After all, the small things in our home help define how we live our lives within our space. Even though we don’t always think about it, it’s the little things that can make a big difference—from the ingredients we put in our food to the simple home accents you source or projects make yourself.
For our November special, we want you to take a closer look at the little details, the small steps you should take—and relish—on the journey to home and kitchen mastery. We want to inspire you to appreciate the little things.

The kitchen is where you make meals for yourself and for the ones you love. In many ways, it is the heart of your home. So it plays a vital role in your daily life and interactions.
So simple home upgrades in the kitchen can help you design the life you want.
There is something comforting about having a well-stocked pantry just as much as knowing what the best ingredient substitutions can boost your kitchen confidence.
And there’s nothing like having tools in the kitchen that serve multiple purpose because you know you are getting the most bang for your buck. Simple culinary touches like Asian spices can deepen the flavours of a dish.
Keeping your workspace clean, in the kitchen and on your desk, can inspire both creativity and productivity. Even peppering your home with small plants and herbs can make it a more inviting space.
Creating do-it-yourself projects, like repurposing old stools or creating your own lush vertical garden can empower and inspire you to keep making things that can add utility to each corner of your home.
When it comes to simple home upgrades and every little thing you do in the kitchen and even the simplest of do-it-yourself projects, what matters is making the most of the little things, to make it great and make it yours.
This month, it’s all about the small things and big ideas.
