Pantry Inspiration and Reorganization

Am I the only nerd who LOVES to organize? It brings a smile to my face just thinking about labels and bins and color coded closets. I'd been feeling the need to organize my pantry (which is actually a coat closet turned pantry with the help of some IKEA shelving) for a while, and after finding so many inspiring pantries on Pinterest, I bit the bullet and got to organizing just before my sister came to visit.

Before you see the before pic, here is some organizational eye candy to get you in the mood:







That last one gets me every time. It must be instant happiness every time they reach for a new roll of paper towels. I need some yellow in my life!! 

Ok, back to my pantry.

House Tour


Remember how in this post I mentioned giving you all a house tour? Since I literally only have one friend who has ever seen the inside of our new place I figured it might be fun. And since I tell you all about all sorts of menial things about my life, seeing where they all happen might be cool. You know how you picture how someone looks from hearing their voice or having a friend talk about them, but then when you meet them they look completely different? Well I do that with spaces too. I envision someone in their house/office/whatever and then when I actually see it, its usually completely different than I imagined. Anyone else do that?

I also love to decorate and diy things for my home. You'll see real quick that I haven't done much of that at all in our new place- so you can bet I'll be doing those sorts of projects in the future. Now you'll have a dreary before to compare all those after pics to. It could be kinda fun. You can see our little place transform into a home. It it going to take a little elbow grease to get this place where we want it- it lacks the charm that our last place had, is smaller, and has awful cabinets in both bathrooms and the kitchen. Should be an adventure :)

Here is a floor plan for you all soon so you can see how everything connects (like they did on one of my favorite DIY blogs, Young House Love)
