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.

One Room Challenge 2023- Week 2: Wallpapers, Sinks, + More I’m Loving for the Pantry

This week I have been narrowing down selections for our pantry space and trying to build a general color scheme. As usual, I started with wallpaper to get inspired by the colors and prints! Not even sure exactly where we’ll be using this- whether on the walls, backsplash, or back of shelves, but definitely going to add some wallpaper accents somewhere! Check out some of my favorite picks so far below!

Holiday Home Tour 2022: Front Porch

The front porch this year for Christmas was one of my favorites - and we even enjoyed it with a white Christmas! For my front porch, I add a mismatched collection of extra trees I have thrifted over the years and place them in various planters and containers I keep out here year-round. This is an easy way to add a lot of trees to a porch, or any other outside space, without spending a bunch of extra money.
