Small Space Pantry DIY

Happy weekend all! I found this awesome small space DIY that I wanted to share with you..

Us small space dwellers all know how limited space is and we often have to sacrifice delicious things like pantries to accommodate the space we do have. Well now no more! Style Editor, Michael Penney, and Design Editor, Joel Bray, show us how to transform an Ikea wardrobe into a sexy kitchen pantry; perfect for small spaces.

Hemnes Wardrobe from Ikea

S-hooks from Ikea

Push-pin Message Board

For the doors they added a push-pin message board/tea towel holder by covering ceiling tile with natural fabric and double-sided taping it to the inside of the door

Accessorize

Adding cook books, spice jars, baskets and storage containers and the wardrobe is successfully fitted as a pantry. They also had space to store cutlery and plates in the two drawers. Watch the video on House and Home TV.

Wooden Barrel Planter Side Table DIY

This is absolutely genius! I honestly love this guy! I mean com'on Joel... so creative! This is so simple I'm jealous that you thought about it before I did!

House and Home's design editor, Joel Bray, transforms an inexpensive wooden barrel planter into a side/coffee table. Not only is this incredibly easy, it's also ridiculously chic! The possibilities are endless. You could leave the natural wood, white wash it, paint the planter in a stripe pattern... I think you see what I mean... endless.

Small Spaces: Stylish 350 Sq. Ft. Studio Apartment

This is a perfect display of stylish living in a small space! I love seeing great design but I especially love seeing great design in the tinniest of spaces. It's almost like we are a whole community of small space dwellers trying to inject life into these boxes that we live in! This 350 sq. ft. studio apartment, designed by Joel Bray, shows how a studio apartment can be transformed into a fabulous home by being sectioned in to functional areas. Seating for 4, a nice cozy "bedroom" and a perfectly sized kitchen. What else can you ask for? Not to mention he's done it with impeccable style. Joel also uses great tricks to make the studio feel spacious, like the cohesive colour palette and the use of dual function furniture. This makes me feel like moving into a studio apartment just to see what I can do with it!
