Laundry Room Update

We did a mini make over to our laundry space. Our laundry room is less of a room and more of a laundry hall. It’s a bit of an after thought in our house. Tucked on the garden level, slightly stashed under the stairs, and serves as the hallway to my studio. There really isn’t a lot we can do to make it a room, but we did make it feel a little bigger by taking out some older cupboards and installing shelving. Before... Once the cupboards were down the wall was repainted a clean white. Wall brackets were installed and then two shelves. There is room add an additional shelf or two if there is a future need. Here’s the after... It looks so much bright and the space does seem a bit bigger with the clunky cupboards down and gone. I have a plan to purchase some baskets or bins to hide the clutter, but for now this is a huge improvement from the ugly dated cupboards. I wish there was a better before photo, but unfortunately no.

Recipe Review: Glen and Friends Cooking No Knead Bread

I've had mixed success with no-knead bread. Sometimes amazing, sometimes not so much, some more in-depth. This recipe is nearly infallible.

However, I do click the random sunrise or snowy morning shot, often when I'm on my way to town to run errands or making a supply run to Fairbanks. This first shot is from our drive to Fairbanks last Friday morning. We stopped for a potty break and I grabbed a quick shot of the sunrise. The sky was beautiful that morning. This is a quick click of sunset in our front yard. The pink popping through the silhouette of the trees was such a beautiful contrast. Sunrise view from my studio one morning in December. I love it when the sun lights up a cloudy sky like this. These colors might inspire a future project. Winter wonderland, a fresh layer of snow in our yard always makes me think of the beginning of The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe. It's like stepping through the wardrobe into Narnia waitin
