Okay now it’s time for the things I love about my Okay now it’s time for the things I love about my kitchen! If you saw what I don’t like about my kitchen, here is the sequel.

I moved in and renovated my kitchen 10 years ago so I thought it was a good time to review the good and the bad to help you if you were renovating a kitchen. Those things that bothered me 10 years ago, still bother me and the things I loved back then, I still love. 

It’s always good to check in with yourself to see what are your must haves when renovating!

I first met Jen @cityfarmhouse1 in 2016 at the Hav I first met Jen @cityfarmhouse1 in 2016 at the Haven Conference and through our blogs years before that. She’s someone that has a great eye, great style, great voice, big heart and she always wanted to write a book. And now that dream has come true!

I’m halfway through The Summer I Found You and it is already such an amazing book with a great setting (old house with a garden by the beach), hot young neighbor, secrets, some mystery. It’s a page turner and would be the perfect book to take on a beach vacation. 

So proud of you Jen! You told me years ago in Brooklyn you wanted to write a book and here you are, a published author. You’re such an inspiration to never give up on your dreams. And also never knew some of the wild thoughts you had for this book ☺️🤗😚

➡️ Comment SUMMER and I’ll DM you the link to pre-order it.

Sunday stills. There’s nothing better than vinta Sunday stills. 

There’s nothing better than vintage and thrifted items to give your home personality and some of my most prized possessions are ones I’ve found that no one else has (like the letters from the 1800s I bought in France 🇫🇷). 

These are how homes have personality and don’t look like a showroom. Adding the things you love to it.

I’m back with Part 2 of Things I Don’t Like About I’m back with Part 2 of Things I Don’t Like About My Kitchen

I moved into this house and renovated it 10 years ago and so I thought it was time to go over the things I don’t like about it and things I still love about it. 

Nothing major but it’s good to know if you are looking to renovate your own kitchen and to decide what will truly bother you or if it’s worth the splurge. 

Coming up soon will be all the things I love about my kitchen!

Don’t you hate when candlesticks don’t stay put? Don’t you hate when candlesticks don’t stay put?

Just melt the base of the candlestick a little bit and it will stay and not lean. 

So simple, right?

I just published a post on the best timeless paint I just published a post on the best timeless paint colors for 2026 and for years to come, in my opinion. 

These are paint colors I’ve seen time and again with clients and the paint guide I did last year. There are light, medium and dark shades of colors so a lot of variety. 

It’s a huge blog post with lost of different paint colors given for each room show. These are truly colors I love so much.

I love my apron front (farmhouse) sink. It’s been I love my apron front (farmhouse) sink. It’s been 10 years now since it’s been in my house. And it’s the second one I’ve had as I had one in my previous house. 

I’ve created a blog post with the good and bad about it. 

First, the bad:👎🏻

1. They can scratch if you don’t use a sink rack (I don’t like them) and for 10 years, it’s not bad, you can’t really notice them. 
2. They can get marks or stains. 

Now the good:👍🏻 

1. Stains are easily removable!
2. They don’t chip - especially with mine which is a enameled cast iron Kohler sink. 
3. With it being undermount, you don’t need a bead of silicone along the edge, it can be hidden underneath. 
4. They are HUGE! Enough to put babies, pets, and roasting pans in. 
5. They are gorgeous. Enough said. I will keep buying them. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Comment SINK and I’ll send you the link to my blog post and link to the sink.

Do you love an apron-front/farmhouse sink?

My 7 habits I do daily. I’m such a creature of hab My 7 habits I do daily. I’m such a creature of habit it was hard to put it down to 7 😂 

No.1 - Make my bed

As soon as I wake up, I make my bed. I make it before I even leave my room in the morning. I feel like it sets a momentum for the day. 

No. 2 - Exercise

After I make my bed, I put my workout clothes and go down to my basement to work out. I work out every day. Now when I say that I don't mean I do a HIIT session every day, but I always get on the treadmill every morning then lift weights. I see a personal trainer once a week as well. When it's nice out, I like to take hikes near my house and bike.

No. 3 - Smoothie, Vitamins, Tea, Emails, Texts, Etc

After my workout, I unload the dishwasher, I make my smoothie and take my vitamins. I’ll make myself a tea then I go through all my emails and I always go through my junk/spam folder. I hate red notification dots. 

No. 4 - Always change into clothes-not loungewear 

I always find I’m more productive when I wear my regular ‘uniform’ - jeans and a top.

No. 5 - Clean the kitchen and quick tidy up

There’s nothing better than setting up the next day for success so I make sure the kitchen is clean and that I’ve tidied up. I check to see what is happening tomorrow and double check with the kids if they have everything they need. .

No. 6 - Nightly getting ready routine.

I hop in the shower and I do my skincare routine and use a retinol every second or third day. 

No. 7 - Read a book or meditate.

I love reading at night. I’ve done it for as long as I can remember. It makes me sleepy so it’s a good routine. I’m now getting into the routine of listening to a meditation app a few times a week which I love too.

Do you do something similar? Or is it just me? Let me know!
