DIY Vintage Sign

Posted on April 19, 2013 by Amy

I have wanted a vintage “Groceries” sign to hang over my pantry just like Christy had over her wall calendar but haven’t been able to find one. So, I decided to make one. This actually was a part of the chalkboard paint projects we recently posted about on Tatertots and Jello, but I never actually included it in that post so the project debuts here today!

This is a very easy way to make a sign, I know there are lots of other ways–stencils, vinyl etc. but this is a way I came up with since I don’t have a vinyl machine nor did I have the right size stencil.

I used this exact same technique to make this “Easter” sign last year for my mantel.

My technique is SO simple. First, I used either a ready made plaque (from Michael’s) or just a scrap board (from Home Depot) and painted it. The black paint on the groceries sign is actually black chalkboard paint, my daughter painted this scrap piece of wood while I painted the board for my DIY Huge Giant Chalkboard last summer as her keep-her-occupied “project” so it just needed lettering.

I used these simple paper die-cut letters, I got these at Michael’s several years ago and have used them for tons of projects and they are the perfect size for a 3 to 4″ board. You just place them on the board, spacing as equally as you can.

Then just trace around each letter with a pencil.

After that, I just painted the letters using a small paint brush. Even though I used chalkboard paint, I used regular white craft paint to fill in the letters on the “groceries” sign. I did two coats of paint for this one because the white looked a little thin.

It doesn’t have to be perfect, if you go slowly its not too difficult to stay in the lines. As you can see, I used a very fancy paintbrush–I think this one came out of my daughter’s $1 watercolor set?

I would like to finish this sign off to make it look more “vintage”, maybe with some light stain or some dark wax to tone down the white letters a bit, but that won’t happen until the boxes with those items are unearthed. If I do, I will be sure to update and let you all know if it worked.

In the meantime, this little sign is now just hanging there over my pantry. Easy!

Is anyone doing anything fun this weekend? I have more painting to do in our new home but can’t seem to motivate!

XO,

Pantry Makeover {Organizing Life}

Posted on October 11, 2012 by Amy

I don’t know if this happens to you all, but sometimes I start a project get to a point with it, and then it stalls for awhile. Then, suddenly something falls into place and suddenly, I get crazy motivated and just can knock it out. Such is the case with my pantry.

Since we moved last year, our pantry is a little on the small side.

I don’t mean to sound ungrateful–I have a pantry after all–but this was our former pantry {funny, I used to think this was “organized” but compared to the beautiful ones out there now, it just looks a mess} it was large, a walk-in space, and it held a ton.

I really am trying not to grocery shop every day or two, which I tend to have to do when I am not organized and don’t plan our meals. But without a lot of storage space for food, its hard to really stock up. So trying to deal with this issue, I got motivated last spring and spent many hours on The Container Store and other websites looking for ways to make this small pantry more functional for us.

I got to this point {above} with it, I added some organizers and put corkboard on the door and added a nice recycling bin, but then couldn’t decide what to do to make it “pretty”. After all when one of your best friend’s pantry looked like this….

and currently looks like this…

Yes, in my world the bar is HIGH! {which I mean in a good way, the best part of blogging with inspirational friends is the positive motivation }

So, I thought about painting the back wall but the shelves don’t come out and that would require much taping–just too much work for a small space. So, I also thought briefly about stenciling but again, that would have been a lot of work for a place where the door is closed 99% of the time.

So I just did other things in my home for the time being.

Then last Saturday morning I stopped in my local TJ Maxx looking for something–don’t even remember what–and saw this shelf paper.

At this point, I whip out my phone and text Christy and Terry “Look at this great shelf paper! What color do you want?” because I can’t keep a good find to myself. And, I tweeted this find for you all, too. {Make sure to follow us @11magnolialane on Twitter so you don’t miss out on any of these goodies}. I bought several rolls not even knowing which one I wanted to use but knowing that shelf paper was going be the perfect way to jazz up my pantry.

Within an hour my kitchen looked like this.

But it took very little time until my formerly white, plain-jane pantry looked like this.

