And just like that, kitchen design magic was made!.

I’ll be writing a number of posts all about easy-peasy painting ideas, tips, techniques, and just generally being your DIY cheerleader as usual, but this time I’m also TAKING MY SHOW ON THE ROAD!.I’m going to have so much fun with this that I don’t even know what to do with myself!.

I’ll be at the ready, along with technical paint experts from CIL to help you pick a paint and paint color that you will absolutely love, whether you’re a bold “all the colour all of the time” kinda person, or more of a “neutral goes with everything” type.. I’ll be at the following Home Depots in South Western Ontario over the course of 8 weeks this Fall and I can’t WAIT to meet you there to talk all about paint, decor, and getting you to love your DIY projects:.August 28, 2014   Waterloo.September 4, 2014   Cambridge.

September 11, 2014   Guelph.September 18, 2014   St. Catherine’s.

September 25, 2014   Ancaster.

October 2, 2014   Hamilton Mountain.I was actually looking forward to the call.

I was thinking that surely they must have some kind of amazingly brilliant explanation for why we shouldn’t make my book beautiful and photo-filled, and as soon as I heard it, I would completely understand.But of course, that was not the case.

Why is it that these phone calls always catch me so off guard?.It turns out that the only real thinking was that there had been another book, also about cleaning, that was in that same smaller format and it didn’t have pictures, and it was available at that lower price point and it had done quite well, so they were really just toying with the idea that maybe that was what readers would respond well to.
