My vision: a bookish, cozy academia restaurant where you can pick up a quiche or some tea! I want to go with gem colors—deep violet, navy blue, purple

As a marketer AND someone who has redesigned her rental kitchen 2 times in full (also very much with the intention that it will help me cook more - it does!), this is a complete unlock

This is so so so fun! I also need more details into how to make these grab n go lattes myself. What a treat to wake up to in the morning.

I designed labels for my homemade limoncello this summer and it completely elevated the experience, while making a cute gift for friends and family! Now I’m renovating my kitchen and thinking about this branding idea 👀

Would love to see a list of possible themes for a kitchen! From sleek and sophisticated to cottage to general store etc. Some buzzwords could be super helpful in deciding our own style. (Or even a style flowchart 👀 could be funnnn)🫶

Love this so much☕️

For the pre-batched matchas and lattes, do you make them for the week ahead? how long do they last? (I use non-dairy milk so I’m imagining that extends the shelf life?!)

Ooo great question! I will include a break down in a future article in the series. But usually a week! (But we drink them faster than that haha)

This settles it, I may fiiiiinally have to upgrade to paid! I love your kitchen-restaurant concept and already cook so much at home, but I need a way to make it more fun! We moved into our house earlier this year, but while all the other rooms got painted (black and dark purple, lavender, deep green, pink), we left the kitchen white because we hope to eventually redo it. Hopefully this will bring some more color in :)
