Formica® Laminate: A Modern Choice
Can you hear the yelps of joy coming from my place? Yes, our kitchen redo is finally finished and I am so excited to share it with you! I have wanted to change our concrete kitchen countertops forever and was going back and forth on what I wanted. The concrete just didn’t hold up very well over time and to get it fixed properly would have been quite expensive. And Corian and Marble countertops are gorgeous but weren’t really what I was looking for. I wasn’t sure exactly what I wanted but I kept looking through Pinterest and Instagram looking for the perfect kitchen design that suited my tastes. So you can imagine my excitement…

Dwell :: House Tour in Orange County
We had a chance to take a tour of the lovely Justine’s home. She and her family moved into this neighborhood about two years ago but says she is still looking to do more things in the house. I think it looks fabulous and love all the little touches that just say home. You can tell a lot of thought went into the design of the home while keeping in mind her two adorable twins and husband. Actually, she said her husband, Mike, had some input into the home décor, like the cool Buddha statue in the living room and superhero books in their new built-in, but most of the design comes…
