The end of 2021 is here. I am tying this year up with gratitude that I was able to have another trip around the sun here on Mother Earth.

It’s so hard to believe that we will be coming up on the 2 year anniversary of the pandemic. Two years! But I digress…

I’m here to report on the progress of my new kitchen sans refrigerator. Womp. Womp. Here it is with countertops, and the appliances we have. No refrigerator or microwave. The refrigerator has yet to be delivered and the microwave showed up crushed.

Oh well, what is a gal supposed to do? Call the appliance store and yell at them? Ridiculous. They have nothing to do with the disaster that is America’s shipping issues. So we wait.

This past year has taught me a lot. I learned the process of a new kitchen. My oh my! I learned that no matter how many facts you have some people just won’t listen. And because of that I also learned that staying silent is sometimes better especially when you’re right. And you know you’re right because some people are just downright crazy. Most importantly, I learned more about my relationships and friendships.

Hoping for a better year in 2022 for all! Stay safe, have fun and Happy New Year!

Kitchen & Bath Design Inspiration

I had the pleasure of joining the Kitchen and Bath Tribe Chat hosted by Marble Institute the other day. The topic; Designing with Natural Materials. These chats are fun, but also very educational and informative for remodeling and home design. For example a maintenance tip when using natural stone; avoid the 3 As – acid, ammonia and alcohol. I would have never known these three are not good for natural stone.

Another tip is what’s trending! A popular choice these days is a full slab of natural stone for a backsplash instead of tile. Gorgeous and smart, because a solid piece for a backsplash is a lot easier to clean than tile. Am I right or am I right?! Look at this seamless look from Discover Marble – I am in love.

More ideas include American Stonecraft transforming reclaimed fieldstone into a line of slabs for serving, cooking and tabletop accessories. Brilliant and functional!

Then there was this by Brasigran. It’s called Blue Agata – mesmerizing and I would sleep in this kitchen. Seriously, come on… Why must you torture me like this?

There is so much more to see and learn in these chats. Scrolling through the hashtag #KBTribeChat is like looking through a catalog, but with tips and tricks of the best and what’s best for you. Go on – See for yourself!