It was so easy to stick up on the walls and made it so much more interesting inside.

So, I did do a small bit of purging then put everything back in neatly and in a more organized fashion. Ta da!

I did add another shelf way up high, something I had also been meaning to do. Its ugly and wire, but I had it laying around and I wanted to use all the wasted but hidden vertical space above the top shelf.

It holds things I need to get to very rarely, like extra plastic bags, wax paper, plastic utensils etc. and it’s out of sight.

Here is a shot of my counters after–just to prove I didn’t have an extra stash of food still to put back in the pantry after I photographed it. I actually can’t believe that I didn’t.

And, if anyone is wondering, here are the tricks that got me to this nice, neat space.

The best advice came from one of our favorite girls, Ashley, from Mini Manor. In her kitchen organizing post she brought up the brilliant concept of “not moving the baking [insert baking supply here} I use rarely to get to the {insert word here} I use daily”. Since I read that, I keep all my baking necessities in another cabinet, in a basket that I just pull out when I actually bake, which isn’t very often. Only what we regularly is stored in my kitchen pantry.

I used as much vertical space as I could. You can find the can rack HERE and the canisters came from IKEA. The risers are available at Bed, Bath & Beyond, The chalkboard labels HERE.

I made use of the door space as best I could. I added a rack to hold plastic cups and water bottles for the kids. Their lunch boxes are in what is actually a rack for plastic wrap from The Container Store, I flipped around and used to hold lunchboxes which freed up a ton of space on the shelves.

I also covered the door panel with adhesive cork board with shelf paper. Its so much prettier now and it holds my shopping list and lunch menus.

If you are someone who likes before/afters…here is our transformation.

So in celebration, I have decided to gather up some of my favorite organizational supplies and give them away! I will announce what they are and begin the giveaway on Saturday, so be sure to stop by then.

In the meantime, thanks for visiting.

BIG BIG News {!}, Plus My Pantry Redo Reveal

Posted on April 19, 2012 by Christy

***The BIG, BIG news first, because I can’t stand not to tell you right away–my kitchen redo is going to be featured in a Better Homes & Gardens magazine! Their Real-Life Kitchens & Baths magazine comes out seasonally, and one of their editors contacted me about including my kitchen in an upcoming issue! After I got up off the floor, I agreed immediately because, let’s face it, this sort of thing doesn’t happen every day. I will, of course, be the example of the “shoestring” budget renovation, but as more of us have small budgets than large ones, that’s just fine with me. We should be doing the photoshoot next month, and of course I’ll keep you updated every step of the way!***

While it’s going to be impossible to top that, I’m so happy to tell y’all that I’ve checked off another BIG item on my 2012 to-do list for the house–the pantry. It has been an eyesore since we moved in last June, and when I redid the kitchen (those posts are here and here) I was so DONE with that room that I skipped the pantry. It’s a great size, though, and I knew it had so much potential.

I made a few quick and easy changes to our cabinet-sized pantry in our North Carolina house, and loved how that turned out. Regardless of the space you have available for your pantry, it’s easy to make the best of what you have. In our NC house, that meant chalkboard contact paper, polka dot ribbon, and lots of mason jars (easy! cheap!) to jazz things up a bit.

Our Nashville house has a big, corner pantry (because that was at the top of my wish list!), but sported white wire shelving (which I hate, hate, hate!!). Here is the embarrassing “before” picture:

Pretty scary, huh? I hated how my cans always fell over sideways, plus my shelves were just a little too short to hold my small appliances (bread machine, blender, etc) on any shelves but the top one. My kids like to make smoothies, and they couldn’t get the blender down easily on their own. Small things, but they annoyed me.

My husband was out of town Palm Sunday weekend, and so late Friday night I decided to just go for it. I took everything out of the pantry and ripped out the white wire shelves, taking a picture of the empty shelves first so I could sell them on Craigslist. They’re already gone; I sold the whole lot for $30 and considered it good riddance!

