miss gracie's house

 Remember my pantry project?

part 1

from here 

to here

next, we moved on to part 2

I showed you this corner

it was even less efficient 

this was where stuff  was piled on the floor

and 

remember 

how I told you 

that the only, original sink was in the  pantry?

There it is..under that piece of sheeting. 

We put it  there to add a bit of extra counter space.

purty, isn't it?

Really now, I had a hard time with this

Don't we all want  farm sinks, right now?

 Those that know me

know that

i.am.a.purist.

especially, when it comes to old stuff .

But, girls, I am on a mission

to finish this house and clean it up.

The sink did not help me to reach those goals.

If I wanted to get that stuff off of the floor,

the sink had to go.

(It's not gone forever...I am still brainstorming

for another place to put it)

I moved in this bookcase

It is an old one that I picked  at Stars

and have moved it all over  the house

trying to find a good home for it.

It fits perfectly here.

I will probably find a small microwave that will fit  on the shelf.

After the storage was complete

I could move on to what I really love to do.

Playing with pretties.

 a window treatment I'm playing around with

I used a vintage apron

 a collection of mini white ironstone pitchers

 The chair landed there by accident.

I needed something to stand on

and 

once it was there

I really liked it...

We'll see if it is in the way or not.

 I want to show you my sweet cake box 

I found thrifting 

a couple of years ago.

"She is dressed for a ball, awaiting Werther, and he arrives to find her in the midst of her young brothers and sisters, cutting bread for their supper."

Aren't those sweet words? 

Just don't look it up on google..the novel isn't so much.

I love  how this space has turned out.

It is so bright, fresh, clean

and

pretty.

It has become one of those spaces that give old houses 

so much charm and character...

Even putting groceries away is fun...for now.

I am almost finished working in the rest of the kitchen.

I'll be back soon to show you all.
