    The pantry doors that were here when we moved were French type doors that someone had dabbed a frosted glass effect on, leaving drips and missed spots. My husband decided to replace them with louvered doors. Now they not only look better, but there is air circulation and they are much easier to keep clean!

    I love louvered doors, I love the glass ones too but it does look better with the new doors. Do the center doors slide or swing out, that is an interesting arrangement.
    I am jealous of large pantries. Mine is a converted coat closet

    Toni, the doors slide, and the handles are built-in "stops" so they don't slide too far.
    Barb, when I get my pantry cleaned and rearranged, I'll post a picture of the inside. (But don't hold your breath--I'm not very organized!).

    The new look is much better. :smt041 Sleek and clean and, as you said, you now have air circulation. Perfect.

    Wish I had a pantry.