My recommendation if you’re doing a pantry renovation is that you use a bunch of cardboard boxes or plastic storage bins and put your pantry items in there in an orderly way. Even if it takes only a few days, you’ll still want to be able to find your cereal, peanut butter, and other essentials without searching through everything. It also keeps you sane, as you don’t have to cover every single kitchen counter with pantry stuff! I stacked my boxes in the dining room, which is used more as my workshop than as a dining room these days.

The next step was to patch the holes in the drywall–there were so many holes that I really despaired at this point, but spackle can work miracles. I then gave the pantry a coat of paint that matches the kitchen (Benjamin Moore’s Alexandria Beige), as it was still the contractor color that it was painted originally. That gave me a clean slate to work with!

After measuring several times, I headed to Home Depot. I wanted to use solid shelving, and I wanted it to be white, but I didn’t care too much about whether I used melamine or wood. Once I looked at my options and realized that with wood I would have to prime, sand, paint, sand, and paint again, I decided that melamine would be just fine, thanks! I had the nice guys at Home Depot cut my melamine so that I could build five shelves high, and I bought 1″x 2″ x 8′ primed pine fingerjoint board to use to build the supports under the shelves. I also bought five brackets so that the “floating” shelf would have a support in the corner–pantry items can be heavy!

As I tried out the shelves, I ran into my first problem–while I had measured several times, the front of my shelves needed to be wider than the back of my shelves. Why? Because my pantry isn’t square (!) to the tune of 3/4″. That’s WAY off! I will admit to thinking a few bad words as I loaded all ten pieces of melamine back in the car, and the kids and I headed back to Home Depot after church to have the pieces re-cut. The guys only said, “Measure twice, cut once,” about a thousand times, and how silly of me to expect that a room would be square!

Look how far off the edge is from the front of the shelf to the back–crazy!

It took me about three days to build all five levels of shelves, but only because it was a busy week, with a couple of functions for hubby’s work in the evenings, plus kid activities and homeschooling during the day. It was so exciting as I made progress, though!

I won’t lie–getting the shelves level at the corners where the two pieces met up was a bit tricky. A laser level would probably have made my life easier, but I made it work with just a regular level. I used a combination of 2″ and 2-1/2″ #10 screws to secure the supports to the walls, and where I couldn’t screw directly into the studs, I used Pop-Toggles as my drywall anchors because the nice hardware guy said they’re his favorite and they hold up to 60 lbs.

I spaced the shelves 15″ apart, which is a little taller than the norm, but I wanted everything to fit and there’s always so much wasted space in the top of closets and pantries.

When I had all the shelves built, I realized that I needed to come up with something to hide the fact that the pantry wasn’t square and the shelves were all wonky. After using my brad nailer to secure the shelves to the supports for all eternity, I cut screen trim with my miter saw and used Liquid Nails to glue it to the ends and fronts of the shelves. Take a look at the before and after–the finishing details really make a big difference!

Before:

And after:

I also dabbed a little white paint on the screw heads in the supports and the brackets to camouflage them, although I will admit that I didn’t paint over the primed wood of the supports. They really didn’t need it.

When all the shelves were in place and level, it was time for the fun–moving back in! One idea that I love for a corner pantry, and have had pinned for a long time, is Decor Chick’s corner carousels {read her great redo HERE}. What a great way to utilize the space in the back corner that’s usually wasted! While her father made her beautiful wooden lazy susans, I went to the store and bought five 18″ turntables (using my 20% off coupons, of course!). My shelves are 16″ deep, so that diameter worked perfectly. Here we are with the turntables in place:

Now I’m just going to show you a ton of “after” pictures without much text. I know the pantry looks styled and it won’t stay this neat forever, but the solid shelves and the turntables created SO much additional space for me that I really do have room to leave the serving pieces and cookbooks in here for the long haul. I love it!

The stoneware crock on the floor was my grandmother’s and it holds my onions and potatoes. An old freezer basket holds my cracker boxes and large chip bags. And the blender’s low enough for the kids to reach now!

The chip rack was an Ebay purchase; I have two of them in different sizes.

