CIL challenged me to come up with a fun, cottagey, project to share with all the cottagers at the upcoming Spring Cottage Life Show in Mississauga April 1-3, and to help them spread the good word about their line up of Woodcare products (CIL Woodcare Distinction™, Fine Wood Finish and Canadian Wood Oil) exclusively available at The Home Depot that are perfect for all kinds of different outdoor projects where we want lasting beauty and protection.What’s more cottagey than relaxing and enjoying a few festive beverages out on the deck with friends and family?.

I’m really proud of how well this project turned out.

It’s both impressive-looking and super-functional and of course, it was pretty easy to pull together since we have an almost unlimited supply of barn wood out back!All I did was paint out the backsplash area with a little bit of paint left in the bottom of a sample pot (and clearly I didn’t even do too detailed of a job) and the difference it makes in the feel of the kitchen is tremendous.

It’s one of those things that just brings out everything else around it.In fact, one of my mother-in-laws was here the other day and she just now noticed things like the new lighting and the cornices that have been up since February.

Suddenly it looked like I had done a whole ton of work in there, but really all I did was take about an hour of my time one evening and slop a little paint on there..It even make the area around my super old range look a little more current..
