Consider your passions. This is the easiest place to start your potential blog topic list. Think about what you are interested in — maybe now, or what you were interested in years ago. I’ve heard of some bloggers “reviving” an old passion they had forgotten about HOME BINDER WITH FREE PRINTABLES! So that's my home binder! If you are a printable lover like I am, the easiest way to see all of the free printables that we offer on the blog (including three more free printable binders) is to visit our printables library.

CHOOSING UNDER CABINET LIGHTING FOR THE KITCHEN If you intend to use the under cabinet lighting as task or accent lighting, you’ll want to find lighting in the 200 to 500 lumens per foot range. For very subtle accent lighting, 100 to 200 lumens per foot will be a good choice. Abby and I chose lights that provide 266 lumens per foot.

(With this type of build, they had a certain number of cabinet styles we could choose from, a certain number of CREATING AN ORGANIZED OFFICE WITH THE IKEA PAX SYSTEM Create an organized office with the IKEA PAX system!
