By the end of summer we had a nice batch of compost
cooking away in our backyard. But now that it is winter, the compost is frozen.
I just read about this indoor
composter
that doesn't use worms, attract flies or smell bad. Plus you can add
meat, fish or dairy. (we can't do that with our backyard composter)
We don't have a spot for one of these in our little kitchen,
but if I
was refinishing a kitchen I would definitely think about one of these.
Recycline, the company that makes the Preserve recycled
plastic toothbrushes, is now making Preserve
kitchen products. The products are made from 100% recycled #5
plastic just like their toothbrushes. They don't have a lot of info on
their site but looks like they have cutting boards, storage containers
and colanders.
The line is only available at Whole Foods, which we don't have
in town, but hopefully the products will be in other stores soon.
I am so enamoured with the Martha
Stewart line at Macy's. I liked her stuff at KMart, now this
Tiffany blue at Macy's... it's got a hold on me. I can hardly stand it.
I am also pretty excited about the Vera
Wang collection at Kohls. Her clothes are so elegant. I could
definitely get used to this high end designer at everyday stores trend.
It is high time I wrote about our completed kitchen tile project. We actually finished it a couple months ago, but my kitchen hasn't been tidy enough to take "finished" pictures. Hah!
I was so sick of our old lineoleum floor... it had little nicks and cuts and I just couldn't get the spot where Oscar comes in from the backyard clean. We picked these brown tiles and chose a dove grey grout to match. It really wasn't too much work to lay down the tile. We did it in a weekend. We bought a tile cutter for less than $100 and it was so worth it. Aaron did the cutting and laying while I pretty much handed him tiles and kept the four legged critters out of the kitchen. You can see more pictures of the process on my Project Gallery.
Oscar and Stewie approve of the new tile floor.
While we had everything pulled out of the kitchen we painted it a nice butter yellow. I like how it looks next to our Tiffany blue foyer. Mmmm butter.
