Kitchen REorganization...A New Year's Resolution

It's 2013...a NEW year has just begun...and it's another one of my favorite times of the year!  

Why you're wondering? 

Because it's a time of NEW hopes and dreams and resolutions to live a better life than the year before...a time of NEW beginnings...and REORGANIZATION.   

That's right.

REORGANIZATION.

This is exactly what a recent client needed in her kitchen.  

REORGANIZATION.

Everything had just simply "gotten away" from her and she needed help to get her pantry and cabinets back to some kind of functioning order.  

She needed a bit of REorganization, so she called me.

Take a look....

You couldn't really "walk" into this "walk in" pantry anymore...

Look familiar?  If so, I can help.  Seriously.

This corner cabinet housed just about a little of everything...vases, pots and pans, serving platters, tupperware, baking dishes, and a toaster.  FAIL.

This lower cabinet held a second set of dinnerware, lots of mixing bowls, baking pans and few holiday towels?

Again, this lower cabinet was not functioning well...

And neither was this one...

Or this one.

All of this clutter and confusion would make anyone feel frustrated and a bit overwhelmed and lost as how to even begin to tackle this "problem"--sigh.

But not really.

Because as we ALL know, most problems CAN be solved at TARGET.  

Stay tuned for this kitchen's REorganization reveal...

Happy New Year!!

7 Gray -- The Cutest New Shop in Webster Groves

Seven Gray.

This is the name of the newest shop in Webster Groves...and cutest, in my opinion. 

It is owned by my very dear friend, Kim Barnes.  She has worked endless hours to make her dream of opening her very own home accessories store come to life...and I am one of her biggest cheerleaders.  

I have had the pleasure of helping her, along with many other friends and family, get this party started!!!  It has been a true labor of love...so here are just a few photographs of the shop to give you an idea of what SEVEN GRAY is all about.

From the darling logo (thanks to the amazingly talented Beth Barr at Two Blue Doors) with its' chevron striping, bold colored number 7, and the navy blue bird perched on top...

...to its' coordinating chevron striped drum shade pendants and bold colored front door...not to mention the eye catching home accessories such as red and green bottles of varying sizes, colorful table clocks, retro nesting tables, and torqouise stool in the display windows...

...to its' fun and festive sidewalk planter adorned with glittery twigs, fresh magnolia leaves and bright red berries, custom-made holiday bow, and greenery picks with pinecones and bird nests...

...to its' second level display window that is filled with amazing POPS of brightly colored goodies such as this REfurbished coffee table and REpurposed antique wooded boxes, unique throw pillows, interesting clocks, lighted tree branches, and ornaments galore!

Kick off your holiday decorating with loads of sparkly and glittered Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's goods.  

I will be giving you peeks of what is INSIDE Seven Gray all week...so stay tuned.  

Or even better yet, come give Seven Gray a try yourself...it's a true eclectic mix of old and new.

And just in case you were wondering...Seven Gray is located at 7 Gray Avenue (it's a literal translation) right across from Bristol Elementary and on the side of The Block Restaurant in the heart of Downtown Webster Groves.