The Jessie Steele apron was a birthday gift from my friend, Andrea. I love the colors!

I also got the idea of hanging a wreath in the pantry from Decor Chick. Why not decorate this often-used room? I also added a plain black “B” from Hobby Lobby on the other wall.

About a week after I finished the rest of the redo, the chandelier I had ordered arrived. Our friends were visiting from Virginia Beach, so I pulled the box out one morning and put them to work–Robyn put the crystals on with me, and Steve hung it (that was a nice break!). I chose the same little white chandy that’s in my laundry room, as they’re just a few steps from each other and I thought it would provide continuity. It’s impossible to get a decent shot without it being on, but here it is:

Why not hang a chandelier in a pantry? I left the white wire shelves on the inside of the door, although I am debating whether to build a wooden spice rack to take its place on the door, or to replace the door itself with either a screen door or a frosted glass paneled door. Does anyone have an opinion?

I can’t tell you how good this redo made me feel, and even though the shelves were a huge pain because the room wasn’t square, it was still well worth it. With the chandelier, lazy susans, and the shelving materials, I spent about $260. I consider it money well spent, because now I like opening the pantry door!

Here’s one more “before:”

And one more “after:”

Aaahh…much better!

Thanks for stopping by!

(Thanks for the nice compliment too Sharon!)

Congratulations! Please email us at 11Magnolialane@gmail.com and we’ll get your bag on the way.

We have friends visiting this week and I still need to get the pantry redo post written up. Also, the chandelier I ordered only arrived tonight and I need to install that before the final reveal, because what is a pantry without a chandelier, I ask you? Still, I can tell you that I LOVE how it’s turned out. Here’s a nasty “before” picture so you can see what I had to deal with–lots of space but white wire shelving (which I am allergic to), and a big fat mess of my own making.

Yep. Pretty bad. I just love showing you my “before” pictures; it’s like showing you how I look in my sweatpants without makeup! Plus, it makes my OCD flare up in a bad way. Well, here’s an “after” shot just to get your attention:

Ah, much better!

In the meantime, here’s my old pantry in North Carolina (if you’re not sick of it yet), so you can see what I did with a much smaller space. Hang in there with me for a few more days and I’ll have it up soon. Meanwhile, thanks for stopping by!

Home Tour(s) Here at Magnolia Lane

Posted on April 5, 2012 by Amy

Wow! What a big day here at 11 Magnolia Lane.

First off, if you are stopping by from Southern Hospitality, we are SO glad to have you! Sweet Rhoda is featuring Christy’s former home in North Carolina (the historic home that inspired our blog name, Magnolia Lane). If you would like to see more, you can see the extended tour of that home HERE.

And, since today is our day to be the “stop of the day” at the Karen at Home’s Home Tour, today you can also see both Christy’s current home and my (Amy’s) current home. It’s like our own little Magnolia Lane Home Tour!

We just want to say a big thanks to both those ladies for featuring us today.

While you are here, don’t miss our spring giveaway of this cute burlap tote bag, just click the image to enter.

Click and enter to win this personalized Bag!

Both Christy and I moved last summer, so our homes are both still works in progress. Christy, being a military wife, has a talent for moving in and making her house look like she has been there for years.

Without further ado, here is Christy’s new home in Tennessee:

Enter through the welcoming front porch, where the cushions are changed out with the seasons, so there is always something new to see.

Here’s the porch in the fall…

And, here’s the winter decor on the porch…

Continue into the Front Hall (note the Goodwill mirror that got a DIY remake?)

Here’s the Laundry Room with stenciled walls, a repurposed flea market cabinet and vintage enamelware. {See more HERE}

Now, we’ll head to the Kitchen…

Christy remade this room on $600, including painting cabinets and the tile backsplash, making dropcloth curtains and hanging new lights. Click HERE for Part 1 of the makeover, then click HERE for the second generation of the re-do a few months later.

Through the sliding glass doors you step onto the screened porch. This is Christy’s favorite place for a glass of wine in the evening, or an al fresco meal in warm weather.

