupus & lymphoma and am not getting my ER nurse salary. 😦

Alllllll I know- is I need cabinets. Bad. Anyone have any ideas to toss in the pot for the simplest/affordable way to put something sturdy together? Don’t mind upcycling materials- I can generally find them on the marketplace!

Thanks so so much in advance!!!
