Pantry Makeover

-
We are back from our weekend getaway with our friends, it was a beautiful weekend even though it was surprisingly chilly.. Felt less like summer and more like autumn.. autumn? More about that in another post. 

Today I'm going to show you our pantry makeover..


 It started out dingy with sagging shelves and an overall mess..


We started by removing all the existing shelves..

sanding and priming..


and then painted yellow :)


white wire shelves, drawers and a rack on the side.. Home Depot can cut the shelves to any size you like.


I can not believe the amount of space I have! I love the addition of drawers..


and the rack is my favorite.

    ahhh a nice clean bright pantry. Love it. We don't have a pantry closet, but a pantry cabinet. Since I am short I can never see anything in the top bit and it ends up turning into chaos in no time. sigh. One day! Shelves!

    You guys are always busy! Your house is terrific. I love the pantry makeover. The wall color is very bright and cheerful. I've been thinking about putting some pull-out drawers in my pantry too, I feel even more inspired now.

    Love it! I think it looks great :)

    I just did a minor pantry tweak (because I bought a spice rack) and it is so nice to be able to find things when I need them!

    Wow it looks so great! Such an awesome idea, I would definitely be motivated to keep my pantry ultra organized if it looked that pretty ;)

    Awesome job. I like that pop of yellow. The wire rack makes it look fresh, clean, and modern.

    That looks great, I'm very envious although build a pantry is on the to-do list I've drawn up for my husband (he doesn't know I've written him a to do list!)

    I'm so jealous of this great space you have! I don't have a pantry, but if I did, I'd want a yellow one! This looks great!

Kitchen and Family Room: New Flooring

When the wall between our family room and kitchen see details here came down we had to deal with two different flooring, old carpet and newish laminate. The plan was to find the same laminate.. we found the box in the basement, how hard could it be? Harder than we thought.. that particular one had been discontinued.. and finding something similar was not an easy task..  Finding a flooring that was kind of close but not close enough would seem like a mistake.. so we decided to go different, this way it would seem like an intentional design choice.. I had always wanted a chocolaty dark floor.. The next thing to take into consideration was the transition between the two floors.. generally what is used it a T- Moulding, that strip you see in the above picture connecting the two floors together. Not the prettiest option. Pinterest to the rescue..  Adding tile to the mix would help to blend the two different brown together and there would be no awkward bump in the floori

D's Amazing Race Party

Last weekend our eldest turned 9.. and we threw him an amazing race birthday party! As with all the boys other parties.. I bought a plain white cake from Wegmans and let D decorate it himself. We had a total of nine kids.. they picked bandanna's out of a bag to create 3 teams. First Task Not all the kids knew each other.. they were too amped up with the idea of winning that they couldn't manage to calm down and read the clue.. so we had to really guide them through it.. they made mistakes and we let it go.. it seemed a tad chaotic..  Second Task I had 33 little medicine cups filled with M&M's and Goldfish crackers.. 6 of them had stickers on the bottom. The first two teams found the sticker in the first try... what are the odds!? And the third team had to eat a lot of snacks before they finally found their sticker. Third Task I bought 48 piece puzzles from the Dollar Tree. The boys took their time making
