Appliance Review: Our Ilve Range

I designed our kitchen around having all the appliances hidden except one: our beautiful Ilve Range. If you’ve seen it then you know it’s not just an oven but it’s a piece of art. It fits so beautifully into our kitchen’s design and all the reviews pointed to it being just as functional as it is beautiful. I’m here today to report back and tell you whether they were right 😉

HOW TO MAKE A NO-SEW PINCH PLEAT CURTAIN

When I started planning for our laundry room update, I knew I needed a solution for hiding all our shoes under the bench.
