When I started planning our laundry room update, I knew I needed a solution to hiding all of our shoes under the benches. I’m constantly lining it up and trying to arrange it and it always looks like a hot mess. I love the look of a sink skirt and I think it would be really cute to make a shoe skirt! So I got to work on making no-sew blinds to hide all our shoes!
Exhibit A: I’m honestly shocked that it took me 7 years to decide to cover it. We use this room SO MUCH and no matter how hard I try, it’s impossible to keep shoes neat and tidy. I wanted something that was still functional but also beautiful and curtains seemed like a good option. It would hide the mess but would be easy to pull aside and reach for our shoes when we need

More than four years after MPs moved out of Center Block on Parliament Hill for the decade-long renovation to the historic building, journalists got a behind-the-scenes look at the project’s progress Thursday.
The massive project is slated to run until 2031, costing between $4.5 and $5 billion, and is on track to be completed on time.
“This is the largest heritage rehabilitation project that’s ever taken place in Canada,” said Public Services and Procurement Canada assistant deputy minister Rob Wright on the tour.
“We have to balance restoring the heritage with universal accessibility, with sustainability, with meeting modern requirements of Parliament, and creating greater access for Canadians, and creating a more secure environment,” he added. “That’s a tall order”

Whether you’re vicariously seeking an affordable starter property on House Hunters or learning how to renovate your primary bath with Erin and Ben Napier, HGTV proves that you don’t need a limitless bank account to make your biggest design dreams come true. So when we happen to see a renovation project that costs a pretty penny—like the $191,000 kitchen makeover on the latest episode of Christina on the Coast—we definitely take notice.
In the season five premiere, Christina Hall was asked by self-proclaimed fellow soccer mom Amy to spruce up her Newport Beach kitchen. The task was simple: Turn a crammed kitchen into an open, airy oasis that emphasizes indoor-outdoor living. Amy and her husband, Scott, initially set a $150,000 budget but—as with most renovations—things happened.
When replacing the kitchen’s tiles with hardwood floors, Hall’s contractor noticed the floor needed to be leveled—which cost an extra $1,800. Then the

The renovation project of the Goethe-Institut in Bogota is rooted in the search for a place that would allow the public to experience more than just teaching the German language. How can various forms of cultural exchange be brought together in one place? How can simultaneity be activated amidst difference? How can the intensity of meeting days be revived? How can everyday spaces be established for cooperation?

The healthcare professionals who work at the Burk’s Falls Family Health Team are enjoying a much-needed face-lift to the health centre.
The employees are now working in a renovated facility which includes re-purposing the former emergency reception into office space.
Christine Barr is the Administrative Assistant for the Village of Burk’s Falls who also coordinates the health center’s administration.
Barr said one of the significant improvements includes how the Ontario Telemedicine Network (OTN) can now operate at the facility.
“The OTN used to be in a small room and they regularly dealt with people with mobility challenges, like people with walkers,” Barr said. “So you’d have the nurse, the patient and a walker in a tiny area. But the bigger space has really improved matters.”
Quebec’s national assembly hall, known as the Salon bleu, will be extensively renovated with seating reconfigured into a “horseshoe” shape.
The plans were announced Thursday by the Bureau de l’Assemblée nationale (BAN), consisting of elected representatives from the Coalition Avenir Québec government, the Quebec Liberal Party and Québec solidaire. The Parti québécois does not have enough members to sit on the BAN.
The current seating arrangement in the Salon bleu is inherited from the British parliamentary tradition. It places the government and the “loyal opposition” face to face.
In 2020, the government House leader, Simon Jolin-Barrette, said he would like to see a “new layout to improve the working climate.”
The assembly’s former president, François Paradis, suggested taking advantage of the renovation work to rearrange the chairs in the hemicycle, like in France, but the idea was quickly dismissed by his successor Nathalie Roy.

Spring is just around the corner and one of the things I’ve been wanting to add to our backyard this year is a raised garden bed. Or maybe some 😉 I’m still a newbie to the world of gardening so I wanted to make sure I did my research before jumping into building and planting them. If you want to do the same this year then I hope this post helps you start your garden bed journey with confidence!
The breadth of my gardening really started last year when we built a Grade Two Herbal Cultivator and I was instantly hooked. I love to get out on the deck and chop up herbs to use in our meals. So are the kids! They loved watching them grow and we even planted our first tomato! I know they will enjoy this larger bed as much as I do.
Many people say the I-44 to Highway 412 junction needs to be overhauled and the Oklahoma Department of Transportation agrees. ODOT held a meeting to show people the two different options.
OPTION ONE:
In option one, the option ODOT preferred, I-44 would straighten three lanes in each direction.
ODOT says it will allow for increased speed and will add a two-lane road from I-44 east to SH-66 NB exit right.
The exit will be across the top of I-44.
That will reconnect the 193 to 66 north.
Option 1 was the preferred alternative because I-44 WB was straight, I-44’s design speed was 75 mph, a right-hand exit from I-44 EB to SH-66 NB was desired, and a 193rd East Avenue connection to SH-66 NB was included.
