A pantry is always a wonderful thing to have, but this one needed a bit of help becoming its best self. With the addition of two shelves, four baskets, and $100 worth of jars, this pantry is now organized, user-friendly, and so soothing. Here are the issues the kitchen’s owner was determined to resolve: “The pantry was just super crowded. There was no system and it was hard to find the item I needed for cooking. Since the pantry is not that deep, there was a limited amount of space.

Camille Styles is a lifestyle blogger who posts swoon-worthy inspiration for just about every facet of life (recipes, fitness, entertaining, design, travel!) — not to mention, she’s a Home Style Expert for Target. So it’s not so surprising that, aside from having one of the most beautiful kitchens we’ve ever seen, she’d also have one of the most organized kitchens we’ve ever seen. Just look at those shelves!

Just the other week, we wrote about a Target cart that’s taking the internet (or, at the very least, the Instant Pot Facebook community) by storm. Turns out, Target sells a round utility cart that’s the perfect size and shape for storing your Instant Pot. (If you haven’t read that story, we’ll wait!) And today, in more Cart News, we bring you yet another smart use for another cart that’s sold at Target.

For someone who doesn’t travel much, I got to go on a lot of fun work trips this year. During the summer, I went to Aldi’s headquarters just outside of Chicago. In September, I went to the Staub factory in Northern France. And just before Thanksgiving, I went to Target’s headquarters in Minneapolis. It was a good year!

This vacation home is in a totally dreamy spot and boasts amazing views, but it had a few issues involving the words “filthy,” “particle board,” “mauve,” and “sagging joists.” The new owners were able to resolve all of these issues in a reasonably affordable and prompt way, thanks in part to standard cabinets ordered online … from Costco!

If you’ve shopped for kitchen cabinets lately, you, like me, may have wondered how to become independently wealthy. So far, I’ve managed to avoid ever having to buy cabinets, but as I come closer to jumping off the high dive into a full reno of our kitchen, it’s gonna have to happen. And I am clearly in the wrong business, because there is some $$$ in cabinets. How much are we talking? Don’t be surprised if it’s tens of thousands of dollars.

Texas-based husband-and-wife team Chip and Joanna Gaines might be best known for their HGTV series, Fixer Upper — where they fix up decrepit old homes, always adding their signature farmhouse style — but among other projects they also own Magnolia Market, a store that sells wares that perfectly embody the couple’s design aesthetic.

Pyrex has a special place in the hearts of cooks, bakers, and vintage collectors across the country, but perhaps unsurprisingly for a company that’s been around for 100 years, it’s particularly special to those who have a personal stake in the production of each piece. During my tour of the Pyrex factory in Charleroi, PA, I spent time chatting with a number of employees from almost every department. As we talked, two things kept coming up over and over.

Who cooks and eats here: Christan Vick and wife Jenna Novic Where: East Atlanta, Georgia See their kitchen: Christan & Jenna’s Blended East Atlanta Kitchen Rent or Own? Own Christan and Jenna’s kitchen is a blend of modern (IKEA cabinets, wire shelving), vintage finds, and family heirlooms.
