It's officially before & after reveal day in the final chapter of my Extreme Pantry Makeover series! She's beauty and she's grace, if I do say so myself.
It's been a wild ride trying to wrangle this sad little closet into a functional and beautiful mini butler's pantry, but I'm delighted to say that all the work has majorly paid off.
Spring is officially here, and with it, episode 2 of my Extreme Pantry Makeover!
Extreme room makeovers are and always will be among the many things I believe in celebrating year-round, but there's something about an extreme room refresh to ring in the spring season that just feels so....fresh.
If you're new here or haven't had a chance to catch the first installment of this pantry makeover series, I'm currently in the midst of ambitiously transforming a terribly dysfunctional tiny closet into a mini butler's pantry.
I'm starting an EXTREME Pantry Makeover project and taking you along in real time as I redesign and completely make over this closet into a small butler's pantry!
Pantry organization was one of my top priorities this year, and this tiny closet has been completely dysfunctional since we moved into this house.

When we moved in, this room off the garage was pretty much a plain box and a blank canvas. This separate space was a huge selling point for us in this house, because my ultimate goal has always been to have a standalone music studio and office. I knew there was a ton of potential here, and after pinning a ton of photos of built-in bookshelves I knew that would be the perfect focal point for my office.

Between the color and the texture it lends to a space and its subtle boho, natural vibe, I’ve always wanted to DIY a project with cane mesh. This summer, our pantry door turned out to be the perfect candidate for a bi-fold louvered door makeover!
Read MoreAfter working on this project for the past year and a half, I’m so excited to finally share my DIY stenciled faux tile concrete patio with you all today!
This back patio makeover took a lot longer than most of my recent projects, but the faux tile stencil process, thought time consuming, was surprisingly easy. Read on to learn how to stencil a faux tile concrete patio!
Read MoreAlthough we’re still inching our way into consistently warm weather here in NYC, I’ve already catapulted myself into spring cleaning mode.
Courtney here—and today I’m talking about a few non-toxic household item swaps I’ve made in the past few weeks that are a little “cleaner” than the ones I had before.
After I read about all of the toxic chemicals in everyday items, I decided to start slowly. I began with the items that appear to be the worst offenders, and will slowly build up my arsenal of cleaner, greener products from there.
Read MoreLike many of us, one of the major things that’s bringing me a lot of joy right now is working on home projects. Kate here, and today I’m really excited to share this DIY laundry room project we just completed!
I’ve always swooned over waterfall butcher block countertops on Pinterest, and when we moved into a place without a washer and dryer I knew I wanted to somehow find a way to create a cool butcher block counter to house the machines.
This was one of the first big projects we wanted to tackle in our new place, and I’m so thrilled with how it turned out!
