Blog love...Sunny Side Up

I was just minding my own business last night scrolling through Pinterest looking for beautiful home decor, recipes and DIY inspiration and I happened upon once again a blog that literally blows my mind....it's called Sunny Side Up I obviously am drawn to the incredibly beautiful and perfect brand new dream home that I see on the blog I mean look at Erin's house...don't you love it?

 I had to stop myself from getting out the paint brush and painting my brand new kitchen cabinets white. Isn't it dreamy?

 This laundry room may however have me re-painting my laundry room because it is so happy painted in this color...I can't even explain...this is one of two laundry rooms....I want to tell Erin it is possible to have your kids do their own laundry my kids started doing their own laundry at 12 and 15 years old...it is a wonderful thing.

So there is all this drool worthy decor to pin and inspire but there is something else....

ORGANIZATION ....Erin is the queen of organization...which resulted in my waking up this morning feeling like I need desperately to organize better....and I got right to cleaning out cabinets in my kitchen early this morning. 

 Check out this POST for all Erin's organization posts...you can thank me later.

After taking a good hard look at how unorganized I currently am, I am going to go through all my stuff and get rid of what we don't need and don't use and after that I am going to tackle adding drawers to all our lower cabinets in the kitchen which I have been meaning to do...I figure if I tackle one cabinet a week than it will be very managable. I'm kind of excited.

I'm going to soon show on the blog once again how to easily and affordably add pull outs and drawers to standard base cabinets...it's so easy so check back for that next week. You can take a look at this POST here to see how I added drawers to this cabinet which has been a huge success organization is eassy if everything has it's own space.

fresh coat for the closet

Here is the before of my laundry room pantry/closet. It is outfitted with built ins I made out of MDF 12"x 8' shelving, edged with primed select pine. Lots of shelves to keep things stored and organized. When we bought this house I was very excited to have this space , I looked very forward to having a dedicated spot for my vacuum and brooms and such. I also looked very forward to getting the dog food , bowls and gear out of my kitchen. It has turned out to be a great asset and I just love it. I even have space for drinks and extra food items which I never really had ever before.
It needed to be primed and caulked , which I was putting off because who really wants to do all that .
I was thinking of painting it all a punchy color , but I was easily swayed to keep it fresh and white, or off white I guess with our Birch White.

After taping off and filling holes and sanding then dusting I tackled the priming followed by caulking. 

 Gave it all a couple of coats of semi-gloss Birch white general paint.

 I re-attached all the gadgets.

 Doesn't it look fresh and crisp , I love a good built in.

Now I wait to be able to put all the contents back where it all belongs , and maybe I will make some doors for this closet , or maybe it will just get a curtain, that might just work better. Heck maybe I'll keep it open , its my laundry room.
OMG I just realized since I added wheels to the dog food container I have room for another shelf... that I can make from scraps....
