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.

Instead of a layout that made sense, plates near … [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...]
