It's fall y'all! How in the world did that happen?! Life has gotten really crazy around here for me, but crazy in a good way, and in a way that is making time disappear WAY too fast! I had wanted to share this project a few months back, but yikes! Here we are in October! Anyhoo...
#goodbyeyellowkitchen is still underway, although it will probably not ever get to the completion point I had imagined in my head. Basically, any project on the list but not yet started won't get started. And there's a really good reason for that that I will hopefully get to share soon! I'll still be able to show off the "afters" once we do get things wrapped up, it just won't be the after I imagined. But I'm going to store all of those ideas & projects for another purpose. Can't let good ideas go to waste, right?
One of the new features in the kitchen that did get completed was my new spice "rack." Really, I don't know what to call it. Spice display? Spice jar thingy? I had a hard time deciding how to share this project because in order to get the materials needed, I had to do a couple of side projects. So, do I give out the materials first then show what to do with them, or show off the finished product and then explain how I got my materials? I decided on the latter. Here goes...
When we moved into this house, we removed all the cabinet doors to create open shelving, which I hoped would make the kitchen feel a little bigger. Obviously, that means everything you have in these cabinets is on display. And, yeah, the designer in me wanted everything perfectly arranged and looking "pretty" but the practical person in me was like, whatever, just make stuff accessible. For the most part, the designer in me won out. But when it came to all my spices, the practical one won.
