Baking corner {One Room Challenge} week five

This is week 5 of the One Room Challenge! I am working on transforming a corner of my kitchen in a baking corner. Well this weekend was good fun with dressing up and partying for Halloween. I was a steampunk Cinderella and we hosted a fun party with yummy food. But as far as the challenge goes, it was a bust!

Pretty much the only thing I have to show is the accessories I purchased to decorate the new and improve baking corner! The pie sign is from World Market and the 2 sizes glass containers are from IKEA. I added a label from chalkboard contact paper (from Amazon, I think). While I do not have much to show, I did start working on the floating shelves for my new containers.

It is a very slow process as I am making it up as I go along.... Right, probably not the best way, but it is a small corner with very few studs! Overall I am inspired by this tutorial from Shanty 2 Chic. I am using 1x2 (and 2x2) for the base, the facing will be 1x3. The top will be a L shape cut piece of MDF. Since it is so small (20x18, and 6 inches deep) I thought a thinner shelf would be better. I have pulled on the wood, it is holding on tight! It should not take this long ...unfortunately my work area is in the basement, so there are a lot of up and down the stairs for this project,  it can also be considered a work out! There are quite a few things for me to finish this week/week end: -finish the first shelf -make another shelf above the first one, may be less wide -install some countertop -make everything pretty...
But I believe it will happen, after all this kitchen has already came up from a long way:

and with the marble backsplash:



PS: Another challenge for this weekend: Lucketts has its Holiday open house (I went last year, and it was awesome!) and Chartreuse is also open,  so it is a twofer, Saturday will be super busy!
