kitchen project

We've been working on a project in the kitchen and I've had more than one request to share pictures. :)

This post is not really a before & after post because we are still working on it, but more like a before & during post.

Ten days ago, the side of our kitchen looked like this:


Since then, it went from that to this:


To this:


To where it is now:


I am pretty excited about this project, I have to say. Upgrading to a bigger fridge AND getting a pantry all in the same week? Happy Leslie here.

Can I just show why I am so excited about this? Look at this storage-



Makes me ridiculously happy.

The project is not complete. Ben plans on building a surround around the refrigerator with open shelves on the side and a cabinet of some sort above. Also, we used about a foot of space from my closet in the bedroom and it is currently still disassembled. My clothes are spread all around the house until we get a chance to put the closet back together.

I was just saying to a friend- and thought I would share here too- that I am so happy to have found a partner who enjoys home projects as much as I do. And, let's be real, I think we all know that he is the skills of this operation and I am just the idea girl/painter/cleaner/nail puller/kid occupier. :)

Thanks, Ben, for always being cheerfully willing to make our home ours.  I am a lucky girl.

I have to say I am pretty jealous! All that storage right in the kitchen. The door looks super cute and some vinyl lettering on the glass would really look great. Ben is pretty awesome and so are you.

Wow! Love the pantry Leslie. Where did you get those cute baskets with the little chalkboards? I need something like that. Great job Ben!

Kate, I have a bit of a basket obsession and buy cute ones often at Homegoods. These were all in my stash. I added small chalkboards from Hobby Lobby to the front of each with twine.

I agree with Bridget - you are both pretty amazing!

Thanks for the tip on the chalkboards. I always forget about Homegoods for some reason! Not sure why since it's a fabulous store :)
