ORC Pantry Makeover- Week 8: Final Reveal of my Dream Vintage Cottage Pantry Makeover
The big reveal is finally here and I still can’t believe that we pulled this off in time! This space encompasses ME possibly more than any other room I’ve ever designed. In the midst of a challenging personal week, when I could’ve easily thrown in the towel, I threw all my emotion and energy into this space, and I think you can see that in every corner and detail. Not to mention, for the second time I failed to realize we were leaving on vacation in the middle of the final reveal week, cutting my time short (also did this with my playroom makeover on my first round in 2020!). Despite all that, we have a finished space that I am so proud of!
ORC Pantry Makeover- Week 5: The Great Cabinet Color Debate!
It’s Week 5 and time to finally settle on a cabinet color! I have been going back and forth with this decision from the beginning but cabinets are going in next week and must be painted so I have to make the final call! My original inspo for this space had both dark and moody paint colors as well as these bright and fun, green and yellow colors. I ultimately settled on the brighter color scheme since I have so much vintage and retro dishware to display and I feel like it will flow better with my collections overall. Also it just makes me so happy to look at and I think that’s important!
ORC Pantry Makeover- Week 4: Sink Updates, Rearranging, + More!
I can’t believe we are officially halfway there in this year’s One Room Challenge! I am definitely feeling more behind than usual (which is saying A LOT) and it’s going to be a serious race to the finish line this year! Even though I do feel like I’m crawling along, we did accomplish a lot this week! The space is a MESS right now but for good reason- read along below for all the updates!
ORC Pantry Makeover- Week 3: My Perfect Facebook Marketplace Find + Cabinet Layout
This week I finalized and ordered all the cabinets for the back wall of the pantry which will house the bulk of the storage for the space. I was able to get ALL the cabinets (uppers and lowers) for over 12 ft of space for under $1,700! This was a big win for me if you know how expensive cabinets can be and I was still able to get exactly what I wanted. This was mostly made possible by another lucky Facebook marketplace find of these amazing antique glass front cabinets! I was able to get 4 for $175 each and they just happen to be the exact size I need to go all the way to the ceiling on the top half of the wall. They have the most beautiful paned glass fronts and even little drawers at the bottom of each! I couldn’t believe they fit the exact size I needed not only height-wise, but also are a standard width so I could get lower cabinets to match. These will all be stripped and refinished/repainted and new hardware added.
Easy Pantry Pizzas
I wanted to share an easy and favorite recipe that you can easily make using whatever leftovers you may have in your fridge and pantry! There are a couple of options for the crust. I used Trader Joe’s pre-made flatbread pizza crust (available in the bread section). However, Trader Joe’s also has great pizza dough, but it will require an extra step when preparing these pizzas. If you don’t have pizza dough available, you can use any kind of French bread, baguette, flatbread, or naan that you have!
