Wondering if you should have the traditional under sink trash can—or upgrade to a placement that saves you time, money and pain? We’re helping you figure it out today! Putting your trash can under your sink is like peanut butter and jelly to some people. If you have one, you have to have the other! For years, garbage cans under the sink have bugged me, wigging out my Ergonomic-o-Meter.😆 Why? Let’s look at the answers…
Wondering if a kitchen island WITHOUT pendant lighting is for you? Or will it look "weird"? See what we did + several of our client kitchens designed WITHOUT pendant lights too! :) One of the most unorthodox moves we made in our kitchen renovation was (aside from our double islands, which all contractors assured me was "weird" but we all can see who's laughing now and her name starts with a J) to do our…

Just when we thought we were too "mature" and "well-traveled" to find you at all interesting anymore... ...you raised an eyebrow and showed us why you’ve still got it!😆 Having traveled through Italy three or four times, I figured we were “over it.” This 5th was supposed to only be because we had to pick up our car lease in Milan.

Long story short: we needed to be in the UK for 3 months, so... ...we considered splitting it 1 month in England, 1 month in Scotland, 1 month in Ireland...or something like that. However, there’s something to be said for picking one country and really enjoying it! (Also, especially while you're working full-time remotely AND you're living with kids, not having to move…
Before I got married and had kids and became the pillar of maturity I am today…😉 (mwahaha) …living in Sevilla was one of my favorite life experiences! Note: I used the English name “Seville” in the title so English-speakers searching online will find it. However—just like when you have a good friend who introduced himself as “Juan”, you wouldn’t start calling him “John”—the rest of the time I will be referring to my friend Sevilla…
