What to do with a built-in wine rack when you don’t drink or keep a stash on hand?
I thing the builder could have come up with a more universal use for this skinny spot beside the vertical pullout spice rack in our island. Perhaps a cookie sheet, roast pan, cutting board cabinet would have been more practical.
But, a girls gotta do what a […]
When upcycling my poorly manufactured kitchen, I decided to add a few architectural elements to add visual interest and make the kitchen feel high-end. As you can see in the second photo the original espresso stained finish was not applied properly and was chipping and peeling on every door and drawer. Although chippy paint and […]
Q – ”Bridget, I noticed you have an old Teacup shelf at the end of your island. It looks really busy. I thought Feng Shui is about less is more?”
A – ”Clear You Clutter with Feng Shui by Karen Kingston” is a Feng Shui practice and one of the first steps to excellent Feng Shui. It does not mean that your home has […]
In September I was asked to share small kitchen storage solutions, and although I’m a month late here, you go.
As you’ve seen in my kitchen series, I like to use vintage canisters for my everyday dry goods such as porage, rice, coffee, sugar and the like.
Although I love my thrifted copper lid canisters, the seal on them is not that great, so, for now, I’ve put my dry […]
So I just had this conversation and thought hmmm, I might have to clarify a misconception as sometimes folks don’t see all my posts and may have missed the ones when I’ve shared that although I’m sharing my DIY weekend projects, I am very much still working with clients during the […]
My mama taught us that plants did best when you played classical music so I’m gonna give these babies some happy music to help them get over the shock of being neglected for the past few months. It’s not like I’ve not watered them at all, it’s just […]
Although I remember my grandpa giving his beautiful and healthy plants cold coffee I’ve never tried it myself until this summer. Even with my shameful neglect, I think the odd time I did give them a drink of the leftover cold coffee from our French Press gave them the boost they needed.
They have inspite of […]
Shame! I’ve been a bad plant mama. With all the DIY projects I’ve been up to I’ve neglected to pay attention to my sweet babies.
I am so grateful I didn’t kill any but I did let them feel neglected and weepy for a time. For years, Sunday evenings after Family Dinner has been our watering and nurturing time. But […]
After
I’ve had several requests to post individual photos of my DIY kitchen remodel and quite a few questions about my thinking behind the project. As promised, I’ll be doing so over the next few days and breaking down the inspiration behind each stage as I do.
From a Feng Shui perspective, white or bone colour kitchens are considered best as they represent a sterile, […]
It took a week but I’m in love with this DIY. I bought these stools off the Canadian version of Craig’s List for $50.00 for the pair.
They were too tall at bar height and a bit beat up with the cane broken on one. So I made a […]
