Would kill for a walk-in pantry, I wanted to add that room on when we built, but that was a NO change to side walls.

How many cabinets less are there, and are they deeper and wider, add up your square feet on your current cabinets, then go to the model you like and get that square feet. You might be surprised on how close or larger the cabinets are.

Our patio villa, had more cabinet square feet, that our designer, that had more cabinets. The designer cabinets while more, were not as deep.

With the addition of walk-in, you keep everything you need in the cabinets, stock from pantry when needed. No need to go to the pantry while cooking.
