My new pantry doors…

October 7, 2012 by April Nicole Fontenot 10 Comments

If you follow me on Instagram, you know that I have slowly been working on decorating our family room and kitchen.  I’ve done some painting which I am still currently working on…The walls are done, but I am working on beefing up and repainting the trim right now, and I’ll be sharing pics once I’ve completed it.  But I am extremely excited about my new pantry doors!  When we first moved in, we put a half louvered bi-fold door on the pantry, and within a couple of months it was broken.  Then, after a couple more months, it was destroyed beyond repair!  I refused to put up another one until the kids were old enough to not bang it up.  Then, pinterest came along and I saw the barn doors that seem to be all the rage now, but my hubby actually came up with his own idea before I ever even got a chance to show them to him.  Basically, they are the barn door style, and I’m pretty impressed that he came up with this idea all on his own (don’t tell him I said that…lol, just kidding!  I already told him how good of a job he did!).  Anyway, here are a couple pics:

 

It’s kind of difficult to get a good pic because of the position of our pantry,  but  I think you get the idea.

 

I really love them.  They are absolutely perfect for the look I am going for!  I can’t wait to share more of what I have planned!!  So, what do you think so far?? I think hubby did an awesome job!

April was born and raised in south Louisiana where she still resides with her husband and their 3 children who she homeschools. Her hobbies include sleeping late, procrastinating, starting complicated DIY projects it takes her ages to complete, buying bikinis she doesn’t need, and finding ways to mildly annoy her husband (see first 4 hobbies). She’s overly opinionated, talks too much and too loud, and refuses to follow the status quo. Her one redeeming quality is she loves fiercely and with reckless abandon. She always fights for truth, and truly believes that the truth will set you free.

    Great job! We need to widen our bathroom door on a budget and a sliding barn style door will be the cheapest way to go–won’t have to rewire!! We only need a few inches to accomadate my wheelchair before it’s essential all the time, so take out the traditional door frame, put in 1X4s. the sliding mechanism in the hall and pray to get a barn-looking door that won’t cost $1,000,000 :-). Hubs isn’t a pro ball player after all. OK, don’t hate me for not liking pro sports.

  • Im so in love with this weather I cannot wait
    2 months ago by aprilnicolefontenot I'm so in love with this weather. I cannot wait until this cold wind is replaced with a warm one, but my grass turned green today and our fig trees is suddenly covered with buds - literally both of these happened overnight. I walked to the mailbox yesterday looking at both and thinking how much I couldn't wait for a little green to make its way through all the grey. Today did not disappoint...  #spring   #springisintheair   #onlylouisiana   #louisiana   #february   #green   #nature   #naturephotography

    2 months ago by aprilnicolefontenot Finally back at it - with some major changes to my workout approach thanks to my umbilical hernia. Weighted Cardio knocked out. Best part of working out at home is no one judges the fuzzy slippers and ugly bun I show up in. . . . .  #workout   #umbilicalhernia   #cardio   #messyhairdontcare   #fuzzyslippers   #pink   #mom   #momlife   #wildflower   #wildflowerlife

    4 months ago by aprilnicolefontenot 2/365; I promise all my pics won't be of books, but what can I say? My new book came today that I am thinking may be the second book we read together in The Purpose Project. Anxious to dive into it and see what it's all about...  #wwphotoaday2018   #ThePurposeProject2018   #books   #photoaday

    4 months ago by aprilnicolefontenot 1/365; Spending this 31° afternoon studying to get ready to lead The Purpose Project next week. A FB community dedicated to growing closer in our relationship with Christ, gaining a better understanding of our God-given purpose, and focusing our priorities in order to fulfill that purpose. On of my passions has always been photography, but like most things in life, I am easily frustrated when progress doesn't come at the pace I believe it should. I let fear of never being good enough take over and give up easily, so I thought why not give this photo a day idea
