More kitchen storage

Who designs a kitchen with only 2 drawers? Seriously is that not ridiculous??? Believe it or not I have lived in this house for 22 years with a kitchen that has only 2 drawers and they aren't even big ones! Of course, along the way I am always looking for storage. Ok, don't judge a girl for her past craftiness! I'm just saying I painted this years ago during my Mary Engelbreit infatuation days. Not that I have anything against Mary, I love her, it's just not right for my space any longer.

This was cute and perfect many years ago for the decor in my house but not so much now. Believe me there will be the day, years from now, who knows sometimes just months, when you will look back on something you made and think what was I thinking??? The important part of the story here is this is giving me 6, SIX more drawers, that is 3 times more than what I already had!

A little sanding and it already looks better, right? This was actually a garage sale find years ago. It's small, I think it is suppose to be for lingerie, at least that is what they told me.

And here she is now! I painted her with Annie Sloan Paint, the color is Provencal. I love this color and as I mentioned before I am all about these Moroccan patterns right now so I found another place I could use one. This is a stencil is made by Martha Stewart.

I lightly sanded the stencil to give it a bit of an aged look and it also helps hide the mess ups if your stencil bled a bit.

And I picked up some new hardware at Hobby Lobby on sale this week and she is ready to be filled up!

What do you think? It's a pretty big improvement huh? And the best part, more space for kitchen junk, oh yea! So, do you have any of those past projects that you are scratchin your head about?
