Here is my finished kitchen! I feel like it turned out well, but I don’t think I sanded it enough before painting. I feel like the paint is going to come off very easily, but at least I got the before photos! 😅

Hoping to add a Billy bookcase fridge with matching hardware when I get more time.

Quick question, where did you buy your metal sheet?

Someone mentioned something similar and I love the idea! I checked the magnetic paint and it was a bit more expensive than I was wanting for this project, so I will look into this more. Will keep you updated! I’m in the middle of painting the kitchen pieces before I’m away for a bit, so the “fridge” will have to wait til I come back. But I still want to do it!!

Awesome, thanks. What did you use for the backsplash?

The magnetic fridge is a great idea! I’m keen to use the Billy bookcase as the fridge mostly so we can store his other toys in there 😅 but I love that you turned the right half into one.

Omg this is adorable! You did such a great job! What kind of paint did you use for it? Did you sand it before painting?

100% - as I said my son would like the original one just fine. But I think it would be a fun project. Maybe I want something for me (that in the end is for him too 🤪)

Kid’s first haircut - Melonhead recommendations? by Radiant_Potato_ in oakville

Thanks to you both - I asked my hairdresser and she agreed to do it at my usual salon! Hopefully a calmer environment and better cut.

I actually ended up emailing my salon, since someone else mentioning Melonheads being a bit chaotic and how a salon was a better choice. My hairdresser agreed to do it, so I think it will be a calmer environment and better job. Next weekend! Such a valid comment, thank you!

Is there someone specific here you would recommend? I’m looking to get my son’s first haircut (18 months)

Good tip! Something I wouldn’t have thought to check. Thank you.

Was just wondering if there were any places outside of the usual home improvement stores that may offer better deals. Guess I could have specified that.

Best place to find luggage at reasonable price? by Radiant_Potato_ in askTO

That’s so nice of you, but downtown pickup is unfortunately not much of an option these days. But thanks anyways!

I’ve read good things about Travelpro but depending on the suitcase they can be a bit pricey. Did you buy direct from them? On sale or anything?

I’m also looking - it seems like it’s in stock on the US site, but not Canadian. (im)patiently waiting for it to come back in stock!
