Home Renos: Kitchens...

We got the keys to our house three weeks ago, but have been working hard on re-modelling the kitchen.

Old kitchen = Functional, but tight, dingy and dirty.
New kitchen = White kitchen, classic, open, chic!

Very excited, and inspired from white kitchen all over the web. Beautiful vents. Eye-catching island counter top. Mosaic backsplash. Keeping all this in mind!

(I heart porcelain sinks!)

Deco inspiration: Teal, grey and maybe some pink!

Now with the keys to my new house, I am excited to be picking colours to paint my place in! Looking through magazines and colour swabs, I am really loving teal, grey and dark pink. Here are some inspiration pics:

Trying something new: Blogging Every Day!

I'm not sure this effort will actually last. I just can't sleep.

I got the keys to my new house. I went looking for paint colours with my friend Jo today. I am loving grey and teal!

Life Inspiration: Try something new for 30 days

When I look to inspiration, sometimes I take a look at the videos at TED. TED is a great place to just get a "pep" talk from total strangers. At the same time, it's a great resources to learn about something new.
I found this one about trying something new for 30 days. I think I will give it a try!

Happy Medicine: Friends, Picnic, Sunset, Park

I've been working a lot of overtime lately (day, evening, night). Tomorrow is Sunday and I will have to go in. Thus, needed to make the most of my Saturday! In the morning, I pampered myself with a haircut given by a friend, and then, stopped by Santropol at St-Urbain and Duluth, picked up a sandwich-to-go and made it up to Beaver Lake on the Mount-Royal to enjoy it as a picnic, just as the sun was starting to set. Also, tried to fly a kite, but there just wasn't enough wind! I made do by running around with the kite behind me to try to pick up wind. Who knew that flying a kite could also be such a workout? I had fun nonetheless!
