Jackie’s Play Kitchen Space
For Christmas of last year (2021) we got our daughter an adorable play kitchen from Teamson. I got it for a great deal and it was shipped to us before Thanksgiving, so I had it in plenty of time for Christmas. When we decided that we were going to put it in her room I knew that I wanted it to be more built in. I did this for a few reasons. First, I didn't want it stick out from the wall. Second, I wanted to have confidence that it would be secure and finally I didn’t want the random stuff that kids inevitably have to get stuck behind it.
Under Bar Shelves
We have a 9 ft. long bar in our kitchen. Our house doesn’t have a lot of storage, so the bar just became a place for clutter to live. Every time I looked at it I just got frustrated because I couldn’t stay on top of the clutter, so I decided to do something about it. I did a poll on Instagram asking my followers if I should add shelves or leave it as is. I was unanimously told that I should not touch the bar, BUT if you know me you know that if I have my mind set on something, I go for it. I decided that my family lives here so I'm going to do what's best for our family and our house to function. So I got to work!
Laundry Room Build
When we moved into our new-build home in 2020 the laundry room was one of the things that was the most disappointing to me. It was definitely builder grade with tons of underutilized space and the dreaded wire shelving (if you’ve been here for a while you know that I HATE those wire shelves and have, little by little, tried to remove them completely from my home). I knew that I wanted to tackle this project to provide the most functional design for this space, as well as creating something tailored to our family’s specific needs. So in January 2021 I got to work.
