This pantry buffet cost me $5,500 to build— but hiring it out would’ve been over $15,000, plus all the trades I’d need: HVAC, drywall, paint, and custom cabinet install. Instead, I planned the layout, ordered RTA cabinets, assembled and installed them myself, stained the countertop, and added shelves. Yes, it was work. Yes, it took me several days. Yes, I’d do it again! Want to learn how to design and build something like this yourself?
