Our Home Renovation | Pantry Edition

Thursday came way too fast this week!
I think I have been operating a day behind in my mind all week.
Since it is Thursday, it is time for another look our home reno project.

The house itself is currently at that stage where little things here and there are getting done, but it isn't noticeable enough for pictures.

So I figured I would share some more ideas and inspiration we have for one of the rooms.

Today is all about the Pantry!

It won't be excessively big, but you will be able to walk in the space.
Is it weird that I am fairly excited for this area?
The original "pantry" in our home was not meant for much other than cans and some small containers/boxes.
While it was nice to have the designated space in the kitchen, it just didn't work for us.
But in our new design we added a walk in pantry that will be able to house #allthethings :)

It will look pretty similar to the photo below with shelves running the length of one full wall and wrapping around the end.



There will be a full size window in the pantry as well since it sits on an exterior wall.

At this time it will be all open shelving - no drawers or cabinet doors.
However, there will be counter space under the window (like the above photo) for our microwave and such.

Since the window is in there, we are leaning toward a hammered glass paneled door in black to let some of the light shine through.

I can't wait to be able to have all of my crock pots, party supplies, etc. all in one place!

I would love to hear your suggestions on anything I need to make sure is in my pantry!

Fall Finds | What's in my online shopping bag

Today I thought I would share what I currently have sitting in my online shopping bags just waiting for me to hit submit (and for my bank account to see a higher number 😉).

My Amazon cart has so many sweaters and graphic tees!
I think this long camo cardigan would be super cute this fall!

This colorblock sweater is an NSALE dupe!
I like the neutrals in this one, but I have the gray and brown options in my cart too!

I actually have quite a few original concert tees from the 80's and 90's, so I love that they are so in right now!
How could I not add another to my collection?
Love this Guns - N - Roses one!

Walmart is killin' it these days!
I highly recommend checking out your local store too, because a lot of what I find doesn't seem to show up online (and vice versa).

This super cute this leopard sweater might be in your store, but currently it is only online near me.
So trendy right now....and did I mention it is under $17?!?!

Can you ever have enough cognac ish booties?
I mean...every cognac is a little different ;)
These will go with everything this Fall!

Another site that I tend to want #allthethings this time of year is Jane.

I find so many fun graphic tees through their daily deals.

They don't stick around for long, so my cart expires after a few days :(

But if you are looking for some fun Fall tees, head there now!

From Autumn to Halloween, to Football, etc.

I actually have a few headed my way very soon ;)

Honestly, these days I haven't found much that I really like from other retailers.
I actually shopped the Nordstrom sale in July, but sent everything back because I wasn't in love with any of it.

Where are you shopping lately?
What items are in your online shopping bags?
