      <image:caption>Little paint chips from the store just don’t cut it — they’re simply too small to provide an accurate sense of the colour. Once you’ve narrowed down your selection, you can order LARGE peel and stick samples directly from Benjamin Moore and Sherwin Williams, or from a third party like Hello Paint or Samplize.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>For smaller items like stationary, bathroom items, rubber bands / clips, etc. I prefer clear acrylic organizers.

      <image:caption>TOP LEFT — I glued the bottom half of the nail right in the middle of the end strip of bamboo — one at the top, one at the bottom. NOTE: The glue takes a long time to cure! Be patient and give it at least 24hrs to harden up. BOTTOM LEFT — After carefully measuring the placement of the hole and ensuring the door had enough room to rotate open, I drilled precisely to the depth required for the door to sit in the middle of the opening. (This depth will vary based on the height of your opening.) RIGHT — I added door pulls and some small magnets to the inside of the door and shelf to keep the door closed.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Design Blog - Breakfast Nook on a Budget - Enter instead: the plug-in pendant cord.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Rather than buy the whole fixture, I purchased a cord and woven basket separately, then DIY’d the shade! Is it just like one of the beautiful woven shades I was pining over? Certainly not. But it was quick, easy, and wayyy less expensive, so I’m still considering it a win! The fabric wrap on this cord is a nice touch, helping it look more finished and blend better with white walls. If you want a more decorative cord to wrap around a brace or bar, you could use something like this twisted cord with wood detail.</image:caption>
