I made some attractive updates to our pantry not too long ago and needed to share the ultimate end result with you all!

Thus far this yr, I have been motivated and impressed to make some DIY and decor adjustments to a couple of our areas I’ve already labored on through the years. 

I am reverse of most — I get my vitality and motivation within the colder months. Summer time and warmth depresses me, so I am profiting from the winter and spring. 🙂

Earlier than, we had plain shelving round this room. 4 years in the past I tore these down and put in tall pantry cupboards and drawers of their place. 

It is a a lot prettier area, but additionally a lot extra useful now that it is extra of a butler’s pantry arrange. We regularly use the countertop as a secondary spot for dishes and meals after we’re entertaining. 

Plus, all of our dry meals storage and small home equipment are organized fantastically within the pull out drawers. I completely love this tiny room! 

In January, I tackled updates in our mud and laundry room combo. One among my tasks was taking down shiplap I had beforehand put in on one wall. 

I eliminated the entire nails from a number of of the boards and repurposed them for the pantry. Once I labored on this area years in the past, I by no means continued the vertical paneling on the partitions onto this wall by the doorway:

I’ll earn a small fee when you make a purchase order by hyperlinks. 

I am unsure why I did not do that on the time? It felt unfinished, so I took down that DIY paper roll and put in a number of the boards from the laundry room there:

At first that was my solely undertaking deliberate, however then my wheels began turning…

I needed so as to add some coloration to the room, however did not wish to repaint every part. I’ve to work across the mild grey cupboards, so I used to be looking out for a lovely wallpaper to put in above the paneled partitions. 

I spent weeks trying on-line and even ordered a number of samples, however nothing felt proper. I had my coronary heart set on one thing in a botanical print with birds. Undecided why the birds, I simply had it in my mind. 🙂

Then someday on a visit to Lowe’s, I noticed this darkish botanical wallpaper — the colours have been excellent and BIRDS: 

Many of the critiques had footage of this wallpaper actually falling off of the partitions, so I used to be hesitant. I hung one panel and left it up for a number of days earlier than persevering with. 

It stayed up simply high quality, however total this was my least favourite wallpaper I’ve ever put in (and I’ve put in a whole lot of them). It isn’t very sticky in any respect and the standard isn’t nice…however I do LOVE the design and moody colours. 

I’ll hold you up to date if there are any points! 

After putting in the wallpaper, I felt just like the trim wanted a little extra element. I grabbed small, sq. items of trim from the ironmongery shop and put in them alongside the highest: 

That little element accomplished it properly! 

After the wallpaper and wall trim, it was time to handle the backsplash wall behind the countertop. I not too long ago shared the messy strategy of removing that peel and stick tile. 

As a result of the wallpaper is the star on this room and I did not need something competing in opposition to it, I went with vertical tongue and groove boards as an alternative of tile:

That manner I might fill within the gap and paint over, however can nonetheless entry them if wanted later. I made positive to caulk alongside the seams after which touched every part up with yet one more coat of paint.

After the entire large tasks have been completed up, I used to be in a position to rehang the framed recipes I had within the room beforehand. 

I needed to tone down the brilliant white of the mat in every body, so I gave the mats a pair fast coats of the primary wall coloration all through our dwelling, Agreeable Grey: 

It is a pretty impartial that ties in properly with the creamy/gold colours within the wallpaper. 

I went backwards and forwards on whether or not or to not set up the identical vertical trim on the primary wall on the left while you stroll in, however finally selected all wallpaper: 

Total I really like the complete wall of wallpaper so I am glad I went with that possibility!

The ultimate element was to color the entire outlet and light-weight change covers. For the change covers, I painted them with the trim paint: 

I love this view now!:

It is mushy and moody, but additionally clear and brilliant! The little touches added a lot element and character to this small area. 

Now I am onto some lovely and useful kitchen updates! I will be sharing these very quickly. 🙂
