From Back Porch to Fab Mud Room Part 1--The Pantry





We've been helping a friend for the past few months on her mudroom.  It started when she wanted to install a new back door.  We helped her pick one up and after spending the day with her, we were as excited as she was about the changes she wanted to make.  The best part was that she really wanted to learn how to do everything so she could make changes to other rooms later on. 

The room started off as pretty much just a room between the driveway and the house. 


She wanted a pine tongue and groove ceiling.  We added 2x4 supports and insulation prior to adding the tongue and groove.  We painted it with watered down white paint before hanging it.








She really wanted a stained concrete floor.  We worked and worked on it to prepare it for concrete, but it turned out that it was going to cost $850 and the guy wouldn't be able to come out for 6-8 weeks...  Onto PLAN B....














 Next came the pantry.  New doors,  new tongue and groove ceiling, lots and lots of shelves... 





 










We put everything in here yesterday and there's still a ton of extra room! 






We found these knobs at Hobby Lobby.


The glass in the door looks beautiful with the sun hitting it.









 We have had so much fun helping her make this into a beautiful room.  Stay tuned for my next post on the rest of the renovation!
Thanks for your visit!

Ice Cream Can Birdhouse

 
 
 
I found this old ice cream maker last month.  My husband is making me a birdhouse out of it (I will post about it soon!) 
 
 So this is what we started with. 



Inside of it, was this rusty metal cylinder. A perfect shape for another birdhouse!

 
He made this cedar roof.
 
And cut off the top.
 
 
 
 
 





I found this metal bird at Hobby Lobby. A little bit of surgery to it and it became the finial.

 
 
 
 

 I used my trusty apple cider vinegar and steel wool process to age it.
 

 
 
 
 
 
I then sent it off to my dear friend Heather for her birthday!
 

 

 
Thanks for your visit!
