Guest post: Five Must Have Appliances for the Kitchen
Brought to you by "The Kitchen Appliance Centre" in the UK
Are you planning to redo your kitchen? Create a kitchen that is as practical as it is stylish by making sure that you install the right appliances. Here’s our list of the top five must-haves to help you on your way:
1. Dishwasher
Let’s be honest: washing up is rubbish and no one likes to do it. Save time and arguments by installing a dishwasher. New energy efficient models could actually mean you save money as they’ll use less gas or electricity than washing up as you go along. What could be better?
2. Stainless steel undermount sinks
The sink is essential for any kitchen, and with so many choices of materials it can be hard to choose. For the most hygienic, practical and stylish option choose a stainless steel undermount sink. Not only will it give you a sleek and seamless finish, but also ensures that you don’t waste vital worktop space.
3. Duel fuel cooker
It used to be a straight forward choice – either electric or gas. With electric cookers you had an efficient oven but a frustrating hob that was all too easy to burn food on. With gas cookers the oven temperatures are uneven, but the hobs are easy to control and offer instant heat.
Now though, you don’t have to make a sacrifice, simply choose a duel fuel cooker and combine the benefits of an electric oven and gas hob.
4. Waste disposal units
Food waste is almost inevitable, for efficient and hygienic disposal choose a food disposal unit like the Insinkerator. The Insinkerator is fitted to your sink, then, instead of throwing food waste in the bin you simply tip it into the Insinkerator and it is transported out through your wastewater pipe.
Not only is this clean and efficient, but also it means that drains do not become blocked with food scraps that weren’t properly scraped into the bin.
5. Food processor
Whether you’re cooking food for the family or whipping up fantastic dinner party feasts, every cook should have a food processor. This little gadget can help you to create a whole host of delicious dishes:
They make light work of grating cheese or slicing and dicing vegetables. Models like the KitchenAid offer dough blades for making bread, and egg whips for whisking cream and egg whites. Simply put they are essential for anyone who wants to spend less time cooking and more time eating.
Of course, there are so many choices for the modern kitchen that you really need to take the time to think about what will suit your needs now – and in the future. But for appliances that you will use for years to come, look no further than our must haves and enjoy your new kitchen.

Guest Post: Shabby Chic Design Trends
![]() |
| "Opaque white chandeliers and antique metal sconces..." |
There are a few different slants to the Shabby Chic style: Cottage, Romantic, English Country and even Seaside. The essence of vintage lies in airy, light fabrics and colors; textures that make you want to curl up and nap. Beyond the basics of vintage white iron bed frames and pastel throw pillows, what kind of design trends will we be seeing in the coming year for the tradition of shabby chic? Less tattered and more natural materials will make their way this year. 1. Repurposed Wooden Doors
Whether it’s two vertical, paint-scraped doors as a headboard or a single one as the top of a coffee table, the use of old wooden doors that have been scraped and partially sanded make great accents. It’s rustic and tactile and reminiscent of a time before pre-fabricated metal doors.
2. Light Fixture
Lighting is a very important factor for the cottage feel, undressed fluorescent lights just won’t do. Opaque white chandeliers and antique metal sconces followed up with pastel patterned lampshades will deliver a soft glow to the room.
3. Leather
Vintage leather chairs and sofas last forever if they’re well taken care of and look great even when they start to crack a little around the edges. Search high and low for the lighter tones for one great leather piece to fit into your living room such as an ottoman or studded chair.
4 Accent Color
With a base like white or ivory you can accent with a romantic color like rosy red or sea foam green. Light purple or any color blue from navy to sky can bring a nice break to the natural tones of English Country or Seaside for a more Romantic feel.

Happy New Year and a fairytale collection
This is just a little post to thank you all of you for staying with me during this past year. You made me realize how much I love blogging, decorations, and most of all to create.
All of you made me smile and always had nice words, giving me strength to continue even during the "after work apathy" :-) where I was too tired to switch on the computer or sit down at my sewing machine.
One thing is sure, cultivating hobbies is the best thing anyone could do especially when your family is already fantastic. It's the best remedy for going insane with all the bad news we hear. And this blog is a place where I want to store all nice things just because I love being here.
A special thanks goes to my hubby too that has been so supportive as well as my son that he's been so patient.

And now that Christmas is over, I can show you my sister present that took me 5 hours to make...I might be slow with beads but it was really hard to make. I'll be so happy if someone that uses this techniques could give me some tips :-) as I think the result is fantastic!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
