How To Choose Pendant Lights For A Kitchen

Guys, I owe you the scoop on our kitchen lighting (lots of you have been asking - sorry!). In terms of the lighting in our house, we had to come up with a plan with our electrician in the early reno stages. Of course we were putting potlights throughout, but I'm really not one for going potlight crazy. Have you noticed that a lot of new homes these days have a zillion potlights everywhere and no ...

Installing A Subway Tile Backsplash in Our Kitchen

Today I'm sharing the scoop on our backsplash tile in the kitchen. As our kitchen was coming together, I really hadn't settled on a backsplash. My dream backsplash is one large slab of marble (like this, and this). I love the strong veining and the impact it has on a room. The cost of that option though, was totally out of the budget.

Let's chat kitchen countertops. Specifically, quartz that look like marble - that gorgeous gray and white carrara marble. During our own kitchen renovation, choosing the countertops was just about the hardest decision. Here we were below, after doing our IKEA cabinetry install, but still countertop-less... Happily, what we ended up with was the kitchen of my dreams! Want to get the ... View the Post

The Best Budget Friendly Moroccan Rug

You probably noticed in the post about the fireplace built-in's earlier this week the new rug we have in our living room. Let me back up and tell you a little about it, m'kay? For a long while now I have lusted after those Moroccan style rugs that we've all been spotting all over design magazines, blogs, websites, etc. You know, the ones that are a bit shaggy, are creamy coloured, and have some ...
