I’m sure you have seen those Pinterest photos of of spice bottles perfectly lined up and labeled with stickers, and fridges organized into neat little plastic containers. These look beautiful, but let's be real, knowing myself that’s not realistic or an achievable practice for the way my partner and I use the kitchen. So, I'm sharing some tips in this blog post on how I managed to organize my kitchen in a way that's practical and doable for us.

When I first moved into my house, to store my clothing, I set up some filing cabinets and drawers I already had. That said, I knew this was only temporary, and when my partner Elliot moved in with me we decided it was time to upgrade this space to have more storage for both our clothes.

I recently took over the upstairs floor of my house that I used to rent out to a tenant. That said, I now have an extra bedroom for guests to stay in…but its currently pretty bland, only containing a bed and two side tables. I went to the drawing board and started creating a plan. I want the room to be classic and elegant, pretty minimal and all together a simple makeover that I won’t want to change for a long time. That said, all these furniture items in my mood board tend to run really expensive, and I want to do this on a budget, so I am thrifting, DIYing and up cycling some items I already had to pull this off!

So far I’ve renovated my whole house and most of the exterior but one part of the home still needs a little love; the garage! So let’s tackle that in this blog post.

I'm so excited for you guys to see this makeover, it was definitely A LOT to take on! What would you call this? My walk-in closet / basement / landing area?
