This is definitely my favorite! ❤️ With open s This is definitely my favorite! ❤️
With open shelving in our kitchen I am always looking for ways to ‘spice’ things up! 😉 @spaceaid_official knew exactly what I needed…beautiful spice jars for the win!  With 19 pages of spice labels included I dare you to have a spice not listed. 😊
This set comes with a system to use in a drawer but I wanted these beauties to be out in the open, because…well, because they’re my favorite! ❤️
You can find this beautiful set of jars in my Amazon storefront under Home Essentials. I’ll also link them in stories later today!

Downsizing doesn’t have to mean LESS, I think it Downsizing doesn’t have to mean LESS, I think it’s much, much MORE!  It’s hard to believe this is the same little kitchen, but it is and I love it! I’m so happy with the decision to paint the brick to look like brick! 
Would you downsize to 1/3 of the space you currently have? Let me know in the comments!

I’m craving color in my life for the warmth and coziness it brings to our home! 
I love the character and charm that brick adds, and when it’s painted brick it’s much easier to see! 👀
I planned on including a photo of the wall all finished, but I hurt my back and can’t get off the couch to clean up the mess! I’ll be up and around soon to show you how it all turned out!

When we decided to sell our home in the valley and When we decided to sell our home in the valley and move to the mountains full-time, downsizing was a must! 
We went from 2600 sq.ft. to 800 sq. ft. which necessitated letting go of Most of our belongings! 
Our first order of business was to maximize the space we had by removing anything that made it feel small. The very first to go were the cornice boxes above the windows (seen in the last photo). This small living room is much more open now but still has a few changes planned that will be made very soon!! 
(Yes that’s Christmas wrapping paper above the curtains, it covers the insulation in the windows to keep out the cold! 🤷🏼‍♀️ I’ll change it, one day!)🤣
Swipe to see what it looked like the first day we saw it (3rd photo) and after we started ripping things out (2nd photo).

Changes are coming to this tiny kitchen of ours! 👏🏻
It’s been through a few changes already and is currently in progress for more! 
The ceiling has been scraped of its popcorn texture and patched,  but still needs painted. If you look closely you’ll see that the light fixture is still waiting to be reattached to the ceiling! 
Swipe to see what it looked like after the first change as well as  before any changes! 😳
Any guesses as to what I’m doing next? 🤔
