The main difference is size: a butler's pantry is much larger than a typical walk-in pantry. They are both primarily used for storage, however. Traditional butlers’ pantries also had private food prep and cleanup areas—complete with a sink, microwave, refrigerator, wine fridge, and countertop prep space. But, many newer walk-in pantries include the same items that make up a butler’s pantry.

A bathroom cabinet is a storage unit typically mounted on the wall or set on the floor to store toiletries, towels, and other essentials. On the other hand, a bathroom vanity includes a sink and a countertop, often with integrated storage beneath. 

The vanity serves both functional and aesthetic purposes, combining a sink area with storage, whereas a cabinet is purely for storage. Remember, vanities are central bathroom fixtures, while cabinets can be additional storage solutions.

No. Drywall anchors aren’t a good choice for hanging a cabinet because the opening and closing of the cabinet door can cause things to shift, the weight of a mirror is more than most drywall anchors can accommodate, and adding the weight of items stored in the cabinet will make this an even more precarious option. Using the correct mounting bracket for the cabinet you choose is the best way to hang a medicine cabinet.

Liquid sandpaper is a solvent used to soften existing layers of paint and make them porous enough that you can effectively apply a new coat of paint. You rub the liquid sandpaper on, wait for it to work, and wipe it off—no literal sanding is involved. Liquid sandpaper can save time and is helpful if parts of the cabinet are hard to reach with standard sandpaper. However, like paint stripper, liquid sandpaper creates dangerous fumes and must be used with care indoors. And unlike sanding, it can’t fix any scratches or dings in your cabinets.
