This post is sponsored by Our Place and ShopStyle Collective.  Of course, all opinions are my own.   We love to cook almost every meal at home.  Not only because home is our favorite place to be, but we know exactly what is in our food. When we go out for dinner, both of us […]

Ever since we started the process of building our house, I knew I wanted wallpaper in the pantries.  Is it extra, yes!  But Deb and I are both a little extra, only in different ways.  I wanted to share a little backstory of my own pantries throughout the years. I bought my first house when […]

Guess what!  Our antique pantry doors are hung.  It’s truly something that I absolutely could not wait for from the moment we bought them.  If you remember, we drove to Tennessee for 6 1/2 hours to pick up these beauties.  Ever since we brought them home, they have been sitting in our garage here at […]

Do you remember when Deb and I made a flying trip to Illinois a few weekends ago to pick up a 12′ antique store counter. (You can see the before pictures in that post.)   We want to use it as our kitchen island.  Well… I wanted to strip it down to the original pine wood […]
