I got an email last week encouraging me to enter an interior design competition hosted by a new development here called Morgan Crossing. Not something I would normally do, especially considering I just admitted needing help in that area. But the more I thought of it, the more I just had to enter. The development [...]
I’ll be honest with you: I briefly considered hoarding these plans and then stunning you with my furniture-making skillz (with a “z” even). But that just wouldn’t be right. Recession Design is giving them away. Here’s a look at the plans for the table above: So what if the plans are in Italian? I have [...]
Did you guys see this? Last month, Morgan gave me a much-needed consultation on what to do with our tiny bedroom. I was absolutely speechless (which explains the late posting of this) with what she came up with. Morgan included lots of, um, concept collages (the term “mood board” seems inappropriate and awkward but there [...]
We now have these three etched bottles sitting on the shelf in our shower, and these three only: “soap” – pure liquid castile soap, also used for shaving, “soda” – baking soda water used instead of shampoo, and “rinse” – watered-down apple cider vinegar used on hair once or twice a week to get rid [...]
This photo was taken three years ago. That’s a long time. It’s enough time, in fact, to develop a whole secret language made up of inside jokes and song parodies. Ryan is my best friend, my most favorite human, and a better husband than I could have ever imagined. He woke me up this morning [...]
I alternately fret over and neglect my plants. As you can imagine, they are alternately over-watered and… dead. We bought a rubber plant which is supposed to be one of the hardiest household plants, but well, I don’t want to talk about it. I really do love having (live) plants around, so the idea of [...]
Yes, it has been a while, but I refused to come back here until I had a brand new site and a sufficiently snobby-sounding title for myself. Britt McMaster, Bricoleur. I think I’ll get business cards made up. From Wikipedia: “The term is borrowed from the French word bricolage, from the verb bricoler, the core [...]
If the complete decimation of the candy (subsequently followed by crazed dancing, and the inevitable sugar crash) is any indication, the candy buffet at my brother’s wedding was a success. There was a lot of dashing around the morning of because we had planned to gather supplies the day before, but hadn’t anticipated all of [...]
Here’s the short story for you skimmers: Freezer paper + fabric + inkjet printer = banner. And now for the slightly longer version: When thinking of how to make a banner for my brother’s wedding, I contemplated the freezer paper stencil method which I have used before (seen here, forgive the bad photos) with some [...]
We’re heading out in a couple days to Toronto for my brother’s wedding. I have been working on a few projects for the wedding that I will share with you next week. Hopefully the happy couple doesn’t mind me using their day as blog fodder. Honestly, my projects were hit and miss. The ones I [...]
