I’d been putting off grouting the kitchen tiles, because I knew that it was a messy job. But last week, I decided that it would be the perfect project to keep my busy while Jeff was away for wo...
If you’ve ever tried to cut small pieces out of a tile, you’ll know how amazing this is: My Dad was able to fit those tricky pieces perfectly! Crazy, right? I didn’t even think it would b...
A little bit of kitchen progress to report today… my Dad wired up my new light! I love it! (Jeff says he will ‘probably get used to it.’) Now we can get the tiling finished!
I intended to take a few days off of blogging to finish up my kitchen cabinets and get ready for our family vacation. That was at the end of March! A week turned into two weeks, and now i...
Yep, they’ve been at it again: … a closer look… For the record, the pen actually washed right out! Thank goodness for slipcovers I guess. Have a great weekend everyone!
My kitchen faces south, and is SUPER bright. (Not that I’m complaining.) The problem with all of the light is that it is like a spotlight on all of the imperfections in my cabinet paint j...
Remember in January, when I decided that I needed a big crazy tree for the corner of my living room? Well the coolest thing happened. Not long after I blogged about it, a friend sent me a...
Did everyone watch the Mad Men Season 5 opener on Sunday??? I loved it. The best part was seeing Don and Megan’s new Manhattan apartment. I couldn’t find many pics, but here are a f...
I was so excited when I heard about the AyA “BlogPodium Bound” Contest. AyA Kitchens and Baths is flying one Canadian design blogger to Toronto in May for BlogPodium! After everything tha...
Yay! The doors are almost done. I thought they were totally finished, but when I brought them into the bright sunlight of my kitchen, I realized that a few of them need some touch ups....
I’m totally consumed with door painting. Blogging is on hold until I get done!
We all know that I LOVE a good diy project. Especially if it doesn’t look like a diy. This one is fabulous! My blog buddy Lisa Roy made her own capiz-inspired chandelier with an ornament ...
I’ve been living without a table in the center of our living room all winter: I thought that it would be more functional to have a big open space since the kids play in that room so much. But r...
via It’s SO close to spring… and I’m dying to re-vamp my wardrobe. But I want to be focused this year. I don’t want a lot of clothes, but when I look into my closet I want to know that ev...
The Mad Men Collection for Banana Republic! I want this dress SO bad! I’m also loving this blouse: and the pants: fyi… last round, I got the Betty dress… and for spring they have it in pink! Se...
I’m happy to report that my kitchen is getting brighter every day! Over the weekend, I installed most of the white subway tile. It was going so well, looking so fabulous… (ignore the gaps...
Original art is one of the best ways to elevate the style factor in your home. And guess what? It doesn’t have to cost a fortune. Elaine Song, Web Editor for Style at Home, has put ...
Well, the kitchen is looking a lot brighter and whiter than it was on Friday! Cleaning out my cabinets was probably the best/worst part of the process so far. Best because I was able to d...
Happy Friday everyone! It’s a long weekend in Canada, and the kids are off school next week, so everyone is extra happy today. I’ve been doing a lot of kitchen work this week, and it seem...
Kitchens. It’s all I think about right now. Well, actually, I originally posted the hilarious ‘adult’ valentine card that one of my kids brought home from preschool yesterday. But t...
Today’s post was obviously going to be red. It’s my favourite color after all. And really, when it comes to red interiors, nothing compares to David Hicks’ designs from the ‘60’s and ‘70’...
This has been a good kitchen week! Gone: - old backsplash - the bulk head above the sink and peninsula Still to Go: - the florescent light fixture (I need to find new fixtures first!) Some action sho...
I’m all set to do the final bits of demo in my kitchen this week! Woohoo! The tile is already down (along with big chunks of drywall… oh well.) Tomorrow the bulk-head is coming down...
I love great deals, but I’m usually more on the impulsive side, and don’t tend to shop around or wait for things to go on sale. But guess what… today I found this ‘polygon object’ at Indigo red...
Here’s what I’ve done so far this morning: I transferred all of the clutter off of my countertops and onto the kitchen table. Giving the kitchen a mini-makeover has been on my list for a LONG t...
Monday already? Weekends go too fast! This was a good one, though. We told the kids that we are taking them to Disney World! The big announcement turned out to be more excitin...
It happened again. Twice. My kids have been busy drawing on things that shouldn’t be drawn on. Like floors… … and walls. Seriously. They are TOO. OLD. FOR. THIS. I...
Remember when I painted the interlocking foam mats last summer to use as a temporary area rug??? (See this post for a reminder) Well… somehow, the project totally took off on Pinterest. I...
Can anyone guess my favourite way to transform a room? It’s wallpaper, obvs. I’m a huge fan of wallpaper. Maybe because it’s an instant gratification project. Within hanging a...
When I put together my ‘fugly or fabulous’ post last week, I seriously thought more of you would like the wallpaper murals! I think they are pretty great, so I’m going to try to persuade you on...
