Pantry Re-do

Ok, so this weekend I went back to my Sister In-Law's house to help her do another organization project. This time, we tackled her pantry. Check it out!

This is what her pantry used to look like. She has so much stuff, so first we decluttered, and threw out all of the expired food.

 This is what happened after decluttering and organizing!

After

 Canned goods, and anything un-opened is on this first shelf.

 She used to have canned goods in different cabinets in her kitchen, now they are all consolidated into one place!

All of her baking ingredients and such are only on this shelf.

Notice how all of the snacks are now seperated in little zip lock baggies, for easy to go grab.

She used to have cleaning supplies in the pantry, so we removed all of that and only placed cleaning rags, and a bin full of plastic containers, and a little container full of crayons, and coloring stuff for her daughter while she is cooking. How clever!

Now everything is organized, in its place, this way it makes it easier for her to know where everything is, and she won't have to go digging in every cabinet just to look for certain ingredients. 

Before & After

Yay, now we can breath! haha, she feels much better now, and so do I. Thanks again Loni.

Stay tuned for next weekend, we are going to tackle her little girls closet! I am super stoked!

~Office Maxx~

Over the weekend I helped my sister in law, clean, declutter, and organize her office space closet. She didn't really know what to do with the space, she wanted to make it organized and neat, but she just didn't know how to go about it. That's when I popped in and offered to help her.

This is what her closet used to look like.

(Sorry about the pictures, I took them all night time and had to use the flash because of lack of lighting.)

After much decluttering, shopping, installing,building, and putting together, here is the end result!
Thank you IKEA and Target


We took off the doors because they were taking so much visual space, and blocking the easy access.

She loved my idea of painting stripes on magazine filers, she painted her own.

Of course I had to show a Before & After

Of course we re-purposed her cute hanging divider.

I had so much fun! Thank you Loni!

DIY: Swatch Art

I love paint! Ok, that's an understatement, I am obsessed with paint. So obsessed infact that I have pretty much every swatch from Lowe's and Home Depot. It's so embarrasing going in just to pick up some swatches, hey, they're FREE!

So having so many swatches I felt inspired to make something with them, something fun, so I made some Art for Nolan's Room. Yes, more Art, I love Art!

Pick your colors.

Than cut out the swatches any size you desire.

Makesure you plan out your pattern before you start taping them together.

Than get some double sided tape.

Once it's all taped, it should look like this from the back.

And the front.

  So you wil need to cut the excess paper sticking out.

Almost done!

Done!

 Than Frame, and hang!

I absolutely love this piece, the pattern, the colors, it's so whimsical, yet chic! This is going on Nolan's Gallery.

DIY: Crayon Art

I saw this on Pintrest and decided to give it a try, it looked so creative and cute. Perfect for Nolan's room. I think it turned out pretty cool.

Tada!!

Beautify Your Drawers

I have this cute little drawer filer from IKEA that I use for my office space. But, it's so boring! I decided I got tired of the uglyness and blahness feel I got everytime I saw it. So I gave it a quick makeover.

Why is it all taped up? Because that is the only way my little one won't open the drawers haha it looks so guetto I know!

Drawer 1

 Drawer 2

 Drawer 3

So what did I do? First I decluttered and removed a lot of the stuff that was un-necessary and threw it out!

Next was so much fun, and easy! I used some of the left over self-adhesive paper from the cute magnet board I made for Easter.

Than, I organized!

I am obsessed with how much cuter and organized it looks! Drawer 1 is my favorite!
