Dream Kitchen Faucet… INSTALLED

July 10, 2013 by Kristin Jackson 18 Comments

So… my hubs… he is a super duper sport when it comes to all of this blog stuff.  He rarely complains, deals with an ever changing home & the messes that come along with all of these projects & luckily for me he tolerates the pink touches I add occasionally.  After nearly two years of blogging, I have never seen him get so excited over the opportunity to review a product.… Read More

Black Kitchen with a Striped Fridge

May 22, 2013 by Kristin Jackson 32 Comments
Everyone loves a good Before & After right?!  Especially one that doesn’t cost a fortune to recreate!  I had a completely different plan in mind for this little dated kitchen going into the project.  All I knew, was that the wood had to go.  Now don’t get me wrong.  I love a good wood (key word “good”) cabinet as much as the next person, but I think I went into wood shock going into the original space.… Read More

Holiday

Black, White & Evergreen

December 5, 2012 by Kristin Jackson 12 Comments

We all know I love sparkle & adding a little of the unexpected during the holidays, but a classic wreath with a simple bow makes me just as happy  This is a look that can’t go wrong (unless you are using ine of those flat plastic premade bows… come on… throw it away!  NOW!!)
I wanted to add a little Christmas into our tiny kitchen, & I knew if I tried to add a little tree or topiary on our non existent counter space the Hub’s would probably just give me the “Really?” look.… Read More

My Little Blogging Corner

August 7, 2012 by Kristin Jackson 16 Comments
As I have said before we have a teeny modest home.  So a lot of our rooms have to play double duty.  Our kitchen has officially become Kitchen/Office… which may not be ideal, but it works for now.  Slowly but surely my little blogging/designing corner is becoming more & more functional thanks to a few new additions.
This is what the space looked like originally… not so functional.… Read More

DIY Brass Bowl Pendant + Kitchen Sneak Peek

July 23, 2012 by Kristin Jackson 53 Comments
Our recent excursion to Goodwill proved quite fruitful… I turned this boring old brass bowl into our new glamoupuss kitchen pendant.  My husband thought I was nuts when I picked it up…
It was pretty, but all bent & warped.  Luckily the metal was thin enough that it could be pushed back into shape.  The hubs drilled a hole through the bottom & we inserted a simple light kit.… Read More

Wine Crate Drawer Fronts

May 15, 2012 by Kristin Jackson 23 Comments
When we first moved into the house, we needed some extra counter space for our tiny kitchen… We had an awkward little corner that we modified an Ikea Forhoja to fit in.  Can we say Basic McBasic?!  
FÖRHÖJA Kitchen cart IKEA Gives you extra storage, utility and work space.

We cut down the butcher block top so that it would fit perfectly in the nook.  It has sat there, functioning ever since.… Read More

THE KITCHEN: PHASE 1

April 2, 2012 by Kristin Jackson 4 Comments
I posted in Goals for 2012 that we will be updating our kitchen this year with a very small budget.  Ya’ll know that I am all about getting high impact for next to nothing.  Well, we are four months into 2012 (how did that happen?) & progress is being made one cabinet at a time.  Literally.  One cabinet is getting painted during nap times & in between other projects.… Read More

COOKIN’ UP A LITTLE COLOR

February 16, 2012 by Kristin Jackson 1 Comment
As I posted in my 2012 Goals post we are going to be doing a budget friendly Kitchen Redo this year.  Well, it’s February & we have already started!  I’m feeling pretty good about the direction we are heading in too.  The kitchen will be fairly neutral light grays, whites, gray washed wood tones (think Restoration Hardware) but I have vowed to add more color into my life as well.… Read More
