This is a perfect pass around summer appetizer. The eggplant rounds are a great replacement for the usual baguette bruschetta. You can grill the eggplant well in advance, they do not need to be served warm. You can make the bruschetta toping several hours ahead, just remember, never refrigerate tomatoes! Put it all together last minute.
Directions
Ingredients
Step ONE: For the Perfect Grilled Eggplant Rounds: Preheat the grill to med high. Step TWO: Slice eggplants in 1/4 - 1/2 inch rounds, lay out on a large sheet of paper towel. Step THREE: Sprinkle with sea salt and let stand for 20 minutes, the eggplant will sweat. Blot the slices dry with paper towel. Step FOUR: Brush each slice of eggplant with olive oil on both sides (don’t miss spots).
Step FIVE: Grill the slices for about 5 minutes per side, the slices should be golden brown on each side and a little crispy, you may need more time. Place the rounds on a platter.
Perfect Grilled Eggplant Rounds
Step SIX: For the Bruschetta Mixture: Season the tomatoes with salt and put them in a colander to drain for 5-10 minutes (or longer). Transfer tomatoes to a bowl and fold in remaining ingredients, season with salt and freshly ground pepper.
1 box Cherry Tomatoes, each tomato sliced in 8 tiny pieces, chop 1/4 inch dice
Step SEVEN: Top each round with the bruschetta mixture.
2 small Eggplants Sea Salt for sprinkling Olive Oil for brushing on the eggplant Bruschetta Mixture
Sea Salt to taste 1 clove Garlic, chopped finely 1/2 tsp dried Oregano 1 Green Onion, white and light green part only, chopped fine 5-6 Basil Leaves, chopped finely 1/4 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Custom CABINETRY with a sense of style
As a designer, there are two renovation
requests that I get time and time again. The first is betterfunctioning storage systems, and the second is custom elements. When you combine the two, the result is pure magic. Now, you might not think that custom cabinets are particularly exciting, but don't be fooled! The effects of a well-planned, efficient and clean home will make your heart skip a beat. While custom cabinetry is a big ask in small spaces, the trend that is quickly gaining traction in homes of every size. The trend is all about making the most of every inch in your home, and doing it in a way that speaks to your unique style sensibilities But before making a big investment in custom cabinets, you need to determine how your space will be used.
Some areas of the home are made expressly for storage. In closets or pantries, stuff rules the realm and it's okay to adopt a more utilitarian design. In these spaces, function almost always come firsts. Other rooms such as the kitchen, bathroom and laundry room are used primarily as living/ working spaces with storage playing a supporting role. This is where fashion needs to be given a little extra love.
Here are some of my favourite trends in custom cabinetry, that will to take your storage system from "just practical" to "just... WOW." Custom colour When it comes to geometric shapes and patterns, a little can go a long way, so you want to ensure the pattern isn't competing with other elements in the space. Incorporate this trend without going overboard by using accents.
Custom dimensions Okay, extra-high cabinets aren't exactly a new trend, but there's certainly renewed interest in efficiently using every available inch of your home. This includes the wall space right up to the ceiling, or custom corner cabinets that tuck infrequently used or seasonal items out of the way, yet easily at hand. >>>

Open and closed shelving This will allow you to tailor your storage system and aesthetic to your personal storage style. What do I mean? Some people naturally tern to be messy and could benefit more from cabinets with doors that conceal the clutter. Meanwhile, a collector may appreciate open shelving to display his or her favourite finds.
"Smart" storage No conversation about "home" in 2018 would be complete without the obligatory tech topic, and custom cabinetry is no different. A hot trend is to incorporate charging and docking stations into your cabinetry, to eliminate countertop clutter in the form of phones, tablets, laptops, cables and cords. Beyond the basics, think wireless devices built right in, like speakers or a television!
Custom cabinetry can help you make the most of your home. When planning your storage system, think fashion and function right off the bat. After all, that is one of the benefits of creating custom versus buying a ready-made product off the shelf. You get what you really want. Custom elements for the home will cost more, but when done properly your custom cabinets will pay off tenfold.
