The Evolution of My New Kitchen

This kitchen is what made me not give up while looking for a place to live in Vancouver. It called to me in the ad. It reminded me of my mom. It was so bright and homey and wow, granite countertops? Ah… yes please! The Move Then the moving chaos began. The moving guys kept […]

The day is finally here! Our house is official up for sale. Check out the virtual tour! We have been working so hard making it a perfect home for the future occupants. We did try and depersonalize it completely… But as you can see, my cupcake clock still hangs in my kitchen! My little creative […]

Embracing a retro kitchen

November 7, 2013 by Suzie the Foodie 7 Comments

When I first started my blog, I really wanted my kitchen to be my studio. I loved my tall matching glass apothecary jars. It made me feel like I could earn a Martha Stewart stamp of approval. Which for some reason, mattered to me. It all started with this coffee maker our friends Gareth and […]

Healing My Kitchen, Healing My Heart

Before you start feeling sorry for the sad little dishwasher waiting for garbage pickup… I say, don’t. For me, this is an image of liberation. In the last year I had been cleaning a hell of a lot of dishes by hand. I didn’t mind at first but after months of it and numerous skin […]

Clean the fridge, clean the slate

Weekend Foodie Project When Reg lost his job when we lived in a burb on a mountain in BC, one of the things I did to feel like I was in control was clean. Lately, I have been feeling out of control. Spinning around in circles, not knowing what is going to happen in our […]

Need to Fix Your Kitchen Sink Faucet? Call a Plumber!

January 10, 2012 by Suzie the Foodie 8 Comments

Some time back in early fall, something broke inside our Moen kitchen sink faucet. The lever used to turn the water on the off would no long turn off when you pushed down. Most of the time the lever would just go flying off and crash into the sink. You had to really fight with it […]

Exercising control by organizing herb & spice chaos in the kitchen

Remember the other day when I made those Canadian Living hamburger buns and wrote that I could not find sesame seeds to finish them off? Well that got me into the mood to get organized. I am not very good at being organized at all but I had stuff everywhere and had no idea where […]

Kitchen Makeover Thanks to Finish Coat Painting

Here are the before and after shots that I took and wait until you see the transformation thanks to Finish Coat Painting! Our kitchen was a dark sage and on one side we had the original oak cabinets which are nice but they really darkened the room. Here they are now a stunning bright white! […]

Kitchen Makeover Update!

I have often said that I am not a collector of “stuff.” This photo proves I am either a big fat liar or completely in denial. I plead the fifth! I guess when it comes to the kitchen, I love my tools and pretty decorative jars and baskets. I have moved everything from my countertops […]

Kitchen Makeover

March 27, 2011 by Suzie the Foodie 12 Comments

Just to give you the heads-up… I may not be posting the next couple of days. You see my dark and dreary kitchen is finally getting a makeover. Painters are going to be coming over and and giving me an all-white semi-gloss kitchen. I am totally nervous about it. I love all white kitchens but […]
