Are you tired of chocolate recipes? It seems it’s all I do lately. It’s not because I don’t cook anything else (I do!) but it’s usually hard to photograph savory dishes – it takes a lot of forethought, and more often than not, it means I’ll eat it cold. I’ve been thinking about a way… CONTINUE READING →
Remember a while ago I told you that we were planning on doing our own tablecloths with Ikea fabric? Yeah, apparently I severely miscalculated the amount of fabric we were going to need (as in, we bought about half of what we needed). As it turns out, if we were to purchase twice as much,… CONTINUE READING →
Check out Part I, Part II, Part III, Part IV and the reveal here. Last time we talked about the living room cabinets, they were looking like this: Yeah, not so great. Thankfully we already painted the drywall and we also added the wood top, so things are looking better! It looks like it’s almost… CONTINUE READING →
Today I want to share a brownie recipe with you! It’s from King Arthur Flour and it is awesome. Now, don’t get me wrong – my other brownie recipe is still my favorite one (I honestly think it will always be) but this is a great, rich, deeply chocolatey recipe. The other one is a… CONTINUE READING →
The burlap arrived Monday afternoon! It’s a heavy package, but it looks great. In case you’re wondering, I ordered it from Jutestoff, a German website. I don’t speak German, but with a little help of Google Translate I managed quite well. The service was excellent – they sent me some free samples beforehand – and… CONTINUE READING →
I really wanted to be done with the living room cabinets – it seems like the project is dragging on forever – but we’ve been busy this weekend so we didn’t get to work on that. Instead, I’ve been researching oven options for the last several weeks, and we’re going to have to pull the… CONTINUE READING →
As soon as I saw the description of these, I knew I had to try them: cookie dough crossed with pie crust crossed with coffee. Who wouldn’t want a taste of that? I made them the other day, and they were gone way faster than I care to admit. Delicious, and I’ll definitely be making… CONTINUE READING →
I did it! I finished the challenge in time! Check out the challenge at Young House Love, Bower Power, Hi Sugarplum, and The Great Indoors, too. My post title gives mine away: I designed a wedding marriage memory book inspired by this one: I originally pinned it from Carrie at DreamGreenDIY. She got hers for… CONTINUE READING →
When we left the living room project last week, we had already cut down the cabinets and rebuilt them again. The next step was to build them in, but first we had to finish patching and repainting the wall from when we added a couple of outlets and switched the radiators. Luckily for us, we… CONTINUE READING →
Okay, so it’s really two bowls if you count the frosting. But it’s a really easy cake to make – perfect for a birthday if you’re in a hurry, for example, and it tastes great. I actually baked this yesterday after browsing my Pinterest board, so does it count as my Pinterest challenge? Just kidding…. CONTINUE READING →
