A LOVELY LITTLE CLOSET

It has been a wonderful kind of busy

around the cottage as of late!

It has been filled with

beadboard
&
paint
&
shelves
&
trim
&
cutting & screwing & leveling 
&
{my favorite part…accessorizing!}

Does it get any better than that list of activities?

--------------------------------------

All of this work has been

leading to this…

our new

lovely little closet

--------------------------------------

Here is where we started

oh boy!

and evolved…

from inside my head..
then on  to this paper sketch…

to starting the beadboard

to painting and beginning the custom shelves

I’ve decided to use it currently as an
extended
kitchen cupboard
display
pantry space

we’ve divided this new glorious storage into

STATIONS…

the closet now includes a
breakfast shelf {Cereal Station} where kiddos can help themselves to bowls and spoons

and a big glass jar of cereal
{with a vintage metal scoop, of course!}

EAT UP!

I’ve also been able to now display my favorite
kitchen scale and some treasured family vintage cookbooks

as well as some ruffle-y aprons

and vintage cake plates
{alongside some new ones}
all in a row

all in all - I’m diggin’ my new closet/storage spot!

 

Thanks for coming to visit!
