Kitchen Doings

Wow....that last post was a bummer huh?

 

I'm happy to report that things have turned around for us.

We bought and moved into our new home a week and a half ago.

Not "new", just new to us, the home was built in 1984.

 

I can't stop smiling.

I keep walking around, turning on lights in different rooms,

turning them off and moving on to the next room.

This house feels like home.

 

I wanted to share some pictures with you of the house

but since the kitchen is the only room that is almost done,

I'm just going to post pics of that.

 

The kitchen is my favorite room in this house.

 

I love all the dark wood.

Before we bought this house,

I scoured Pinterest looking at kitchens with white cabinets.

I was pretty sure that's what I wanted.

And then I saw this house and knew I was home.

 

It looks like such a tiny kitchen,

but I have more storage in here than I know what to do with.

 

This is my favorite thing about the kitchen:

 

The Pantry!

 

 

 

HOLY SMOKES!

It's huge.

 

Since I don't have a ton of cabinets,

I keep all my baking/serving dishes in here.

 

The drawers are really handy.

I use them for bread, snacks, paper plates, baking supplies, etc.

 

I also took some time to get my spices more organized.

 

Here's what they looked like before:

I had them in three different places

which made no sense.

 

Now they are here, next to the stove:

 

I used 4oz baby food jars,

spray painted the lids with

Rustoleum's Oiled Bronze

and attached labels.

Now they are all in one place.

 

Aren't they cute?

 

 

And can you see the drawer liners?

 

I used clear shelf liner from Target,

and I found some pretty gift wrap and laid it under the

shelf liner.

 

 

 

 

I love all the organizers in here.

 

 

 

I think that's about all I have to show you for today.

As I get more rooms completed,

I'll show you those too.

 

Thanks for all the kind words regarding

my last post.

 

Rest Assured, all is well.
