creating a basement pantry: the beginning

During our renovation, we had hoped that the basement would be relatively untouched (we renovated it in 2009 and turned it into a basement apartment), but as we sort of expected, things got pretty bad down there. The ceiling had to come down so we could run duct work, our utilities room got moved to a different corner, the kitchen floor had to come up, etc etc. Luckily one area that remained ...

blogger bucket list: check

Yesterday was a big day for me. My first ever published article came out in the Globe & Mail (see it online here)! It is the first in a 5-article series I am writing for them all about our renovation. Can you believe it?! Me. In the Globe & Mail?! [For any readers who aren't familiar with the Globe & Mail, it is the most read newspaper in Canada] Yesterday morning, after dropping ... View the Post

the morning routine + an egg muffin recipe

What does your morning routine look like during the week? I don't know about you guys, but I always feel that morning frazzled rush even though I don't have a traditional job where I need to "clock in" at a certain time. The three of us wake up at the same time, and then Dan and I rotate showers, with Maya running around the bathroom/hallway/bedroom (often opening the shower curtain to peer in at ... View the Post

bathroom design: herringbone tile floor + IKEA vanities

Let's talk bathrooms today. With our bungalow-to-3-story-home renovation/addition currently underway, we are going from having 1 pretty teeny bathroom (remember how we renovated it a few years ago here?) to 3. Talk about luxury! We are leaving our master bathroom to finish until after we have moved in, as we will not need it right away. That way we can wait for good sales and do some of the ...
