It’s True, This is Our Garage!

Okay, so I had to share this for my dh. The finished walls in the garage were a huge selling factor for him when we bought this house. We don’t have a finished basement, but I have determined that if we ever wanted to have a larger party, we could use our garage […]

Still got “the blues”….

I wanted to quickly show you my kitchen, so you can see how “blue” is carried thru my home. The top of cupboards are a great display area for lots of things….use your imagination and utilize the space!

Season Your Dishes

This is an easy way to make seasonal dishes without having to buy dishes for each season. Use a set of red or white plates and top them with clear glass plates. Arrange different seasonal items between the two plates. The red plates seem to go with many holidays. The white ones will go […]
