It’s been two weeks since our kitchen reno started and it has been a great experience so far. I love the new cabinets and the storage is seriously life changing.
We are living without a sink or countertop right now but it is really not as bad as I thought it would be. Actually, I kinda love that I have an excuse not to cook so much.
I recently made my television debut {eek!} on Rogers Daytime Toronto to share some creative stocking stuffer ideas that will make every member of the family feel special Christmas morning.
My tips: shop smart: buy gifts online, in large stores like walmart and in one or two trendy shops
I love Christmas. And I admit it: I love getting presents. And because I love getting lots of gifts, I like finding everything at a great price. Then I can get more. Selfish? Maybe. But also smart.
So when Walmart asked me to check out these four small appliances for holiday gifts I was all over it.
We are renovating our ugly kitchen and I have no excuse not to learn how to use something more complicated then my toaster. Plus I want stylish accessories appliances to adorn my beautiful new counters.
I lived in Stockholm for a year and fell in love with Swedish design. These prints, by Therese Sennerholt, are one of my favourite new discoveries. I found them on the site dwelling gawker {which I now also love}.
I'll let the art speak for itself...

Only it’s not the reno part that’s hell. It’s the decision part.
My Own Private I Don’t Know.
Granite or quartz? Hood or over the range microwave? Reduce the window trim or change the cabinet layout? Where exactly on the doors do I want the knobs? And on and on and on......and guess what? I. Don’t. Know.
Tomorrow is the day I have been waiting for. I have lived with the ugliest kitchen ever for five long years. But tomorrow that is all going to change.
We are getting our new kitchen.
Sure, I have not picked out the counters yet {it’s so hard to choose!} and I need to special order some hardware {I am super picky} but the ugly cabinets are getting torn down.
I have a basement full of Christmas decorations but that does not stop me from adding to it every year {much to my husband’s dismay}. Here is my wish list for this year:
Advent calendars are a must have in my house, but I like mine to be pretty. I’d like to add this one from nouveau designs to my collection. It would look so beautiful framed.
Whether it hangs on your front door or temporarily replaces art in your home, a wreath offers an opportunity to introduce nature, your crafty side or a little sparkle. Here is a gorgeous gallery of wreaths to inspire you to deck your walls.
