We did this with a hall closet between our kitchen and bathroom. It worked well until my husband took over grocery shopping. I had things organized and now stuff just gets shoved in willy nilly. It still works well enough but I’m no longer responsible and seldom know exactly what we have.

We did this with our coat closet to make an appliance pantry. Toaster, Ninja blender with its million attachments, InstantPot, Fry Daddy, etc. all go in that pantry. I also keep seasonal items like Christmas cookie cutters in there too. The closet is right off the kitchen so it's convenient and it keeps them off the counter and island!
For the coats, my husband bought 2 solid wood doors and attached them to each other and then built a box the width of the doors to make an attached seat. He made cubbies under the seat by adding wood separators. I put trays in the cubbies for shoes and boots. He added a shelf to the top of the doors and we added coat hooks to hang coats. This piece is to the right at our back door entry.
