DIY Rustic Coat Rack
After taking too long to finish my entryway coat rack, it is now done and I’m happy to report that the whole family is really liking it. Today I’m going to share with you just how I made my rustic farmhouse style entryway coat rack. First I’ll show you some before and after pictures.Those are always fun! 🙂 Although the bureau was very functional (the drawers held returns and items that were left by visitors which needed to be returned), the piece was very dark and since my entry tends to be a little dark anyways, I wanted to brighten it up. The basket to the right of the bureau…

Making More Room in the Pantry – Installing a Shelf
How’s your weekend going? I’m off to my niece’s bridal shower today (yes, another one is getting married!) but I wanted to share with you a quick project that we did in the pantry this week. For Emily’s wedding I had bought the commercial plastic wrap for all the little mini desserts I made and transported to the reception hall. I didn’t use very much of the wrap but it served its purpose well. I knew I wanted to have the plastic wrap somewhere where I could access it easily in the future but where. My pantry was quite full already and there was not room for this large box of wrap. This is my…
