ABC already...

Summer, Baby and Goings on!
We are hoping to go skating today, fingers crossed. First skate of the season. But I've got to be honest, I'm really missing summer. I love BBQ season, roller blading, floating down the bow and walk by the river at Edworthy Park. A bit nostalgic today.
It's only a few months right??
In other news, my son seems to love butter and cooking! He saw me using it for some cooking, and says "budda", soo cute! He loves to mix in random things like uncooked lentil or bread crumbs into a water base and calls it "ca ca" meaning cooking. We let him do his cooking while we cook. We get work done, while he plays kitchen. We have started to use only butter at our house after my friend suggested an article that I reads about the way margarine is made. We obviously try to use it in extreme moderation, it does have lots of fat.
Thought you know about the everyday stuff around here,
see you soon,
Ameera

J'adore Home 4: Room Dividers
Why are room dividers on my mind? I saw a DIY version using old records
and contact paper and thought this was an ingenius idea. Some room
dividers are art in itself, no need for a painting when your room is
divided by a beautiful lattice or an industrial style bookcase.

Refinished Vintage Chest of Drawers
Today is a blistery - 27 and feels like -30 in Calgary Alberta. This type of weather is expected for the whole week!!! The weather comes as no surprise to us because this was marked as one of the coldest winters and thus far, we Calgarians have been spoiled with warm temperatures above 0. I am looking forward to lots of evenings at the pool in Cardel Place while the manageable weather comes around this weekend.
But back to the original reason for this post! Remember that chest of drawers I scored for free to practice my staining techniques. Well I completed the work over the last few weeks and wanted to give you a peak at the new look. But before I get to the after pictures, let me tell you the whole story!
