Lol take a shot everytime Raven says “Zoe”, so great to see you showing her so much appreciation and it’s already apparent she is helping out so much and alleviating some of the stresses!
Can I also say...I love how your mom is your mom, but she totally respects you and what you want. I love the vibe you two share. Your mom understands the assignment. You're so blessed to have her.
Sending Healing Energy &Prayers 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 I know how it is first hand my Mom is battling for the 2nd time! Just know that You’ve Got this Stay Lifted 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Also tip! 24:19 When cutting with an x-acto knife you should use a metal ruler instead of the graph ruler (use the graph to draw your lines first). The metal ruler gives you a hard edge to push the knife up against to ensure you get a sharp/straight edge Learned this in art school!
The pantry upgrade looks amazing, can’t wait for the big upgrade! I was actually gonna say maybe you should spray paint the lids. I think if you spray it black and seal it with a clear coat, as long as you’re keeping wrapped food, it should work perfectly 💖
Raven dumping clothes off at Goodwill is a good thing. The people that work at the Goodwill stores sometimes are low income or have battled substance abuse. The money the store earns pays their salaries and it gives them a fresh start
While I wasn't aware of this, on a more sustainable side of things it would be better to go to a local shelter or thrift shop as goodwill is well known and has a lot of clothes that they throw away anyway.
Hi Rayven I work as a Tree Mitigation Specialist in Insurance and we deal with subsidence issues. Did you get a site investigation done to see what kind of soil the foundation is on and whether there are roots for any of your trees under the foundation. When it’s really hot high moisture trees suck all the water out the ground and causes the foundation to move which leads to cracking in the walls. This usually happens in the hotter months. If it’s a subsidence issue the cracks will close in the winter when the ground is wetter. Get a soil test to see if the soils beneath the foundation has clay. If it’s subsidence those cracks will reappear when it gets very hot. You can also have an arborist come out to see if any of your trees or trees nearby may possibly be affecting your foundation.
For the labels on the baskets, you can spray paint the clips white if the black is bugging you. Another option would be inverting the label design but keeping the same font (black background with white text instead of white background with black text). It would still look cohesive this way, I think. Either way such a fun video. I love organizing videos, especially with Chef Toni. And your assistant seems awesome! 💕
Yaaaall if I've said it once, I'll say it again but, a Virgo who has all the help that she needs is a POWERFUL force of nature!! Exhibit Queen Bey and our beloved Raven!! I'm obsessed with the booming productivity and here for all the things, yes ma'am 👏😌✨🔥
I have just swapped my labels to a similar one to your new ones I too had a similar font that my sister did on her cricut 2 years ago and finally someone else who is meticulous about the labels not just being straight but being the correct height also thanks for highlighting the fact the plastic mini bottles warped in the dishwasher I literally was ordered some and went for the glass ones instead you saved my pocket and yes my entire top shelf of my fridge has your drinks dispenser and I live in the uk and it blows peoples minds when they see my pantry and fridge organisation thank you for all the inspiration since 2020 your the GOAT when it comes to this stuff
Love to see Zoe coming in and giving you all the relief you were looking for! ❤ The pantry makeover looks so good! Spray painting the lids of the top jars sounds completely reasonable. Spark joy girly!
Yayyyyy!!! Congrats on the personal assistant. I’m so happy for you! I know it was so needed. I’m glad you are getting that help because you do A LOT. ♥️♥️
*with Ravens wants, personality and, capability of having whatever she wants, ZOEY, GET READY GIRLFRIEND! YOU GOTTA A NON STOP JOB!* *but, Raven is def going to give Zoey her props and rest get well and respect her as a employee* *That makes me little Raven diy Superman 💜 so happy*
The new organization looks great in the pantry! Also, I agree that re-doing the cabinetry would elevate it since you’d be able to conceal necessary but not so elegant items like toilet paper and vacuum accessories. For the Galantine’s party, I think asking guests to bring 5 items would be fine as long as there was an agreed upon cost limit that everyone was comfortable with. Glad your new year is up to a productive start, Raven! Congrats on your fancy event coming up and I wish you continued success in 2023!
you should sell your label design on Etsy! enjoyed this content. would love to see you do even more things outside the home - and an update on the rental property!!
Your theme parties are officially a goal of mine! I love a matching pajama thing but a matcha moment for me is always a vibe. ❤. Thanks for always inspiring
Your labels look amazing! FYI your Cricut has a feature called Print and Cut and the results are perfectly, impeccable! I loved how my labels turned out. And you do not have to print on your home printer to do it. You can print them out elsewhere then cut them out with your Cricut. There’s many tutorials on YT to learn how…but I’d be happy to help you with that in the future via FT or email. Just wanted to let you know about one of the best features a Cricut has to offer us DIYers 😊Love all your videos
The details of it all! I’m looking at houses now and having a pantry to organize like this is one of the main goals😊 And YES for the black spray painting of the lids.
Yes, go one and spray paint the lids with non-toxic spray. Pantry is looking good. I'm so glad you found someone you could trust and did a great job! Smaller gatherings are great! Good idea for the theme. If it's a spa theme, everyone brings a spa item, self care item, leisure theme, favorite makeup item, skin care item, etc. Favorite wine. Lol, i can go on and on. Have fun.
I think the pantry looks beautiful. More sleek and organized with the new containers and labels for sure. I agree that the shelving is the thing that isn't helping the aesthetic shine so your future pantry revamp is going to make a world of difference💖
Zoe sounds like a super organizer on top of assistant! Love that you finally found someone to help you in 2023! Also new build's always have that problem. Super annoying. The nails in my wood floors started to rise and I got the cracks in the ceilings. I freaked out just like you.
