Oh Pantone…let me count the ways. No really, you’re everywhere. Especially in my house! I’ve got Pantone espresso cups, postcard notes, coffee mugs, an iphone case and of course my handy dandy go-to color chip pallets that I use on the daily. My word let’s not even confess the fever I have for your X-Ref...
As I’ve stated before, I’m not the type of gal who needs excuses to throw a party including copious amounts of salsa, homemade tortillas, hopefully an oversized piñata shaped like a strange animal and Tijuana Brass blasting on the record player. Somehow it’s embedded in my midwestern-born blood. Makes sense, obviously. I’ve also got…whoa, whoa, whoa!! Wait uno momento amigos…we absolutely cannot continue...
Two Words: Ombre. Obsessed. Be it pink gradated garments, submerged sunnies or these trendy tresses. I am in absolute crush mode with fabulously fading pink hearts in my eyes. Maybe I’m just holding a tight grip onto my Jem and the Holograms days, but I declare heck to the heck yes on this dip dye business....
If I could, I would have brunch on the daily. I’m talking about patio sitting on a sun-soaked Sunday kind of action. I’m also talking about bubble sipping filled with laughter and sharing something preferably with an egg on it. You know, the weekend works. For me, brunch is more than a meal… it’s a magical time capsule of...
Fact: If you visit Texas without eating proper BBQ…don’t bother visiting again. No really, it’s a felony. Okay, not really…but you probably already know this much – BBQ is life around those parts. Serious business people. BBQ POR VIDA on the real. Regardless of “I’m a better grill master thank you” arguments among neighbors, there...
Okay first off can we talk about this kitchen? Wrightson Stewart, hear me out… I am dizzy, passing out with hearts in my eyes. You get me! The wood table, those shell chairs…that pop of color fabric amazement happening over on that built in bench?! Eeeep! I have palpitations of dream house proportions. I want...
Dearest Bulgur, Where have you bee all my life?! You are a super duper grain and my heart pounds for you, and pounds in good health (so much fiber, so much protein, so much Vitamin B)! I can’t believe how good you are for me and yet don’t taste like it. Your texture...
You best believe I took part in celebrating National Grilled Cheese Day this afternoon! Where this version isn’t as gooey as your more traditional cheese sammies, it is still worthy of your lunch time-ing. Dinner, even… It’s a stud like that. Roast up any veg you might have in the fridge, grill them up for...
Hey good lookin’… Maybe you’ve seen me around? Yeah…I’m pretty into you. {swoon} I’ve been lucky enough to have Handsome Coffee Roasters in my life for a bit now. I live in a neighborhood where coffee culture has a strong, passionate, caffeine pounding heart and was first introduced at one of my favorite little spots...
Maybe it’s all the gorgeous colored eggs I’ve seen pooping up on the internets today, but I’ve got pastels on the noggin. I’ve also got quite the spring wishlist which seems to be getting longer by the second. Of course most of it involves sprucing up the home ware collection with some fresh finds! I...
I’ve been playing Restaurant Story for exactly 8 days, 3 hours and 9 minutes….{ding ding} hold on, my tomato bisque is ready. Things started casually with two burners, a handful of tables, happy customers…heck, I even made enough money to paint stripes on part of the walls and add three windows. Sure some food spoiled...
Well hello there! Yes, I realize I’ve been a little quiet around these parts. Travel to weddings and travel to family and well all kinds of lovely things have taken me away from head quarters. All happy times maaayyybe with the exception of mouth surgery that happened a few days ago. Let’s just say I’m...
