Here's an after shot of my pantry shelves. I lined them with red gingham fabric and moved in the white wire shelves holding the canvas baskets of potatoes, onions and snacky foods, cloth napkins and tablecloths and "green" bags for the grocery store. The old suitcase now hides trash bag rolls -- a little rustic perhaps, but better than bright colored cardboard boxes they come in.
Call me crazy (and they might) but William cleaned up the front screen door from my Grandparents house and then attached it as the door to my pantry/laundry room. It is very, very rustic and looks a lot worse in these pictures than in person. But I really love it! Adds a lot of character to a bland working room.


Today was a super fun one! I spent all day with my friend, Elaine. We just sat around and visited, drank a little coffee, ate a wonderful lunch, shopped a little and even caught a few garage sales on a Friday afternoon. Lots of fun! Great bargains! I'll show you those later.
Happy Friday!

  1. Gwyn, I love the screen door. I actually have a picture of this idea in my decoration collection. Its a grand idea! The rustic look is perfect for your rustic cottage! Of course we know if I did it it would be painted!:)