Now we’ll head upstairs to the kids’ bathroom, which she redid with board and batten.

Christy also upgraded her master bathroom with an IKEA bookcase that was trimmed to look built-in, plus a new chandelier and new decor. You can see the whole room HERE.

The master bedroom with office/sitting room–we just revealed this room HERE this week!

Isn’t it amazing she has been living there only about 9 months? Next up is her pantry that is currently getting a complete overhaul. This is her former pantry in NC (you may have seen it on Pinterest), what will be next?

*******

While it’s hard to follow all her fabulousness, this is my new home. We relocated to the coast of Virginia this fall, moving into a newly built home.

Here is our Front Porch recently decorated with new spring décor.

We live on a former sand quarry that’s been converted into a fresh water lake, and we just love our view. With a lake and a wide front porch, it’s a dream come true.

Come on inside and see our dining room…

Our dining room is on the small side but has a nice view. We recently moved our former kitchen table in there, and it has become a great space for coffee in the morning (when it’s too cold for the porch), or a quiet dinner. We found we really never used the formal dining space so this has been a good solution.

This picture was taken with our former table still in the room, but it gives you an idea of the lake view from this room.

The dining room connects to the kitchen through the butler’s pantry. I have some big plans for this space that I hope to kick off in the next few weeks.

Here is our Kitchen. You can read more HERE. We did the greatest amount of customization here; we had a crazy tight construction timeline (3 months) so we were limited with what we could do thanks to cabinet lead times. We did hold out for marble for the counters and reconfigured the appliances to accommodate a larger 36″ range. I also added in the open shelving shortly after we moved in.

Here is the Breakfast Room with recent updates. A full post is to follow, but since we switched our breakfast and dining tables we are happy to have the extra table space in the kitchen.

Into the family room from the kitchen/breakfast area…

And, here on the other side of the family room, is our well-loved (and often used!) sitting area.

Upstairs you will find my kids’ bathroom. It was a standard builder bathroom, but I recently added stripes and board and batten to make it more interesting, the post is HERE.

Right next to it is my daughter’s pink and white room, her bed faces the lake (out the window) and she has a play table on the other side.

I have a long list of projects (right now we are focusing outside on landscaping and putting in our vegetable garden), so it’s a work in progress around here.

Thanks so much for visiting with us today! And again we truly appreciate that Rhoda and Karen allowed us to share our homes with you.

May you truly enjoy all of the joy and blessings of this Easter season~

Pantry (Re) Organization

Posted on January 9, 2011 by Christy

Happy New Year, everyone! First of all, let me apologize for my lengthy absence from blogging (especially to Amy and Terry, who covered for me while I was on hiatus). And, while you read the title and know that this post is going to be about how I reorganized my pantry, let me show you one of the reasons I haven’t been online much.

Gratuitous Picture of Our Darling New Family Member!

Yes, we have a new puppy, delivered on Christmas Eve! Our golden retriever, Madison, died last Christmas (the night of the 25th, to be exact), and our house just hasn’t been the same without a dog. I thought of a million reasons NOT to get a dog right now–at the top of the list is the fact that we’ll be moving this summer, and, oh yeah, our hundred-year-old hardwood floors. But despite all of that, it just seemed that the timing was right.

So, forgive my digression, but I just had to explain what I’ve been doing instead of blogging (i.e., following Bodie around to make sure he’s not peeing or chewing where he’s not supposed to when he’s out of his crate).

Now, on to the pantry. Don’t we all feel the urge to organize come January? I think it’s because we spend time in almost every room of our houses, taking Christmas ornaments and decorations down and putting things back in order. Although, usually after a month of Christmas preparations and celebrations, things aren’t really back in order, are they? Plus, as I try to integrate all our lovely presents into our home, I realize how much junk stuff that we have.

Since we’re moving this summer, I’ll be going through virtually everything we own over the next few months, deciding whether it’s worth taking along or not. That’s one benefit of being married to someone in the military–the frequent moves give you ample opportunity to pare down and streamline.

