Hi Anna,

not sure if you will read this, since the post is already a few weeks old… I was directed to it when reading all “organizing” posts at Benita’s blog.
Your pantry is VERY neat! It reminds me of the paper I used to cover the shelves inside a built-in closet in our living room, the paper actually being a paper tablecloth I got at Ikea.
Love those baskets! And I spotted a Mrs. Meyer cleaner in there, my latest favourite!

Will check out more of your blog soon.

I absolutely adore the wallpaper. It matches perfectly with everything else. Aha, I’m glad I’m not the only one in need of a stool. Heh.

What a lovely pantry! This makes me want to redo every cabinet in our house.

Lovely job!! I really like the wallpaper and that doorknob is fantastic. It’s the little things in life. :)

Beth: There’s not much of a story, really! I just started eating the right amount of the right things. No diet, I just eat differently now. There’s no secret to losing weight (and, more importantly, maintaining a healthy weight in the long term) other than being realistic and honest with yourself. Most people know the right way to eat, they just don’t do it — or they convince themselves that they’re incapable of losing weight or eating differently. Lies! I know, because I did it for a long time.

April in CT: The spray bottles (which are GREAT) come from the Container Store.

Kay*: Yes, the doorknob is from Anthropologie. I bought it a few years ago, though — I’m not sure if they still sell it.

Vicki: I have an Electrolux Oxygen3 canister vaccum. It’s great, but if I could have any vacuum in the world, I’d have chosen a Miele Luna.

I’m a sucker for organizing tips, so your pantry post spoke to me. It looks great. And like someone above said, it’s a little punch of happy where least expected. Which, I suspect, was your plan all along.

Lovely as always! Thanks for giving a little shout-out to the stepstool–as a vertically-challenged person I am always longing for a stepstool that’s not pig-dog ugly!

You should write a home DIY/decorating book. I would buy it!

This is so inspiring. We have a similar storage space which we use for dishes. When we moved in ten years ago I painted it in a weird grey blue shade, leftover paint, and I’ve been meaning to redo it all but have been pushing it forward. This decided it. It will be my next project. I want mine to look as great as yours :) Great idea with the cork!

Do you mind my asking what kind of vacuum you have?

This looks fantastic Anna, anyone would think it was the original pantry. You must feel very happy to have the space back, and all so organised!

So when do we get to see the lovely Bindweed wallpaper on the bathroom wall? I’m actually thinking of using it in my bedroom and would love to see how your bathroom turned out.

I love the pantry. I scrolled through your renovations and I am sooo impressed. My husband and I just moved into our 90 year old house in Beacon and I’m very inspired… and undeniably a bit intimidated. Just take it slow, right?

WOW! I’m totally blown away and so impressed! Your pantry looks stunning and you are so right- it looks so original to the house! I love the cupboard you got from Patty, the finish is so beautiful! I will forever be impressed by your organizational skills!

I am so jealous and in awe of the work you’ve done, especially that you’ve done it yourself. It looks so great. I have the same step stool, but in white, and it is fabulous, but since I am so short it never gets put away and is always out in my tiny, 4×6 kitchen!
