Victorian Farmhouse Kitchen Design Plans
I am so excited to embark on a full victorian farmhouse kitchen restoration.

Pantry Organization with Mason Jars
Our little farmhouse kitchen was in dire need of a little tidying up, or should I say, a complete overhaul. Watch me attempt pantry organization with mason jars and a sharpie paint pen. There was a bit of a problem lurking behind the cabinet doors here at the farmhouse. Instead of nicely organized dry goods, in pretty little jars with printable labels, my cabinets were overflowing with bags of dates, shredded coconut, walnuts and baking supplies. Instead of a layout that made sense, plates near … [Read more...]
Spice Cabinet Organization

The spring cleaning bug is buzzing around the farmhouse, and I obliged to its demands with a little spice cabinet organization. I am slightly embarrassed to show you the before photos on this project. Let's just say I have probably never thought about organizing the spice cabinet EVER, and it kind of shows. Not only that, the cabinets were a hideous … [Read more...]

Our Experience with the IKEA Domsjo Double Bowl Farmhouse Sink
If you've been reading my blog for a little while, you know that we renovated our kitchen earlier this year. When I wrote the first post about the makeover, I wasn't sure if I wanted to paint the cabinets gray or white. I was throwing around the idea of a bead board back splash and I wasn't sure if I would do butcher block counter tops or some kind of stone. A lot about that original design plan changed, but one thing I knew I wanted from the very beginning, was a farmhouse … [Read more...]
