How was your week post-Easter? Did you get more snow? Ugh, we did, for days on end! We have no more on the ground now, but man, has it been cold! Despite the cold weather here, Shelley seems to have been truly spring-inspired with her mantle, which is so fresh and pretty. Maybe it’s because she’s [...]
Due to popular request – namely from my Mom – today we’re sharing a bit of a kitchen progress update! The very first thing we had to do in our kitchen reno was to make the kitchen functional. Kitchen Progress – Dishwasher The kids and I spend our days at home learning and crafting, which [...]
Happy New Year friends! We hope you had a most Merry Christmas and a joyous New Year. We can hardly believe it’s been almost two weeks since we blogged. That’s the longest we’ve ever taken off. After moving only 11 days before Christmas and then hosting family for several days (which was a blast!), we sure [...]
My memory of the whole kitchen planning process is just a little fuzzy - ’cause it’s been over two years since we gutted and redid our kitchen six days after we moved into our run-down little bungalow in a new town! I do know we happily worked with The Home Depot, opting to install everything ourselves with the help [...]
We’ve lived in this house for just about two years. Living here now, we sometimes forget how much our bungalow has changed in that time. So we thought it would be fun to do a little series of before and afters of some of the room that have changed the most. The first before and [...]
Well, it’s mostly updated. Lol. Considering we just re-hauled the entire thing last year, it seems a little silly to be updating it already. But there just simply wasn’t enough… ‘personality’. So we’ve added half-cup pulls on the drawers, track lighting and lighter paint. After some discussion we will be adding pendant lights over the [...]
We have one little window in our cozy and newly renovated 7 foot by 14 foot kitchen. We also have two doorways and a pass-through. Interesting for traffic flow, let me tell ya. But I digress. The one window is actually quite nice to have after several years of not having one at all. But [...]
I got to go to the Showhome! I got to go to the Showhome! The showhome of which I so excitedly speak is the Princess Margaret Welcome Home Sweepstakes Oakville Showhome (a little bit of a mouthful, isn’t it?). The PMH Showhome website describes it this way: The 6,500 square foot dream home, designed by Lynda Reeves [...]
For those of you who haven’t read about our kitchen reno before, you can catch up on the whole process here, here, here and here. If you don’t have time for that, the Reader’s Digest version is that we bought an old house that had a horrible kitchen. Really. Gross. Since we were working with [...]
So the holidays came and went. We visited family and friends. We shopped for paint and tile. We rested a little (but really not much). We enjoyed our kids. January came and we got back to work. We finished installing and levelling the countertops. (The sink actually stayed until the week the counters arrived). While [...]
