It’s almost summer time which mean beach time! I recently purchased a few bags of beach glass from the Christmas Tree Shop when I saw they were $1.29 per bag last weekend.

Easter Treats
Easter is just around the corner so I thought I would post some fun Easter treats I’ve brought to family gatherings. The first are Peeps Nest Cookies which start with a basic sugar cookie (the pre-made tube you slice and bake work fine). I use some food coloring and vanilla or cream cheese frosting to makeContinue reading “Easter Treats”

Boutique display in a closet (from a China cabinet!)
Last summer when Ryan and I were visiting his family at their shore house, we saw a china cabinet in their backyard and asked why it was out there. They told us they were planning on throwing it out since they had just purchased two matching cabinets to replace this one. As they were talking,Continue reading “Boutique display in a closet (from a China cabinet!)”

Linen Closet from a China Cabinet
I needed some additional space on my third floor (master bedroom and bathroom area) to hold odds and ends like linens, toilet paper, towels, soap, etc. Our bathroom has a small sink with some storage underneath and the bedroom has a typical bi-fold accordion door closet with limited space. No hall closets anywhere in theContinue reading “Linen Closet from a China Cabinet”
St. Paddy’s Day
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! I found this four leaf clover growing with my peonies last summer and thought it would be a great photo for today. St. Paddy’s day makes me miss my Irish maiden name and my family. My mom is a skilled bodhran player and occasionally plays with some local Irish folkContinue reading “St. Paddy’s Day”
Patioooooh
I bought my house in September a few years back and because it got cold out pretty quickly that year, I couldn’t do much to the small patio area off the kitchen. I did have months to stare at it and swear I would make it pretty. It was so boring! Gray cinder block withContinue reading “Patioooooh”
Ikea Chair Redo and No Sew Valance
Back in my spacious Connecticut apartment, I bought four “Roger” chairs for about $60 each from Ikea to fit a small dining table I had. My parents, who live in Rhode Island, were able to store them until I bought my house in Philadelphia. The new house had an area for a larger dining table IContinue reading “Ikea Chair Redo and No Sew Valance”
