This past year a favorite pastime for many has been organizing inefficient spaces. We used a Walnut Spice Rack to match the Walnut Millwork. We chose to go with a black cabinet case; ' . The OCD gang got us the perfect spice jars; labeled and organized by colour. ! ... Interior Design: @designsby_ks in collaboration with @organizedcleandesigns Photography @vancityinteriors

Lessons from a Unicorn : THERES MAGIC INSIDE YOU. Anything is possible. YOU DONT NEED WINGS TO FLY. It’s ok to be different. ALWAYS BELIEVE IN YOUR SELF EVEN IF NO ONE ELSE DOES.

MILROSS STYLE These awkward Blind corners, we often see in condos and single-family home kitchens, are hard to access and impractical. Opening up the blind corner with open shelving creates a focal point in the kitchen allows for some open storage for cookbooks and canisters, while making it all more accessible to reach and see.

At our Oxford Street renovation, we couldn’t get rid of the bulkheads in the kitchen. Solution we decided to conceal them instead, by placing another 12 inch deep upper cabinet in front of them, making it seem like they are 24 deep uppers! Check it out!

It’s Friday! And we’re highlighting mixed textures! These stools are going into our W23rd kitchen, photographed against the Matt Concrete panels going on the stairs, the fireplace and kitchen.
