I've been reorganizing a few spaces in our kitchen as I work on the new pantry , and I'm loving how much more functional they've become!  I was working on a spice drawer that I'll share in a minute, but noticed that every time I shut the drawer, the organized containers slid all over and got out of order.  YES, I alphabetized them. :)  I thought about using a liner to keep them from moving around, but I've found that it still slides around inside the drawer. I also wanted to separate some of the spices into sections, so I needed a different solution.   I recently shared a few ways to keep things from sliding around  both vertica

How to Install a Stone Peel and Stick Tile Backsplash

How to Install a Stone Peel and Stick Tile Backsplash

Tips for installing a DIY peel and stick tile backsplash. No mortar or grout needed with this easy installation method! You can get a fresh look anywhere you want a tile accent with this easy DIY project!  These peel and stick wall tiles I used on our pantry backsplash were a HUGE timesaver. The adhesive on the back of these faux stone tiles make it easy and quick to install.  I've been moving along on the pantry turned "butler's" pantry makeover I shared with you last week! I was annoyed with the piles of stuff from the pantry laying all over our mud/laundry room, so I've been motivated to get this done quicker than usual. :) I got the cabinets installed first (check out my tips on installing cabinets here ) and then installed the butcher block countertop before starting the tile.  You'll want to know where your counter stops before installing the tile, no matter what kind of tile you're using.  If you read my pantry plan post (say that three times fast)

Three Best Brass Spray Paints for DIY Makeovers

Three Best Brass Spray Paints for DIY Makeovers

Comparing six metallic brass and gold spray paints to find the perfect brass finish, and my top three picks! Brass and gold finishes have been back in style in a big way for years. They aren't going anywhere soon!  I'm talking about the warmer, more varied brass tones that look great on light fixtures and accessories by the way, not the super shiny brass that many of us have had on our door knobs or light fixtures over the years. :) I was on a rampage in our last house to get rid of the shiny brass fixtures. I actually don't mind that look as much now, but the warmer brass tones feel more realistic for sure.  I've wanted to compare some brass and gold spray paints for awhile, so over the past couple of months I've gathered six metallic spray paint options:  From left to right we have:   Rust-oleum Universal Metallic Pure Gold Rust-oleum Universal Metallic Sunlit Brass Rust-oleum Metallic Gold in bright and shiny finish Rust-oleum Metallic Warm Gold Rust-oleum Metall

Transforming a Pantry Into a Functional Butler's Pantry

Transforming a Pantry Into a Functional Butler's Pantry

Transforming a basic pantry into a butler's pantry with cabinets and tons of storage!  We have a large pantry that I LOVE...the space is a dream after having a tiny pantry for so many years at our old house. Because of the size, we store more than just food in there -- lots of appliance, kitchen towels, paper goods, etc.  Shortly after we moved in a few years ago, I shared how I organized the melamine shelving in our pantry :  You should see how it looked before! Yikes. I later added a DIY pull out drawer with soft close slides for some of the everyday appliances we use in here:  This post may contain affiliate links for your convenience.  See my  policies and disclosure page  for more information.    We LOVE  that thing -- it is so useful and I will be repeating it in this redo!  I've dreamed for years about turning our pantry into more of a butler's pantry -- where most of the food is hidden in the cabinets. We keep the pantry door open 24/7 because our animal's food
