From kitchens to dining rooms to outdoor living spaces, so much of it revolves around the time we enjoy food with family and friends. But one food-related space often gets overlooked: the pantry. Come along as CROSS shows off a beautiful scullery and prep-pantry design-build that’s a vibrant mid-century space crafted with both functionality and family life in mind.

What began as an overwhelming DIY evolved into a seamless, high-performing space through the thoughtful collaboration with CROSS’ design-build teams. Our designers carefully considered every detail, from layout to finishes, to maximize beauty and utility.
The reimagined layout expanded the former utility room into a full working back pantry, creating intentional flow between prep, storage, and laundry zones. A standout tile accent wall from Mod Walls and durable TileBar flooring bring texture and energy, while bold cabinet colors like “House Plant” by Sherwin-Williams, paired with accents in “Marigold,” “Thermal Spring,” “EbbTide,” and “Raucous Orange,” reflect a playful mid-century palette.
To make the most of a narrow footprint, a custom pullout table was designed to provide additional countertop space, perfect for prep or serving, since a full island wasn’t possible. The space also features a built-in workstation designed for kids to do homework, create, or simply connect, which is proof that smart design can be both functional and personal.
CROSS’ build team brought the vision to life with precision and craftsmanship. Every shelf, panel, and piece of hardware was installed with long-term durability and high-end finish in mind. Warmth was added through the Minwax “HoneyMeade” stain, which beautifully anchors the cabinetry’s bold hues.
Even the laundry area—once hidden and underused—was reimagined as a fully integrated part of the design, complete with the same level of detail and intentionality. A Putnam rolling ladder adds charm and functionality, offering easy access to upper cabinets.
Together, smart storage, playful color, and layered textures make this scullery, laundry, and workstation shine.
