Form & Function

Form & Function

These double-walled beauties by Bodum are the best glasses ever. I will admit that I bought them purely based on the appearance (two walls? I’m in!), but we quickly realized how well designed they really are. We have the 8.5 oz. version (on the right) and use them all the time. Steaming hot coffee and [...]

Kitchen Tools as Lights

Kitchen Tools as Lights

These lights remind me of the trouble light-inspired pendants from Anthro that I posted about. But these little guys are made from vintage industrial whisks! Want. (Check out this tutorial, via Remodelista.) Ashley Ann came up with another light inspired by the trouble lights using a wire basket (thanks for the link, Sarah!).

A vintage [...]

NASAMAN

NASAMAN

This pen and watercolor painting by Ryan (yes, my Ryan) is hanging in our office. It is based on a photo of a man who works at NASA, thus the name. Poignant, yes? I really like this fellow, though. I need to frame it. We used to have lots of art nights back in Nelson. [...]

The Quilt That Wasn’t

The Quilt That Wasn’t

I thought it would be a long time before I attempted another quilt, but here I go. I’m just getting over a nasty cold, and this has been a nice project to do while I’m feeling under the weather. It makes me feel slightly productive while sitting on the couch, and keeps me warm at [...]

Linear Kitchens

Linear Kitchens

Raise your hand if you hate linear kitchens. They are also referred to as “modern single wall kitchens” or “efficient European-style kitchens” in pretty much every apartment ad on Craigslist. We have this style in our current apartment and I will admit, you can wash the dishes very efficiently… while sitting on your sofa. We [...]

Japanese Masking Tape + Eva

Japanese Masking Tape + Eva

Looking for a reason to buy some (more) Japanese masking tape? Yeah, me too. I covered these tiny binder clips with some of the tape and they are pretty adorable. Almost makes me want to get organized. Almost. Maybe these would help, too:

These clothes pins made by Whitney of Whisker Graphics remind me of ones [...]

Grey Suede Shoes

Grey Suede Shoes

Just wanted to share this great tutorial that I used to make these tiny baby shoes for Piper. The easy-to-follow tutorial took me about one hour from start to finish and was generously provided by Joanna of Stardust Shoes. I want to make more, maybe with some cuter fabric. I used really soft white leather [...]

Downsizing

Downsizing

I’ll admit it. I get a little emotionally attached to clothes. It’s not like I cry each time a sock goes missing (although that sure does happen a lot), but I have a tendency to hold on to things past their prime if I have fond memories associated with them. This skirt is a prime [...]

Small Luggage

Small Luggage

This post is a little homage to The Darjeeling Limited, because the Louis Vuitton collection of luggage featured in the movie would be ideal. Number four (of eleven), shown above, is just what I have been looking for. But, alas! These were auctioned off, likely for many thousands of dollars. So I must look elsewhere. [...]

A Two-Part Plan

A Two-Part Plan

My ideas are often a little too grandiose for my skill set. Seriously. I have these projects stuck in my head, and no clue how to follow through. Instead of taking the time to learn, I tend to run ahead to the next project, leaving behind a messy path of tools and supplies. Not good [...]

About

Britt McMaster is addicted to cucumbers. She and her husband, Ryan, live and work in a tiny apartment in downtown Vancouver, BC. Both Ryan and Britt love to write lists of all their ideas on action sheets, and they have pages and pages. They write especially quickly after they've each had a dry cappuccino or two. Most of those fanciful ideas will stay on paper, but Cucumbersome is Britt's platform to try some out.
