How To Set Up A Pantry Closet Now that it’s fall and that “nesting” feeling is starting to sink in, I thought I would show you how I created and organized my kitchen pantry. You know that feeling – getting everything ready so that you are all comfy and cozy all winter long. It is kind of like a squirrel gathering as many nuts as he can and safely storing them so he doesn’t go hungry over the winter. He doesn’t have a pantry -just a safe hiding place for his stash. This is my mudroom – it is right off my kitchen and it is where my pantry is located. When we first moved into this house, the double doors you see in the photo used to be half this wide – it used to be a single door coat closet. The house we lived in previously had a walk-in pantry – it was an entire room. We made a coat and shoe wall with hooks and shelves out in the garage. The double doors allow you to see everything in one full swoop when you open them. I like being able to see everything at a glance, but it did take some work. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
Ask Anna...: How to Paint a Perfect Line Many of you may have already read my post on how to paint a perfect line. I wrote this post ages ago but I still get lots of emails asking me to explain the steps more clearly. I’ve been wanting to put together a video tutorial for you but I hadn’t been planning on painting any stripes, until my recent bathroom makeover. I hope this short video helps explain {more clearly} the steps for painting perfect lines, but as always, please feel free to email me if you are still confused. Here’s the finished product! Kitchen Cabinets with DIY Drawers Some of you may have seen my sneak peek of what I have been up to last week. Seriously, this project took me forever to do. Day one consist of me going to bake some cuppy cakes and couldn't find the pan that I wanted and a glass mixing bowl sliding out of my bottom cabinet landing on the tip of my little piggy. Soooooooooo when I get there I realize that these darn drawers are $63-$65 EACH!!!!!!!!!!! No way. I got home and didn't have any energy to even begin. I love this man guys. Day two I got down to business. I started by making my drawers. 11 in all. 2) 13"by22"by4" 4) 13"by22"by3" 2) 11 1/2"by22"by4" 3)11 1/2"by22"by3" I made them by using a basic drawer design. 4 sides and a bottom. I decided it would be the easiest thing to make a housing or frame for my drawers and just screw the housing into the cabinets already assembled. This is what they look like. This is what they look like installed. Add the drawer hardware to each drawer and the housing before installing the housing.

Now that we’ve moved to a smaller home, that is lacking in the storage department, we have been searching far and wide for ways to hide all of our stuff. Every little space counts, right?

How to Upgrade your Builder Grade Mirror - Frame it! I love framed mirrors in the bathroom but I really don't like the idea of ripping out a large builder mirror to replace it with a smaller framed one. Not only is it hurting the environment, it hurts my pocket book. So at our first house we framed our builder grade mirror with some cheap MDF molding and ever since, we have been hooked on this cheap, but with a huge impact, solution. I saw on Our Suburban Cottage, over a year ago, an amazing mirror that she created in her bathroom. Using her design, my husband was able to create this stunning addition to our master bathroom's mini-reno. I fully intend to redo everything out of this bathroom when time and money permits; but for now we had to do cosmetic changes that have made this bathroom livable for a few years. We did two bathrooms with this type of frame. Before (when we bought the house): After (after some minor and inexpensive changes): Method: Paint all the trim both back and front. Isn't it absolutely AMAZING!?!? What do you think?
The Boy’s Dresser I began this transition from baby room to big boy space several months ago, but I hit a few road blocks along the way. One of the challenges was finding a proper dresser for my little guy ~ one that provided plenty of storage, complemented the style of his room, and was the proper scale for the wall where it sits. For months, I’ve had my eye on the IKEA Hemnes dresser in white. I delayed purchasing it because it’s a two hour round trip to the closest IKEA, and it’s $300 buckaroos, plus California state tax, plus assembly. Grrrr. So when I spied a listing for an Hemnes dresser on Craiglist last week for sale by a couple in my hometown for half the retail price, I scooped it up. So I painted it. Before: After: Perfect ! Thanks to the kind folks at True Value, I picked up a few new supplies for this paint job. One of the reasons I looooooove Zinsser’s ‘Cover Stain’ is that it clings to so many surfaces without sanding and dries in an hour. Here’s his old maple wood dresser.
Fancy Fabric Embellishments: Stuffed Yo-yos for Pinning or Wearing - Quilting Daily - Blogs I have quite a stash of hand-dyed silk ribbon, beads, buttons, and trims that I could use to embellish a quilt. The trouble is, aside from my small fabric collages, I haven't been making embellished quilts recently. Then I remembered Michelle Muska's Embellished Stuffed Yo-yos from the first season of "Quilting Arts TV." She makes theses gems in a variety of sizes: to embellish fiber art and accessories or as pincushions. Michelle makes the yoyos out of scraps of cotton, velvet, or silk. Embellished Stuffed Yo-yosBy Michelle Muska Directions: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. If you can bear it, stick pins and needles into your new pincushion. I'm so glad I have all 13 seasons of "QATV." P.S.
DIY Under Cabinet Lazy Susan {Rotating Organizer Stand Like many, I find the storage space I do have quickly fills up; no matter how much I seem to have, I always seem to never have enough. In an effort to maximize the storage space underneath my little guys bath vanity, I put together this simple lazy susan using just a couple purchased supplies and few items around the house. I love the fact that the double tier fills the open space in the tall base cabinets which is usually left unused. The finished project actually turned out cuter than expected and can be used for a multitude of purposes {such as a rotating dessert tray or condiment stand} I almost feel bad putting it underneath the sink. Due to the fact that the stand was going to be placed inside a cabinet, I wanted it to easily rotate so the items in the back could be within a spin away. The feet were attached with Gorilla Glue Epoxy. For the actual stand I used two inexpensive wooden platters {purchased from the dollar store} and a metal candle stick. Enjoy!
