I recently just painted my pantry door a splash of my favorite grey/blue.  Then I added a little white vinyl to bring some balance. Here it is:

Our

Here is what we have already done:

I am so excited at how we re-invented this no use wine shelf for more attractive open shelving. There is so much more to come!

ENJOY! 



Kitchen Baskets

What do you do with the space above your kitchen cabinets?  I have asked the same question!  How I wish my cabinets reached the ceiling. I feel there is so much space wasted that could be used for storage.  Well I came up with an idea that will heighten my cabinets and provide the eye with decorative storage!

Its amazing at how taller my cabinets look with the baskets!  It will look so much better once my cabinets are white . . but thats another project coming soon!

enjoy!

Now for the winner

of this weeks give-a-way!

Stay posted as there are more give-a-ways to come!

DIY: Kitchen Island Re-do

Since we bought our house my husband and I have dreamed about remodeling the kitchen . . it has been 3 years and we finally got started!  We decided to first do the island.  But before we go into the project that we worked so hard on last week let me show you some inspirations on what I want to turn my kitchen into:  (check out my pinterest for more . .)

Lets turn back the clock and see the kitchen that I despised so much . .

Honestly . . Terracotta Orange and Green laminate . . was that Ever in style?!? Well then I found countertop paint and went crazy painting for a quick and inexpensive fix.

Now is when we get into the exciting part . . we are attempting to paint all of our cabinets!  Just painting the island was a huge enough project . . but it will be so worth!  We are so excited for what is to come in the kitchen so stay tuned.  But take a look at how we transformed our island:

All we did was new trim work, paint, hardward, and a new walnut butcher block countertop with a midnight stain.  I just love it. . mostly because we added a little bar and about 1/3 more counter space! Here is the finished product.  My sister said it looked like a sleigh ride . . tell me what you think!?!

Here are some other views:

I hope you are inspired . . and a sigh of relief from me . . another fabulous project done!

Laundry Room Re-do

Remember this . . my inspiration board for my laundry room?!?

  It all started with the rug that I bought from Pottery Barn.  Well Here it comes. . . my Before and Afters:

{Pantry Organization}

I think I am just about done with my spring cleaning.  This week I chose to tackle my cluttered Pantry.  Take a look at the before and After's:

What a good feeling it is to have that done!  I got the organizing jars at ikea and placed a lot of my dry goods in them.  A Tip: for the things that need to be cooked I placed a piece of paper under the jar lid of the cooking directions. I got my baskets at Target.  I Painted the Back wall in coastal Jetty by Valspar found at Lowes.  Placed a 1.5 inch mdf trim on the front of my existing shelves to add room for the custom vinyl.  Had my vinyl printed by Janey Mac. I painted Masonite board with black board paint and used upholstery tacks to add detail.. I hung it on the back of my pantry door with extra hold wall tape. This new pantry kind of makes me excited to spend more time in the Kitchen.  We will see how long that lasts :-)

And Love. . .
