Before all of Mom's Homegoods stuff.
Now it's time for my nap!
I'm Katie. Thanks for stopping by my blog. I am an empty nester meandering through my middle-aged years while entangled in the never-ending process of renovating an antique home on the South Shore of Massachusetts. I love to write about books, movies, TV, celebrities, decorating, and weekend adventures. My favorite writing material is derived from my family: the Mister, my girls, #1 and #2, and my two untrainable, rambunctious pups, Chowdah and Chili.

I'm Katie. Thanks for stopping by my blog. I am an empty nester meandering through my midlife years one page at a time. We sold our antique home on the South Shore of Massachusetts in October 2020. We relocated to Dallas and have been spending our time searching for our Forever Home. I love to write about books, movies, TV, celebrities, decorating, and weekend adventures. My favorite writing material, however, is derived from my family: the Mister, my girls, #1 and #2, my favorite son-in-law, and my two untrainable, rambunctious pups, Chowdah and Chili.

Gorgeous!!!! I love what you have done...you tell that mom of yours she did a fabulous job and has earned a well deserved backrub and bottle (oops I mean glass) of wine:)
ReplyDeleteyou had me at blue and white :) simply beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWAIT!!!!! I think I hear ANGELS singing. Or is that just in my mind. No matter because that BUTLER, I mean the MISTER, has on nifty place to uncork those bottles and chop away, if you decide to use the sink. Absolutely beautiful Katie and the valance it the perfect touch. Please thank your Secretary Gypsy for a wonderful post. R
ReplyDeleteThat kitten is beyond adorable!!! And the dog is pretty cute too:)
ReplyDeleteLove how you transformed the room with the blue paint and the open shelves, and the new chandelier that has more crystals!
I couldn't tell the valances were uneven.
Am liking your ice in the sink concept - you crack me up with your dry humor - I hate having workmen in the house too!
It's a beautiful butler's pantry now! Great imagination/vision in transforming it.
What a beautiful butler's pantry!
ReplyDeleteWe are having serious cook's envy over here!! What a fabulous space and it is beautifully decorated! Loving the blue color you have chosen.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!!! Love the way you arranged your shelves and your valance looks great!!! The blue is just stunning....absolutely love it!!! Jealous of all of the storage ;)
ReplyDeleteSo jealous of your space ! I think have a hoarding problem with anything to do with platters, plates and bowls !
ReplyDeleteAhhhh...what a gorgeous room! I would LOVE a butler's pantry!!
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely week! xoxo
Gypsy, could you please drag me in to see your Mom's home in person? Haven't seen a thing I don't LOVE! BTW which is her favorite HomeGoods?

Hi Denise! I am starting to fall in love with the one in Plymouth because of the parking. Exit 14 is great but the parking lot is treacherous. Have a great week!
DeleteOoohhhhh!!! There is a tremendous chance our paths will cross! See you when the sun is shining and the temps are decidedly higher.

That room looks awesome & I love that blue paint! Karen
ReplyDeleteLooks great Katie! I like those open shelves and the chandelier is gorgeous. Blue .. can't go wrong with that. I admire your sticking-to-it with all that sewing.. I would not have the patience. xxL
