staircase renovation...creating open living space

Remember this scene…my living room a construction zone as I tackled our staircase renovation ? Well, here’s the update!

fridge makeover - a touch of folk art design for my farmhouse kitchen

  Since the premature death of my beloved industrial fridge (well, actually its extended temporary convalesce, since really we just need to repair its compressor) I have embarked on the search for a satisfying alternative. This is a big challenging for me 🙄 All of the tantalizing fridge options that I love love love are outside of our limited budget (I want to retire before I’m 90!) and  I have an intensive aversion to inserting a big huge rectangular box that I don’t love into my kitchen that I do love… I mean, really, fridges are big huge expensive pieces of ‘furniture’ that grab the focus in the kitchen, so inserting some huge expensive focal point into my very personalize kitchen is not a simple task for me! Plus, none of the options provided enough storage space – our milk and cheese stock alone overwhelms the fridge, never mind the toppling bundles of veggies…so stressful!
