Dining room chandelier DIY

  • Moving day into this house a little over six years ago was a hectic day. All moving days are hectic yes, but this one was frustratingly hectic. I was given the keys to the house (you know, which means it's yours...) drove an hour from our city house with a car loaded to the tits and poor Hermann-Maier on the front seat. Note: 110 pound dogs don't like the front seat. They don't fit. They have t[...]

  • Help me Love My Laundry Room

  • 6 months ago
  • The kitchen is now bright and sunny.  The chairs in the dining room are simply fabulous, and now the latest upgrade our multi-purpose kitchen/dining/ and laundry, yes laundry room! received is an Electrolux Laundry IQ-Touch™ washer and dryer in the titanium colour option.  I can’t tell you how life altering these beautiful creatures are.  Actually, I can – but in a moment. Did you ever spy the [...]

  • 6 months ago
  • We used to have the funnest dining room chairs around.  I gave them a full make over this weekend, and they are no longer fun.  They are fabulous.  But let’s start at the beginning.  When we moved into this big house six years ago, we had four chairs.  Four chairs are not enough for big house dinner parties.  Also in the ‘not enough’ category were funds for new chairs…. Until DH called [...]

  • Kitchen revamp reveal: PARAPaints Plantain Chips PF52

  • 7 months ago
  • It's done! Our entire open concept kitchen/dining room is now a fabulously bright and cheery yellow, PARA Paints' colour of the year Plantain Chips PF52 ! This project took a lot longer than I would ideally like...but that's life! Instead of being home painting, I was either eating alligator for the first time in Atlanta or falling in love with watermelon mojitos in Mexico, so really I'm okay with[...]

  • 7 months ago
  • Three weeks ago five fabulous gallons of PARA paint arrived and I was itching to get started on the kitchen re-vamp project ....sadly, that little thing that pays my mortgage - you know, those pesky job thingys? well, it got in the way as I had to head away for work. Flash forward to today, and yet again I'm packing up and headed away for work. And yet again, I'm just ITCHING to get finished. I[...]

  • File under 'Awesome': #GuelphBlogBrunch

  • My Sundays usually start out quite lovely, but this past Sunday had more in store...and it was awesome. I joined the first (of what I know will be many more) #GuelphBlogBrunch. Heather over at heartheather was the delightful human being behind this get-together - you must go check out her post (and super FAB photos - she's got a great eye!) - and to her I am ever grateful. The six of us met at [...]
Packing an easy picnic and what plumbing had to do with it
 

  • Packing an easy picnic and what plumbing had to do with it

  • 1 year ago
  • Last week we experienced some adventures in plumbing. As I've mentioned before, this is an old house....but, let's start at the beginning. A few weeks ago our kitchen sink decided to stop draining - well, it went really slowly and it left the sink a mess after doing the dishes. So...we called a plumber. It's amazing how exciting this was to me, mostly because I got a fancy new faucet for m[...]
Fiestaware obsessed
 

  • Fiestaware obsessed

  • 1 year ago
  • I have an obsession with dishes. This may be putting it mildly. There is more than one complete set in our house, and I'm guessing I have enough plates to serve 70 people+. So, yes, a mild obsession. Other people get to stock their cupboards with sippy cups, I get the fun stuff:) Some of my favourites are my Fiestaware. It's the bright colours, the way they mix and match, the way a [...]
Fabulous food in Japan
 

  • Fabulous food in Japan

  • 2 years ago
  • It’s been over a week since my last meal in Japan, but I can still taste it. It was that good. In fact, all the meals I enjoyed were fantastic. The most uninspiring meal I had all day (and this is saying something) was my breakfast: a bowl of freshly cut grapefruit, orange, pineapple, and mango. Usually accompanied by a freshly made waffle with Canadian maple syrup. It was a great meal, but nothin[...]