Im a virgo and totally understand when things aren’t the way you want them , and will not stop until it’s right . Like the way you organized things. Inspired me to do some organizing.
OooH Raven! Know how you feel with the "settling cracks" that show up after you build a home. This can happen for years. I built my home 7 years ago and still get some settling cracks from time to time. Been having a crew come in every 2 years...🙄 And yes....love the Girls Galantine idea for gift exchange (gift presents that make the ladies feel loved, beautiful and special!)
Love it Raven. 😀 Definitely an improvement. ❤ Just spray paint the top only of the jars matte black, not the underside since they are for food. Thanks for sharing. 😁
I like the sharing the favorite items for Galintines . You can call it “sharing or spreading love” since it’s items what they love and their sharing it with others, or something of the nature
You go lil sis! Glad she’s been so helpful, and as someone whose been a nanny, glad to see you so appreciative and open about the help that makes your family and life work! 💖
DEFINITELY go for the pantry remodel. Add a countertop, section for the wine/alcohol, drawers for the snacks, closed cabinets for the entertainment stuff and overflow of pantry food, cute serving bowls on display etc
Raven, your pantry is amazing 💕 I love the upgrade. I was also thinking that you could spay the lids. Since you have wrapped candies inside, it should be fine. I love watching your videos. You really give me inspiration on organising, clearing out and decorating. Thanks for sharing 🤗 xo
We love Zoey! So happy that you have an additional set of hands. Yaaaass to the Galentine’s Day party. I can’t want to see. The Pantry looks great! I was going to suggest spray painting the lids. I say go for it!
Love that you have Zoey, love the new pantry! You could totally spray paint the outside of the lids black just don’t do the underside and they will be fine! Black is timeless and is my all time fave color!
Valentines themed loungewear or gowns and cute socks would be really nice. I think the "favorite thing" gift exchange is super fun! I would love that! Create a fun "love" game for single women to share. Ask questions and have them answer in the video. That would be super fun! Relationships can be complicated, and it's a great topic! Maybe have the women share their five must haves in a relationship. And their 5 deal breakers. Their love language. Sounds like fun (I'm an event planner by the way! Lol)! Wish I was close by (I'm not)! I wanna come! hahaha!
Yes, I would spray paint the tops. Well done Raven. Hey Zoey, enjoy the ride! Oh, and I like the gift exchange idea, sounds like alot of fun and WE ALL love taking home gifts!!
You could do like a a theme color that everyone comes in, that way everyone will be uniform but can put their own twist on the outfit (what me and my friends are doing for valentines) or pink/red hair would be fun!
Hi Raven, Your pantry looks great! Go for it, spray the top shelf lids black. What about moving the glass containers back more (so they don't fall off) & add more space between each food group the way the shelf is divided? Congrats on Zoe's assistance! Awesome job🥰
I really like the changes you made to the pantry looks more mature if a pantry can be that lol. Also love that Zoe is should a big help to make things less stressful.
Connecting directly to printer via ethernet cord prints labels the best. I learned this years ago printing labels for luxury milk soap I did for a local raw dairy.
Raven I’m glad you found a new assistant, Zoe is soo helpful! 🙌🏾💕 Loving the pantry organization! I really like the glass containers and the new labels, they look modern and beautiful! As always, your mom is soo helpful. ⭐️💛 The lids would look nice if you spray painted them black but just use a non toxic spray. It’s up to you, everything looks amazing! 😍 For the Valentine’s party, I think matching PJ’s would look nice.
So satisfying to watch and looks super nice and organized! Also congrats on the new PA! You deserve. Future reference, Canva has a feature where you can have your labels printed at Fedex straight from the app!
Raven I like how your pantry turned out… I am a Virgo also and a teacher so organization and perfection are my middle names!!! Yes and lists are my thing!!! Thanks for the inspiration to tackle my pantry it’s small but I want it prettier!!!
Pantry: Spray paint the tops of the containers on the top/1st row the same wood color as the containers on the 2nd row, not black. The same color will aid in keeping the cohesive look you’re wanting.
Fellow Virgo ♍️ here and organizing is my happy place. Regardless of what ppl say about my need for everything to have its place, I take it as a compliment cause guess who always says they wish they could do the same
I need a Zoe in my life. Love that you have help now and love how the pantry turned out could watch this all day long. Before you even said it I thought Raven spray paint the lids black
Beautiful, I love it. Also, the good idea is to write at the bottom when it expires or when even cut the expiration day and add it to the base with clear tape so that no one can see it; just an idea, everything looks beautiful; if you are not doing the other improved just yet, also wallpaper if you like, this is just suggestion I think it seems excellent as is. Your assistant is doing a great job!!!!
Don’t overthink the Galentine party, maybe just have a game where you ask your guest questions about you, something hard and adding a twist to it, the one who gets the most could get a gift basket. Orr you have each guest bring in their favorite color item to the party, for instance; if you love pink then you would do all pink food, candy, drinks, appetizers etc., and you can play a game pertaining to each color that’s at the party. Everything looks amazing!!
I absolutely love the new pantry look! I definitely think the matte black painting the lids would make it look even better! You make me want to do my pantry all organized!
I love how you always update your home and while personally I would not do all you do bc I am lazy and would just live with it I definitely appreciate how extra you are for all your projects especially when you did the numbers on the jars 😂 I wish I could be like you btw loved seeing you involve your daughter in the restocking the pantry 😊
yes spray paint and seal the jar lids !!! everything is coming together so nicely it is the little details that count but nobody notices them but you Raven LOL anything you pick is going to look magazine worthy
The galentines idea is cool. Everybody bring something to make a whole thing. I used to do that in high school with my friends. That way we all get like a balloon, candy & stuffed animal.
