I was very sick of cutting chicken or making meatb I was very sick of cutting chicken or making meatballs and feeling gross so while I still do those things and still do feel gross, this little air dry clay flower hook actually helps 😅
It’s a bit wonky and I feel like I went on way too thick with the resin but let’s go with it’s whimsical. It also gave me an excuse to buy a UV light so now I’m unstoppable.

So the bedroom-turned-kitchen is obviously that gi So the bedroom-turned-kitchen is obviously that girl in this house lately but everyone wanted to know what the kitchen-turned-bedroom looked like so here we go! 
It’s not very exciting in its current state because, ya know, we’ve been busy renovating an entire other room but the plans are so good it’s like I can already see it. What do you think? Which design direction should we go in?

Because I’m a regular human I went into our kitc Because I’m a regular human I went into our kitchen renovation trying to keep the costs down, but I’ve also done this four times now so I also know that there are some little upgrades that are totally worth it 🤌🏻

For me a hidden trash feels so fancy (and keeps the dog from trying to get into it) and the pop-up outlet is so practical in that corner. 

The cabinet-front dishwasher is the height of opulence in this house though, all vibes, no function, and no regrets. 
What’s the best kitchen upgrade you’ve made??
