Kitchen shopping
As our home reaches the final stages of construction, I’ve been quite obsessive about purchasing highly functional, smartly designed products which were durable and yet aesthetically pleasing. My search led me to amazon where I loaded up on OXO, Umbra and simplehuman items. I’m trying to balance between having too much that it’s clutter while ensuring […]
Wedding thoughts

The Silver Marble scratch test

The Silver Marble stain test
We’ve been struggling with the choice of granite or marble for our kitchen countertops.
