Decorating on a Budget with Antique Gold Frames

Sometimes I find decorating with wall art and personal photos to be a challenge. Currently, we are a small family, just my husband and me, and I love hanging photos of the two of us. But how many is too many?

One wall art alternative is really fun and allows you to use your creativity: antique gold frames!

Installing a Bathroom Vanity

One of the first steps with replacing the vanity was to cut the back of it so it fits flush against the wall. We have thick floorboard trim, so we needed to cut the back of the vanity in order for it to be flat against the wall. We decided to use a special tracer which consists of nails that you press against the floor board and you trace that outline onto the back of the vanity. Once we had an outline, we used a saw to cut the vanity. Once the vanity was cut, we tested it to make sure it was flush against the wall. It worked perfectly!

The Exciting Purchase of Our First Home

I am sure you have enjoyed all of the wonderful stories Jess and Peter have shared with you about the purchasing and updates they have made to their first home. I know I enjoyed reading them! I loved reading their stories so much that I wanted to share with you my own personal story about purchasing my first home with my husband, Keith.

Adventures with Soufflé Making

 With several guests coming to dinner, I wanted to make something that would be easy to make but also look impressive on our dining table.  My friend Allison was bringing her famous lasagna, so I decided to attempt something a little experimental since we would have the lasagna to fall back on as a main course.  I decided to make a leek soufflé, something I had made before and had some success with.  On the previous occasion for making this soufflé, it did not rise very well, so I was determined to get this soufflé to elevate!
