Knocked out! // Kitchen remodeling

Chickens! I'm back!

Believe it or not, I had to spend ONE.WHOLE.WEEK. in bed. I was going crazy. But I was too sick to go crazy. So I just slept. My sinus infection came back full force and I ended up with pain, fever and headaches.

It sucked. Bad.

But: Now I'm back at work, back in life!

Do you know that urge to change something in the house, when you are stuck at home? I bet it´s because you look at your home 24/7 and you start to see all the flaws and stuff you want to remove/change/organize/paint...

Thats`s what happened to me. I didn´t like the way my kitchen looked anymore. So I bought paint and tons of decoration Saturday, and started painting around 9PM, went to bed around 1:30AM, and finished painting the next morning. Done. Love it! Bye bye nasty white-yellow-ish walls, hello broooooown!

The secrets of the common kitchen

Call it healthy curiosity or pathological nosiness, but the moment we step into someone else’s home, all we ever want to do is explore. And while it’s socially acceptable to steal glances at our friends’ and neighbors’ bookshelves or record collections, we can’t deny that, given the opportunity, we’d peruse more than just what’s in plain sight. So, naturally we’re drawn to Dutch photographer Erik Klein Wolterink’s Keukens, a set of photo collages that reveals what’s behind the closed cabinet and pantry doors of a rainbow of cultural kitchens, from families of North African origin to Jews to students to the artist’s own pots and pans.
