Laundry Room and Pantry Before and After

I plan to make my kitchen curtains and finish decorating the kitchen this weekend. So hopefully you'll have a more exciting before and after than our laundry room and pantry. At least it's more exciting for me because I waited for months for the floral fabric to be back in stock, and it's really going to take the kitchen to the next level.

In other, completely unrelated to the laundry room and pantry, news, I think I've finally thought of a painting I'd like to make to hang above our bed. This makes me happy because as you'll eventually see, we have more wall space in our bedroom than we do in our living room and dining room combined. Also, I kind of started a painting a la Orla Kiely's stem print to hang above our sofa. So the living room won't be completely decorated until then.

So without further ado, I give you the laundry room and the pantry before I entered their sad white walled lives.

And after. I love purple! It was my favorite color when I was little. Pink couldn't be my favorite color because it was my sister's. Then I went through a phase in high school when I realized that I could love pink. But now I'm back to purple. In case you were wondering.

This space is kind of awkward since there's no place for outside shoes. I think I'll put some hooks on the wall behind the outside door for coats and Theo's leash.

I'm so glad I painted the pantry.

Look how much fun this contact paper is! Our food is happy for sure.

We don't have a whole lot of counter or cabinet space in the kitchen so the wine rack and wine glasses were relegated to the pantry. Which I guess isn't so bad since the pantry is so awesome. This is the only organizational bit of the pantry that I'm showing you because the food part kind of looks like a mess. The shelves are just so far apart. I need to get more of those wire add-a-shelf things.
