Real-Life Makeover: Southern-Style Kitchen

Shared via AddThis

I'm now convinced that i need to add more shelving to my kitchen pantry. I check my BHG emails just about everyday looking for great ideas. This pantry is very similar to the one I have in my kitchen. Maybe it needs more tweaking. Another project! I also found some great stacking shelves on the Minwax site. Looks like another busy winter ahead.

Weekend Project…Organize

Love this idea for organization. It’s cheap, my favorite thing. Free is the other. Love free!!!You can buy these at Lowes or your local hardware stores. They come with self stick adhesive pads on the back. Which makes it even quicker and easier. I just adore 15 minute projects with a beautiful functional outcome. I will post a few pics when I get mine done. Have a great Friday! Smile it’s the weekend and I have 2 days just for my family…yeah!

Weekend Project…The Kitchen Pantry

This is a mess. I hate it and it makes me nervous. They say in my family that I am OCD with cleanliness. I disagree.

I am absolutely overwhelmed when I see this. OCD. Of course so is the rest of the family they just don’t say it like I do or as well! I hate this pantry.

Well last weekend its time was up. It was getting an overhaul if it killed me. It did. But apparently I’m alive enough to type. And I am so very happy with the way it turned out. That’s how it goes in this old house one room and one day at a time.  I picked a beautiful very pale yellow for my walls, light and bright. Cheery I love cheery. I hate drab colors and I’m not partial to bright crayon colors either. I’m a country old fashioned girl.

The door is a work in progress. I can’t decide. Paint it or varnish and stain ? Have to think about that one.

From mass destruction, which the entire family was mad at me for to total organization and peace. That was the goal here organization and pretty. I had more comments during this phase then any. How do I find my….Where the heck is the….Mom what are you doing with this….I and my OCD self had to worry. Have I infected the entire household? I think.  

This made everything worth it. Everything has it’s place. I can easily find exactly what I need. No more guessing. But my temporary labels have to go. Sorry masking tape you do not cut it for me. I throw out so much garbage. Now the garbage man will hate me, and that’s OK!

Even my baking pans have an area no more piles…yes! I’m working on this.

Complete and I am thrilled. This old house is coming along rather nicely. And the work never stops. But I love it and my family does as well. Mission accomplished.
