I still can’t believe how much this kitchen has I still can’t believe how much this kitchen has transformed. When we moved into our century home, the kitchen wasn’t quite our style. Freezing slate floors, an awkwardly angled peninsula, and cold air leaking in during the winter made it far from functional. In the spring, I decided to renovate. I spent hours designing the layout using AutoCAD, SketchUp, and the IKEA kitchen planner. To get a high-end look on a budget, I ordered IKEA cabinets and had custom doors made in a beautiful shade (I agonized over picking the right colour). We mixed splurge-worthy elements like the cabinet hardware with more budget-friendly finds like the IKEA cabinets. From new floors to a cozy breakfast nook, every detail was carefully thought out, and now it’s a space that feels both functional and timeless. Want to see more of the process? Head to my blog or comment DETAILS and i’ll send them to you! (You need to be following me to receive the DM) Happy renovating, Emma 🤍

Back in the summer when I was pregnant, we got a @thelitterrobot for home, and let me tell you—it was a game-changer. Between automatic waste removal, no scooping, and keeping odors under control, it made life so much easier. Plus, our cats absolutely love it because their litter is always fresh and clean. And we love that it actually uses less litter than a regular box—talk about a win-win! Then we discovered the app, which tracks details like how often our cats use it (so helpful!) and even their weight. By fall, we were so obsessed we decided to get a second one for our cottage—because with three cats, one Litter-Robot just wasn’t enough! Now we rave about it to everyone because honestly, who wouldn’t want to scoop less, save on litter, and keep both your house and your cats happy? #thelitterrobot
