The Closet Turned Pantry

I knew the closet under our stair case could be put to good use.  So Babe got busy and built some shelves.  Amazing shelves, none the less.  Everything he builds turns out perfect, thats why he builds and I cheer him on.  I love my new pantry so much that I'm thinking I will add to his list a shallower shelf on the opposite side of the closet.  This one will only be deep enough to hold quart sized jars of home made canned delights, aka his favorite salsa.

Thanks to my good friend Kristi who gave us the idea!

Getting Crafty for Fall

I love fall colors, who doesn't?  I grabbed a bunch of flowers from Michael's and literally just shoved them into this cute pitcher, also from Michael's.  And there you have it, a beautiful fall center piece.

  This was even easier.  I topped this mirror with a fall garland.  It added just the colors and warm feel  I needed to welcome those brisk days of fall.  Only problem is, here in California we are being blessed with warm 90 degree weather.  Gotta love that sunshine while it lasts.
