Chalkboard Paint is the New "Put a Bird on it".

Seriously, it's gotten so ubiquitous that I find myself flying into a rage every time another "brilliant idea" pops up on Pinterest.

Check out pinterest's plethora of chalkboard paint related crafts.

My Mid-Century Mess.

Source: None via Sunny on Pinterest




I've given myself a lot of projects for this summer (not that summer means an end to my regular work - no sirree), and this is the first of them. This mid-century dresser needs quite a bit of work, starting with reattaching some of the veneer. From there I plan to paint it light grey, add some new hardware and contact paper the living daylights out of those drawers. :)

Peanut Butter (OMG).

Homemade peanut butter cups have become my go-to for parties, potlucks, bar mitzvahs, boat christenings, weddings, funerals, baby showers, royal weddings, quince, etc.
While they're a bit labor intensive, the end result is well worth the effort and your friends will be impressed.
Recipe to follow.

If You Wanna be My Lover.




We had a party this weekend in honor of my roommate's birthday, and the Spice Girls attended.

White/Wash.

Wood/Grain.


I have several yards of that IKEA fabric sitting on my sewing table at this very moment.
I was unsure what to do with it, but now this might be the solution.  Of course, Z just
informed me that he'd like a duvet cover using said fabric.  We'll see.
