The Small Stuff

The last two weeks I have been busy with party prepreations for a special 2 year old birthday this weekend. Although, I have had time for a few small "naptime" projects..

Spring Centerpiece with real painted eggs, bird cage found at RE awesome new store in the west bottoms

OBESSION! I love gum ball machines, this was a goodwill find for $6.99. A little paint and some sweet hearts and its perfect in my kitchen

Goodwill table + Chalk Board paint and some craft supplies = a great craft table for the kitchen

Lots of tea parties with this little princess!

Have a great week

Pantry Makeover!

My pantry has lots of space and I use every inch of it, but can become very unorganized quickly because I don't need to be as cautious due to the amount of space. Because of this I needed to decrapification and while I was at it, maybe a face lift... because that's what you do, right? Here is what I started with, forgot to take a pic with the shelves full but you can see the clutter on the top half.

Started out with a stencil on the backside of the shelving....that didn't last long, ANNOYING!

Every pantry needs a chandelier :) Scored this one at the re-store for $10, a little patience and lots of tape she got an awesome makeover.

Another restore find...$.50 old drawer. A little paint and a new handle and it now holds all my trays and place mats.

And the finished product.... stencil was annoying me so it got a plain back splash

My new chandelier in all its glory

 Metal locker baskets store my table clothes and dollar store baskets are labeled and hold a variety of food

 Ikea magazine organizers contain all our school work that I want to keep for each year, after the year is over I put everything in a box labeled for each kiddo. My pantry also stores A LOT of my decorating and craft stuff that I use frequently.

 All my crafting supplies, can not wait to get to IKEA this fall to get some pretty baskets instead of my recycled ones

Feels great to be organized!!
