Kitchen Island Tutorial

Today's post is a step by step tutorial on making a miniature island.  The design includes a breakfast bar, a working set of drawers, and space at the ends for optional shelves or design elements.  My design is based on this real-life  kitchen island here .

Happy Mini Canadian Thanksgiving!

Nothing says goodbye to the warm memories of summer like Thanksgiving weekend at the cottage.  A cozy fire, the putting away of docks and boats and one last family dinner overlooking the lake.  This post is definitely inspired by the fall scenery here.

A Place For the Dishes!

Hi Everyone, Another piece has fit into place in my kitchen puzzle. I love these new transparent shelves in the upper cabinets!  They allow just enough light to filter through down to the bottom. After getting the right plastic it took me weeks to find the right too…