One area that’s been crying out for attention is my pantry. I love our kitchen, and it’s the biggest one I’ve ever had, but the pantry is a bit lacking. The reason is that the owners knocked out walls and combined three rooms to make the kitchen, and so there’s tons of cabinet space, but no walk-in closet-style pantry that newly constructed homes have. I find that it’s hard to find places for my infrequently-used appliances, like my food processor and bread machine, and I don’t want it all out on my counter. I’ve solved the problem in part by keeping most of my grocery stockpile downstairs in the cellar and minimizing what stays in the kitchen. My kids may complain when they have to walk outside in the winter to go into the cellar to retrieve an ingredient for dinner, but it could be worse–they could be walking to school in the snow, uphill, both ways, like we did!

This is the home we have been lucky enough to enjoy these last few years. (Click HERE for the whole tour).

And here is one that shows some of the kitchen:

The kitchen

So, here’s the before picture of the pantry. I feel a little bit embarrassed about showing this to you, but don’t we all have trouble spots in our homes? My bread machine was in use on the counter, so that’s why there’s open space on the left side–usually things are falling out when I open the doors!

First, I pulled everything out. I know that some people can take several days to do a project like this, but I am not one of those people. Having all that junk stuff out on my counters and floor is incentive to get things done!

I decided to jazz the pantry up a bit by adding 1/2″ wide ribbon to the front of the shelves. It was on sale at Hobby Lobby, and I just glue-gunned it on so that I can pull it off easily if and when I’m tired of it.

I also ordered chalkboard Contact paper online (click HERE
to order it from Amazon through our affiliate program–this is where I got mine). It nearly killed me to have to wait for it to be delivered, and it took forever. I’m an immediate-gratification kind of girl! I put chalkboard contact paper inside the cupboard doors so that I could write menus, grocery lists, or just let the kids doodle. I didn’t want to use chalkboard paint because I wanted to be able to remove everything when the times comes without a lot of fuss. This worked out perfectly, and I had enough left over to put chalkboard labels on my big jars of flour and sugar on the counter and on the smaller jars I bought for the pantry.

I did take a page from some of the awesome pantry reorganizations I’ve seen online (like Shelley’s from House of Smiths–you must look at it–here), and decanted whatever I could into mason jars, baskets, glass bottles, and canisters. The baskets are from TJ Maxx–I already had them–and most of the glass decanters are from Wal-Mart and Marshall’s (any excuse to go to TJ Maxx and Marshall’s–plus they’re usually less than the big-box stores).

After organizing but before doing the doors.

Note the obligatory row of San Pellegrino bottles that everyone has to have in their re-organized pantry, I guess because they’re so darned pretty. I actually drink mine–love S. Pellegrino!

I had to take a close-up of my chip rack. Like my wall chalkboard calendar, it is an object of humor (derision? envy?) from my friends, but I love it. Fortunately, this pantry has adjustable shelves, so I was able to remove a shelf to make room for my chip rack. I will confess that I have a second (larger) one down in the cellar, and I use whichever one fits best in whichever house we’re living in. I think I bought them both on Ebay for $20 (with shipping). I’ve seen them at garage sales and flea markets before, but remember, I’m all about immediate gratification, so I had to just buy the sizes that I needed when I saw them!

Is this OCD or what?!

Here’s the finished product–hope you like it! Oh, I forgot to mention the black and white polka dot paper. That’s just scrapbook paper that I adhered using repositionable Photo Mount, so we can pull it down when we move. The cabinets are all white with black granite countertops, so it might work for the next residents.

I hope you like it!

This pantry was featured on HouseLogic.com and the writer, Lisa Kaplan Gordon, did a tremendous job with the write-up and includes some details that I didn’t think to mention in the above post. So feel free to click through and read about it HERE if you’re interested in more on my pantry!

P.S. We’ve moved to a new house since, and I redid that pantry, too. It’s MUCH bigger, but I had just as much fun. Click {here} to read all about it! Also, Amy’s gorgeous pantry redo is {here}.

Thanks for stopping by!
