Electrolux Dream Kitchen via SewWoodsy.com

I think by now its safe to say that everyone knows I have a food blog. When we were purchasing our house three and a half years ago, of course the kitchen was top priority followed by what room would soon become my craft room.

We added new appliances and added bead board to the exterior kitchen island, exposed … [Read more...]

Two months before we left for Europe (last summer) I decided I wanted to give our living room a little makeover.

I had all the hopes in the world to get this done before Europe.... well that never happened. And once I got back from Europe I was very much still on vacation mode. I also realized during the … [Read more...]
