I'm a mother. And we've been through the baby food stage twice, so far. If I had saved all the baby food jars from our kiddos, we could have an entire room dedicated to Baby Food Jar Spice Racks. Thankfully, I'm not that crazy, but I did find a few interesting ways to use the finished jar of peas in a new way. Take, for instance, the colorful and magnetic jars above, from Dav.i.son. Which one of these ideas is your… Continue Reading
This month we at the Curb honor the almighty kitchen. Why the adoration? Because, besides oftentimes making or breaking a real estate transaction, they are also the heart of the home. They deserve special attention and, yes, some investment on our parts. Investment, however, doesn't have to mean expensive. Oh, no, no, no. In this jam-packed cabinet and countertop makeover roundup, the budgets are super small but the impact is super big! (Befores to the left; afters on the right where applicable.)
Our first idea… Continue Reading

I bought my home three years ago last month, and the kitchen was what sold the entire place to me. After living in too many apartments with tiny galley spaces, a big kitchen space was high on my list of real estate… Continue Reading
House & Home's own Mark Challen and designer Priscilla Wikkerink take us on a tour of Mark's kitchen renovation. The 'before' was dark, dated and messy! 'After' is a breath of fresh air. Brasserie-inspired, it now features… Continue Reading
Normally, I have what can only be described as an insatiable appetite for color. If you looked around my home, it would hit you like a ton of bricks: Purple chair! Green walls! Blue walls! Orange sofa! You get the picture. But lately I've been really loving the idea of having an all-white kitchen (I might sneak a few pops of color in there, though, I can't help myself). So, in my constant search for inspiration, I rounded up a few a bunch of my favorite modern kitchens in this oh-so-clean and crisp palette. Check 'em out… Continue Reading
It's Kitchen Month on Curbly! So Kelly, Melanie, and I will be doing a series of kitchen tours. We'll walk you through our kitchens, point out what we love and what we don't, and show how they got to be the way they are.
This week, I wrote about how our kitchen used to suck, and how we went through a tough DIY remodel to make it better. Today's the kitchen tour! So without further ado ... pretty… Continue Reading
See that rad cloth napkin that looks like it's straight out of the latest styled foodie magazine article? (Okay, the rest of the food looks really good too.) But I digress, care to venture a guess as to what to use to make… Continue Reading
It's Kitchen Month on Curbly! So Kelly, Melanie, and I will be doing a series of kitchen tours. We'll walk you through our kitchens, point out what we love and what we don't, and show how they got to be the way they are.
After our daughter was born, we decided it was finally time to remodel our hideous kitchen. We planned to do most of it ourselves (well, "Alicia's brother's self", with some help from me). We planned on getting it done… Continue Reading
In honor of Kitchen Month, I decided we needed to play another game of guess the gadget! (Hints included; answers below.)
Try to guess the one pictured above and it just make… Continue Reading
I don't know about you, but I grew up with a few of these (except the sewing version) floating around the house, due to my mom being a professional seamstress. Now that she's upgraded to fancy metal ones, I almost wish we would have kept some of her old wood yard sticks so I could use them for a project... in the… Continue Reading
It's Kitchen Month on Curbly! So Kelly, Melanie, and I will be doing a series of kitchen tours. We'll walk you through our kitchens, point out what we love and what we don't, and show how they got to be the way they are.
When we bought our house almost ten years ago, the kitchen was a Frankenstein monster. Every cabinet had been hand-crafted by the previous owner, god bless him and his malfunctioning measuring sticks. No two pieces of wood were… Continue Reading
Last week we shared a roundup of (awesome) modern tea towels, but if your priority is to 'make do', I say you may as well make it pretty,… Continue Reading
Oh my goodness. This is a makeover for the books, no doubt about it. Frankly, I'm finding it hard to believe the 'after' is even the same… Continue Reading
