I've had a few canvases laying around for awhile and have been wanting to do something with them, but could never settle on what. Enter a 50% off Michael's coupon & some great inspiration from YHL. I also came to the conclusion that I'd love to attempt something for a gift. My little brother is getting married this fall & I thought it'd be fun to try and make something for their new place

I found a recipe for cheesy pesto bread on pinterest this week and knew I had to try it! It was DELICIOUS!!!! And with only 3 ingredients I will definitely be making it again! You could make it with any number of variations but pesto sounded so good so that's what I stuck with. The recipe came from ourbestbites and you can check it out for more detailed instructions but for the quick version...

This room is so soft & relaxing. The wall treatment & dark light fixture help add some contrast to all those neutrals! I love the blue accents and of course the duvet! (I love mine--in a different color)inspiration for decoration

I'm really liking round tables lately, too bad my dining room is way too small to attempt that...unless you know I wanted a two seater cocktail table, but lets face it, that's not very practical. bummer. I've also always wanted a ladder in my house...of course that would mean there needs to be shelves high enough that a ladder is necessary! I'll just keep dreaming about that one :)knight moves

I purchased 2 more packs of ring clips to try and improve the curtain situation in the living room...I think it looks a WHOLE lot better now that they're all hung the same way...but it created another problem...there's curtains that are purposefully too long to look wonderful, and then there's curtains that are too long and look retarded. I think you know which one this is...Guess I just created

I think this room is so cool. The patterned flooring may be a bit much for my taste, but I love the beds! How fun would it be to sleep in those? And pull the curtains shut? It'd be like sleeping in a fort all the time! Plus the view? Yeah I'm thinking I should find out where this room is and move in!inspiration for decoration

Sorry for the bad pictures, it is ridiculously difficult to get good shots while facing a sun-filled window! But I couldn't wait any longer to take some.For now they're operating as purely decorative, and I might add they make my window look much bigger! Never a bad thing, I'm thinking. Hopefully someday they'll get to have the spotlight to themselves but for now they're enjoying backing up their

There are too many great things in this kitchen...I don't even know where to start! The open shelf island? The light fixtures? The hood? The faucet? The stools? The cutting board inset on the island? The glass cabinets? And then there's the archway framing this beautiful room!knight moves

good things come to those who wait! :)I made these sugar cookies for my cousin's bridal shower...pretty cool huh? I love how personalized they are!

It is time for spring! I'm hoping if I get all ready & pretend it is spring then maybe the weather will follow suit! It's at least worth a shot!okay weather...I'm ready! Bring on the sunshine!

I started my second sewing project this weekend...wow, look at me, I'm ambitious! If you remember from this post, I got a clearance tablecloth at Target with the intention of hanging it as a curtain. Well I've since decided I'd like to cut it in half to make two curtain panels. Curtains are always more functional as two pieces, right? And now that I have some faith (granted very little) in my

It kind of amazes me how many beautiful kitchens I come across. I think its pretty cool that with how often they're used they can still have their time to shine :) Just check out that chandelier! It is all about the shine! And it looks good doing it. The pops of coral add so much to this room, but without the beautiful white/gray backdrop they'd be lost. Its just so perfect. And I'm thinking

Well sewing isn't the only thing on that list of mine...and if nothing else I at least have to update you on that one monthly item :)As for new recipes in February...I tried two new ones, both of them were delicious but one of them was also an epic failure. Surprisingly enough its the one I have pictures of :) It was a nutter-butter banana trifle, and let me tell you, it was yummy! However, two

How awesome are those windows?! And the dark floors? With that sheepskin rug and beautiful sofa? I'm so in love with the elements of this great room! It is gorgeous! And looks so inviting...I think that throw is there just to say "come lounge around with me"flourish design + style

I did a really big thing this weekend! Okay, maybe its not SO big...but I'm proud. Kind of ridiculously so. I attempted that huge scary goal on my list! My first sewing project...and...it was a smashing success!! As I mentioned here, I spent last weekend at my parents house. And seeing as my mom gave me her sewing machine to use we both figured this would be a good time for me to actually try it

I like to think there are many different kinds of milestones in our lives. We all value different things, and we reach them at different times. Nobody's milestones are the same...they are each unique to us. Which you gotta admit is why they're great :) Well this might seem weird, but my car (or Torree, as she's more affectionately called) reached a milestone of her own this weekend. As I was

This kitchen is beautiful! I love the tiled blacksplash all the way up the wall...the gray cabinets--perfection! That faucet is pretty stinkin' sweet as well! And I love the contrast the light island gives to this space. The final touch: a vase of pink tulips makes anything better!Cape 27
