My dream pantry...almost!

First I have to apologize for keeping you hanging...we found out this afternoon our toddler has pneumonia (!!) so we have been dealing with doc and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">pharmacy visits</span>, breathing treatments, phone calls, etc., all night. He's only got a cough and otherwise is great...we just feel so awful for him. AND I'm supposed to go on a trip out of town this weekend and now I'm not sure if it will happen...time will tell. I hope he gets better quickly! My poor baby...<br /><br /><br /><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Anyhoo</span>...last year started my quest to have a <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">GORG</span> pantry. Don't ask me why. I obsess about the little things. I want to get a new door with glass panes...but with the seedy glass in them so you can't really see everything inside. I want a light installed at the top of the pantry (WHY don't we think of these things when we build our homes???) so when the lights are off in the kitchen, I can just turn that on and it will just glow...sigh. I see it all in my mind. I'm weird, I know.<br /><br />BUT that takes lots of money...<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">soooooo</span> onto the new plan. I saw <a href="http://mysweetsavannah.blogspot.com/2009/01/new-organized-pantry.html"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">Melaine's</span></a> new organized pantry last week and it put me into a tizzy. I HAD TO HAVE IT. So I started my thrifty <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">sleuthing</span> and figured out a way...<br /><br />I found some big <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">honkin</span>' glass containers that were perfect for my quest at Hob Lob early this week. I stood in the aisle staring at them for about 15 minutes because they were $8 and not on sale. Should I?? Shouldn't I?? I decided to be patient and wait till they went on sale. But then I went to the Deals store and there they were. For $5. OK, still not a great deal, but better. And no more delayed gratification! So I grabbed one, thinking I'd see how they worked.<br /><br />Got to the checkout and she says, that will be $1 something...I said WHAT HUH?? And asked about the big $5.00 tag on them and she said, nope they are ringing up at a dollar!<br /><br />Good God woman, I love you!!<br /><br />Before she could change her mind, I said real quick and quiet (so the manager wouldn't hear) -- can you add five more on please??? I went back (fast.) and scooped up five more, blew a kiss to the cashier on the way back out and SKIPPED OUT THE DOOR. <em>Whew. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">hoo</span></em>.<br /><br />I went ape crazy when I got home...and turned this:<br /><br /><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5293958702397287170" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyQrn0uS7sNHG0irHS9E3eYDQMLgJ9zPp_H2iv2-VpYYXXS0MzUJzp2N9X2zeiPc9PQBkR_8DFFXTH2SVLoWB9v9EiQScw_leIMaYY6DJRcEKdCiTlzYb4rn3atVEprpH5yQ_qlGZIQzvy/s400/DSC07562.JPG" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" /><br /><br />Into this:<br /><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnip5Kqdm3xKJnxfuQqVMPBEIJT1ypUZMmgTf4iWT7WE8jB7SgBWlkYXBSgjQK6X4HgvXAxzoTyiAsEvPXWoQrKREni0mHjL9cccZGiAfbufJt8T0e4ZxoJfJ8gveDv-LZFIwyVT1_AxFj/s1600-h/DSC07566.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5293958708972948642" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnip5Kqdm3xKJnxfuQqVMPBEIJT1ypUZMmgTf4iWT7WE8jB7SgBWlkYXBSgjQK6X4HgvXAxzoTyiAsEvPXWoQrKREni0mHjL9cccZGiAfbufJt8T0e4ZxoJfJ8gveDv-LZFIwyVT1_AxFj/s400/DSC07566.JPG" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" /></a> The skies open up...birds sing...</p><p>Later that day, I went back for more. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">DRATS</span> they had fixed the price!! But the kind checkout lady pointed to some huge <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">honkin</span>' plastic containers that were a dollar as well and the skies opened up again. They were PERFECT for the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">snacky</span> foods my son eats. This way he can get to them and not have to pick up a five pound glass container. (This is good. Things happen for a reason.)</p><p>Then I went to <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">Lowe's</span> and got a piece of plywood cut into five shelves. Got some shelf liner and covered them and just laid them on top of the wire shelves (I. hate. wire. shelves.) and this is the result:<br /></p><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimf0_yV1GtN2XEouOzgmzs_Ot65FPJ6luqSU5RTodrFIfvmCXZynkZIoS93YtqS2ZbArRDkvpjInQF-u2iMetThE0_g_Wb9Z49snOo2B2YJy-4tHJ1_sPgDik7mbHMUsPsWBwAkhdH8dPO/s1600-h/DSC07581.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5293958699893618738" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimf0_yV1GtN2XEouOzgmzs_Ot65FPJ6luqSU5RTodrFIfvmCXZynkZIoS93YtqS2ZbArRDkvpjInQF-u2iMetThE0_g_Wb9Z49snOo2B2YJy-4tHJ1_sPgDik7mbHMUsPsWBwAkhdH8dPO/s400/DSC07581.JPG" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 285px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" /></a>Do you hear singing?

An organization tease

So I realized after Aimee commented on my last title that it sounded like I was gettin' a little frisky with you all...with my "Valentine <em>quickie</em>."

I only have ten more minutes of work to finish up...but the way I roll -- ten minutes will turn into two hours. </p><p>So I'm going to bed...but any guesses on this one? (I'm sure the out-of-focus, too close-up, dark picture really helps you out.) I'll post it tomorrow! Good night!</p>

Rang Decor Readers' Creative Spaces: II

<strong>Shalini Bahadur</strong><br /><div><div>Shalini is a freelance writer and researcher. Today she shares a few creative corners from her serene oasis in Dubai. <img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5293221088057396274" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgg7zz9sQ8svVmin7bNq3UJGEiZr4tq_FRYwuGFSO5kWt49-YnZ1vJbc4TVZg3UeFGRM-WPpJ1tugLFmUDmtT52xevSeAfzW-h0hMVyvoUX6C8z-8zVes1afnLsvmM55eAsXt_Mzn6VmCKl/s400/Living+room+close-up.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; width: 300px; cursor: pointer; height: 400px; text-align: center;" />She describes her home as contemporary but also individualistic.
