Moving Day

After almost two years of living in our apartment we decided to move. Now for those of you who grew up in The City will understand what a huge step this is for us because we are moving to the East Bay, that's right we will be on the other side of the bridge. I'm a little scared and excited and I will have to get used to the weather but what can I do my baby needs a room of his own. Our living room was essentially the baby room which I was fine with until we had guests over and we said one to many times, sorry for the toys the little guy was playing. I'm glad my family and friends are understanding but I did miss out on the whole decorate the babies room when I was pregnant. Anyhow, I just wanted to share that my craft room is in boxes and I have no clue where anything is at the moment but it didn't stop me from taking on new projects. After all a move is a great excuse to try new things right? I think it is.
 So today was a trip to Home Depot, love that place, and I found pipes to make a little industrial hanging rod for my pots. The kitchen is a bit small but it's nothing a little creativity can't overcome. I have one wall in the kitchen that is open just screaming "organize me!" so who am I to say no. I got the idea from Pinterest and was surprised how simple it was to put together, and it cost about the same as a premade shelf from ikea. I like the look of the pipes and think it matches well with the cabinet handles.
Oh, as a bonus while I was wondering through the aisles of Home Depot looking for someone who works there I ran across these tubes that keep your pipes warm and instantly thought of my winter boots. It's really warm here in sunny California so naturally my boots spend more time in the closet than on my feet. I like that the pipe warmers are grey so they won't stand out so much when they're keeping the boots standing up right. Wow, two projects in one trip I feel very productive, now if I could only find someone who works there and they could point me to the shelves I was looking for I could organize the pantry. Lol,
happy crafting.
