DIY Painted Particle Board Floor (Mmmm, Teal) | Dans le Lakehouse If you follow me on Instagram, you might have caught a peek of a project that's been keeping me busy. A local computer shop is moving from their current retail and tech space to a smaller spot in need of some TLC. It's downtown, with excellent parking (a rare combination!), so things like missing baseboards and particle board floors were overlooked. At first I was a little intimidated by the amount of work to do, especially because the budget is miniscule and I'm being paid in tacos (that's not a euphemism for cash). But I'm always up for a DIY challenge! The former tenants had put down what looks like some kind of oriented strand board (or engineered wood particle board), which had become badly stained from water damage and general foot traffic. Putting something cheap over the particle board, like a peel and stick tile or even click laminate, wasn't an option because it's not 100% level (it's an older building, which exacerbates the wonky installation). The floor turned out lovely.

A Budget-Friendly Aqua Kitchen Makeover | Dans le Lakehouse Stick a fork in it, the kitchen is done and it's time for the big reveal! What better day to show off the turquoise kitchen I've been dreaming about since last summer (actually, since August 2012) than on my 30th birthday? I wish I had added "awesome aqua kitchen" to my 30 before 30 list because a whole bunch of things didn't get done while I was making magic happen in here. UPDATE: Since sharing this post, I've added some art and reorganized a bit. I'm never "done" with a space. Anyway, here's a sneak peek at how it looks today, but read on for more before and after photos and budget breakdown. Do you remember what it looked like before? This makeover, as smitten as I am with it, is temporary-ish. The upper cabinets were removed because they were so small and offered so little storage space. To replace the storage we ripped down, Hubby and I built a simple open pantry from plywood, which was primed and painted to match the walls (using a semi-gloss finish). And the kitchen now:

Paneer (Ricotta) Pound Cake Despite the number of cakes there are on my blog, I’m not really very fond of cakes. They’re eaten mostly by my family and friends who are always ready to eat cake. I avoid frosted cakes as I do not like buttercream, and though I love chocolate, I’m not overly fond of chocolate cakes. For someone who isn’t very fond of cakes, it’s rather odd that a pound cake has been on my mind for a long time now. The pound cake gets its name from the fact that a pound each of sugar, flour, butter and eggs go into making it. That beautiful cake, however, just brought back my pound cake obsession. All the recipes I came across seemed to need a minimum of 1 1/2 sticks of butter. Ricotta isn’t available here but paneer is almost like it, and I did have fresh crumbly paneer in the kitchen. The result was a wonderfully light and moist cake which just disappeared in no time. Please do not try this cake with store bought paneer (the slab or cubes) as it would be too dry.

Pneumatic Addict : DIY Industrial Storage Cubbies Our new house, like many houses, is full of stuff. Some good stuff, some junky stuff. Stuff that needs to find a home. Inspired by vintage metal locker systems I have seen, I decided to build a cubby storage system to hide all the crap we have laying around. The frame accommodates nine, standard 12" x 12" cubbies. Its pretty quick to build and can be put together with off-the-shelf lumber. Materials List: Cut List: (18) 1 x 12 @ 12-1/2"(9) 1 x 2 @ 10-1/2"(9) 12" x 12-1/2" - 3/4" plywood(9) 6" sections - leather strap1. 2. 3. At this point, I painted the wood frames with 2 coats of a hammered texture spray paint and allowed to dry. 4. Pre-drill multiple, evenly spaced holes about 3/8" from the sides of the metal panels. 5. I found 1-1/2" wide leather straps at Joann Fabric for $14. The 1 x 2 cross piece not only gives strength to the cubbie's structure, it gives you a place to mount hardware. 6. I had to trim about 1/4" from the backside of the spine on each end. Let's be friends!
