Looking for help/suggestions in-wall dvd storage shelves

If the only problem you foresee in cutting into your pantry is the power outlet you are must be single or clueless, or both! Maybe while you're making home improvements you can convert the bathtub to a beer cooler, too!

Just giving you grief, my friend! Just giving you grief.

Have you checked there's no plumbing runs or HVAC in that space? My guess is that wall space is deep for a reason.

Take the shelves out and with a drywall saw, cut a really small hole from the inside, and look around. If you're pretty good with making drywall repairs, should be easy to patch up from the inside, and the white paint will be easy to match.

Like Tedd said, that area seems deep, so there must be something else there but its hard to tell in the picture. Is the thickness of that wall just a 2x4 with sheetrock on both sides?

They may have just added some additional scrap framing in there to make the outlet look more centered, and not right up against the corner.

I don't do electrical, but I have had alot recently done in my house and being an insurance adjuster I see gutted houses all the time. My guess is that it runs to the right, which appears to be the bedroom. That would be the easiest for them. Electrician will run horizontal through studs more so than to run each one down through the top. At least that is what I see.

If you get all that figured out, should be simple. I did something really close in my HT room, and it was pretty easy.

Why don't you cut a small hole on the inside of the pantry wall and take a look inside that wall? If you don't like what you see, it is just a small patch that will nobody but you would know is there.
