Pantry Makeover..

We have limited cabinet space in our Kitchen,  so
to expand our storage and have a Pantry space for our canned goods,
and to house some of our small appliances..
we bought this white cabinet at Target a few years ago.

While it does help.. It usually has a lot of wasted space vertically.
I have tried the wire shelves, stacking items, and different idea's to make
the canned items work.. but never found something I really liked for it.

So it was time again to rethink this space.

Here is the before:

We decided to change it up.. and cut some 2 x 4's to use for shelving.

(I painted them black)

DIY CANDY BOUQUET..

Happy Valentine's Day..

Today I am sharing what I made for my family as a special surprise for

Valentines Day..   a Candy Bouquet.

In deciding what to do for my family.. I decided on making them each a Candy Bouquet.

Decorative Jar Candle..

I have another fun DIY project..
This one is great for all year..  or would be lovely at a special occasion to dress up
the table decor.


Here goes:

I used:

• Votive Jar/Candle
• Ribbon
• Mason Jar with ring
• Alphabet stickers

I simply placed the votive jar inside the mason jar,  I also left the ring on that goes on the jar - because I liked the look (no lid however), then I attached a pastel pink ribbon,

and added the word Love..

So cute..
