kitchen inspiration

It's lunchtime here in real-job world, so I thought I would post a pic I just found that has inspired me to think more about my kitchen.

I have to say, my kitchen isn't bad, but it's not my dream kitchen - that is for sure. I found this kitchen via Isabella and Max Rooms the other day and I love it.

To be honest, it's not entirely different from my kitchen. Ok this is a massive overstatement. I have white cupboards (from 1960), dark grey walls, tumbled stone backsplash and wood floors.

This kitchen is like a grown-up version of mine. The millwork is gorgeous. It has an island. It has a gas stove and marble counters. Yummy.

A new kitchen is definitely on our list, but it's about 10 years down the road I think. I'll just keep this photo in my back pocket for now ;).

Happy Weekend!

the chair games

I came over to my desk to pack up my computer for the office tomorrow and of course I got flipping around through the net, wasting more time when I should really be curled up on my couch reading The Hunger Games. The more I moved from site to site, the more my neck began to strain because the chair I'm using is too high and I'm hunched over. I need a new chair girls and boys (are there boys here?).

This is still my favourite office shot.

I love this chair and would love to find something comfy like it to add to my little desk nook (pics coming soon - I'm almost done adding fixing it up!).

This one is pretty but since the rest of the room is kind of rustic it's likely a bit much

How fun would this be?! (I'm a bit over the chevron thing though...)

Kind of cool and would go with the playroom part of the room (Leo could paint on it and you wouldn't be able to tell! ;))

Just kidding...

This is such a pretty chair - but not for the office (see how I get distracted?)

Ok time to follow-up on what Katniss is up to...

fabric sneak peek

Happy New Year!

I was supposed to go to the movies tonight, but my babysitter (aka Auntie Kaite) was a bit, um hungover today, so I decided to give her a break and catch a matinee tomorrow instead (can't wait to see Mission Impossible 4!).

So instead of going to the movies, I decided to tackle something for one of my 2012 projects - order fabric for my etsy relaunch. What better day to start than January 1st? It takes about three weeks to get the fabric so here's a sneak peek of what I ordered. What do ya think?

Snowy Feathers, by Needlebook (the best part about this one is that the designer is from Toronto!)
