Pantry Project

If you've been reading my blog for awhile, 

or if you actually know me in real life,

you know that I'm pretty laid-back.

sometimes, though, I'm a weird mixture of laid-back and type A. 

can you be a type A type B? 

When I want something done, I want it done *exactly* right.

like, all the hangers hanging a certain way in the closet.

towels and sheets folded the same direction.

it's weird. a little OCD, I know.

behind the piles of laundry and dishes,

i have an inner organizational side.

i really, really like things organized.

 a lot.

one of my new year's resolutions was that our house would reflect my inner-OCD-self.

so, with the pantry I began.

i can barely show you the before photo.

my OCD-side freaks out at it.

{and, this was definitely our pantry at its absolute worse}

but, with a deep breath I click upload:

 our pantry before

eek! it's bad, I know.

so,

after a few coats of paint.

{yes, I painted the pantry!}

and several trips to the Container store,

voila!

it's fabulous, isn't it?

i maybe keep the door open just to look at how pretty it is. 

and I think it makes the Gracie monster happy, too.

she at least gets her OCD-streak honestly, huh?
