blogwatch: where we’ve been clicking this week
The Kitchn takes us on one of our favorite tours ever: through Louis Armstrong’s cool blue kitchen, complete with piano hinges on the cabinets and a built-in countertop food processor. There are quite a few steal-able ideas, like the lucite shelf over the window above the sink.
This Changeable Chair by designer Wing Fung Ng reminds us of the chair/stepstool combo we spotted in Armstrong’s kitchen with a modern twist. Via MocoLoco.
Ferment your own black garlic, intentionally, at Craft.
Build the best slip-n-slide ever, with the instructions at Make magazine. Yes! Grownup sized!
Psst! Wanna score some affordable versions of the Louis Ghost chair? CasaSugar gives us the goods.
Swiss Miss has been one of our favorite resources for new iphone apps we can’t live without. Here’s another fun one: Letterboard, which turns your phone into a hotel convention center sign!
Tired of throwing those broccoli stems in the compost? Then do what the fine frugal folks at Thirty Bucks a Week did: broccoli stem pickles!
And how about dessert? Or breakfast? Both? Over at the New York Times, they’ve got us longing for elderflower pancakes with whipped cream. Yes, please.
We did the Louie Armstrong house tour a few months ago, and the kitchen was by far the best part of the house (though the walk in closet, which was essentially a small bedroom, was a close second!)
