Here it is! The Butler's Pantry, Laundry Room, Wrapping room, Craft room!

What was once a tiny laundry closet, with the only door leading out to the pool, is now one of my favorite spaces in my home.

Vintage Tole Chandelier

Countertops are Caesarstone in London Grey,

Backsplash is custom beadboard

The faucet was saved from my old kitchen while the apron front sink is new. This one is now discontinued, but I found the same brand, similar style kitchen faucet here or bathroom faucet here.

Corbels help add an extra architectural element

I really love to hang dry my clothes but I don't enjoy the space that my old drying rack took. I used the parts from this drying rack and made what you see here!

I love my laundry basket system!

Now, to get the boys to actually put their dirty clothes IN the baskets!!

The huge turtle shell was found by my oldest son. I cleaned it up then shellacked it.

The ribbons are held in the drawer using curtain tension rods.

Acrylic drawers help keep my boys organized.

Yes, I totally spray painted my pencil sharpener!! Isn't it fab?!

Life with five males lends itself to eating a lot of food. Baskets help keep my pantry area organized.

similar baskets here, Large basket HERE, and here

After spending HOURS trying to construct a wooden can holder thingy off Pinterest that ultimately didn't work very well (cans wouldn't roll to the front),

I tried THESE STACKABLE BASKETS

and they were the PERFECT solution!

I love a happy accident.

I have since found THESE and although they are taller, they will work beautifully in a pantry.

Clear Containers

Who doesn't love a pocket door?! This pocket door was the original door that lead out of the laundry room to the pool. It was important to get light into the hallway, so we refinished, converted, and installed it in this location. I think it adds so much charm.

Chinoiserie Love

These gorgeous gold-dipped bowls were made here.

Anthropologie mother of pearl knobs play so well off the French wire cabinets.

I hope you enjoyed this glimpse into my workhorse. Now, back to reality!

I blogged about this recipe many years ago. It has been a favorite of our family's, so I thought with tomato season upon us, I'd share it again!

Roasted Garden Salsa

6 medium tomatoes (plus a few cherry tomatoes from the garden)

4-5 tomatillos

4 garlic cloves (unpeeled)

2 jalepenõ peppers

1 red bell pepper

1 medium white onion (quartered)

Spread ingredients on a foil lined baking pan. Spray with cooking oil and toss to lightly coat.

Roast at 350* for 45 minutes to give the veggies a deep, rich flavor

Finish with a 4-5 minute broil... Watch carefully, remove when veggies start to get slightly charbroiled.

Let cool about 15 minutes.

Peel & core tomatoes. Set aside in a colander to let juices & seeds drain into sink (or save juice for other recipes)

Peel garlic by cutting off the end and just popping it out of the skin.

Peel red pepper. Remove stem, spine, and seeds.

Cut jalepenõ peppers in half lengthwise. Remove spine and seeds. (may want to wear gloves if you are sensitive)

Place all roasted ingredients in a cuisinart.

Add the following ingredients to the cuisinart:

3/4 cup fresh cilantro

1 tablespoon honey

1 1/2 tsp salt

1 tablespoon lime juice

Pulse until desired consistency.

Enjoy!

So it's 65 degrees and raining here today and I have a craving for chocolate! I love a gooey s'more, so I thought I'd whip some up for the boys.

Fire up the stove and roast those marshmallows on up!

Place your graham cracker on top and slide those marshmallows off!

Look at that gooey yummyness

Enjoy!

(and did I mention you won't be smelling like a campfire after making these?!)

I just returned home from a fun blogging conference in Atlanta called Haven. I was able to meet many of my blogging and Instagram friends. It was really so much fun meeting and making new friends!

The Pink Clutch, Krystine Edwards, Dimples and Tangles, Dixie Delights, Honey Haven, Blue-i-Style, and Moi! My phone kept delaying for this photo, so it's a miracle we got one! :)

Dimples and Tangles, Scout & Nimble, The Chronicles of Home, The White Buffalo Styling Co, Cuckoo4Design, Bliss -at Home, Dwellings by Devore, and me

I brought home four little goodie bags of candy for my boys compliments of Scout & Nimble!

(HUGE HIT!)

A darling lunch put on by TideOxi and Procter & Gamble

While at the conference, I told some of my friends about my homemade Caesar Salad Dressing with homemade croutons and everyone wanted the recipe so I thought I would start by sharing it here. This is part 1--The Croutons.

To begin, I use my electric knife and slice up some day old bread... sourdough, french, whatever white bread you have on hand will work. Slices should be cubed about 1" x 1"

Next, I put the cubes in a gallon ziplock bag and drizzle with extra virgin olive oil to lightly coat. Leaving air in the bag, zip it closed and shake the bag to coat the bread with the oil.

Cover a sheet pan with foil and spread the bread cubes on the pan in a single layer.

Lightly sprinkle with kosher salt.

Place in a preheated oven to 350* F. Bake for 20 minutes or until toasted.

Remove from oven and taste a few.... YUM! They should be crunchy all the way through.

Sprinkle croutons on top of salad or soup. Delicious recipes for both coming soon!!

Easy Homemade Croutons by Eleven Gables

2 loaves day old bread

Kosher Salt to taste

Enjoy!

Welcome to the darling world of Euna Mae's.

Euna Mae's is an heirloom kitchen and home goods store located in Springdale, Arkansas just blocks from Highway 49. Springdale is located between Rogers and Fayetteville.

Behind these doors you will find Amy Nelson, the owner of Euna Mae's.

Amy is a mutual friend of my sister-in-law who lives in Rogers, Arkansas. Amy's husband, Sam, was my SIL's Youth Pastor growing up. I started following Amy on Instagram because she posted beautiful photos of her home cooking, usually from her Euna Mae's recipes. Euna Mae is Amy's grandmother.

Upon entering the store, you are greeted with beautiful goodies for your kitchen. I wanted one of each!! I came to pick up a little housewarming goodie for my brother and sister-in-law.
