Yesterday was one of the most productive days I've had in a long time. The pantry looks awesome and there is no expired food or stale crackers to be found and you can see the floor! :) Hopefully we can keep it that way! Now that I'm menu planning, I really don't need a full pantry but I'm adding things into our menus to use some of it up and if something is a good deal, I will buy extra. My pantry staples are crackers, pasta, refried beans, canned beans, tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, canned fruit, baking supplies, and chicken broth. That way I know I can have company at any time without worrying about food and I don't have to shop for everything every week. Here's a picture of the finished project:
The other big thing that got done yesterday was painting our guest bedroom. We are in the process of re-doing our room (bought a new bed, re-organizing, accessorizing etc. - no painting) and are moving furniture and changing what goes where. :) So...it was a good time to get this project done before we move the "new" furniture in. After the boys went to bed, I cut in and Andrew rolled. It went so fast and it made me wonder why it's taken us almost 4 years to get it done. :) I don't think it will need a full 2nd coat just touch up here and there!
I'm motivated - I really find it fun doing projects and seeing the transformation. I really want to keep it up...maybe not quite that pace... :)

Wow your pantry look great! And I'm impressed you painted you guest room in one evening. :)
Good for you!! You're making me want to go down and straighten out mine right now. I'd love to see the floor again:)
yay! Can you come down to Dallas and do that for me? I don't have the excuse of kiddos and such, but it still gets very disorganized very fast :)
Ok, my pantry needs organized big time! When are you available? lol!! Yours looks awesome! And painting too. Wow... you go girl. :)
