There are so very many things to tackle, but I think I am going to focus on the kitchen shelving and the pantry. We have open shelving in both and they both require a purge. The other areas that are screaming at me will have to wait...

The only thing that could improve on this would have been Amy Poehler petting a kitten in by the fireplace.

This is a FANTASTIC neighborhood, too. I rented here for years, but never saw anything this cozy. Very welcoming!

Beautiful! The marble was totally worth the splurge. It's really nice to see the associated costs--thanks for sharing. It had the unexpected effect of making me appreciate my super handy spouse, too. Great that your dad could help! Nothing makes you feel cleaner than getting rid of previous owners bathroom juju.

Oh the Danes! Beautiful space, and making a functional family home is an added challenge! We have a small space + 4 yr old and we are a very close family. Thanks for sharing your home with us!

Terrific! I hope you documented the renovation...that would be a post unto itself.

Well, that didn't work, but they are called "Vintage Style Glass Storage Jar" and have a red metal top. Not the cheapest, but very attractive.

I've been thinking about my pantry and how to rescue it from what has become an unmanageable bulk bin landslide. I like Heidi Swanson's Weck jars in Super Natural Every Day, but the clips look "fiddly". After reading this post, I went looking around for jars. I think these are adorable, found them via amazon:

SO many wonderful touches. Definitely feels like living takes place here. Can you tell us more about the amazing hallway lighting? Your kitchen/dining area is making me swoon. Homey and stylish!

Way to rock a tight budget! I hope there is some strawberry rhubarb pie in your future. My mother in law would love the poster & she is the pie queen...
