Allergies?

Standard

It’s that time of year again!!! Buy local “unfiltered” honey for your allergies- start NOW!  One teaspoon/tablespoon every day, besides being delicious you have the extra benefit of keeping your allergies at bay! Andddd yes, those are pigs – salt & pepper shakers, thank you Tara!

Crumbl Cookies

Standard

There’s a new store in town . . . Crumble Cookies!!! I stopped by there last night after having dinner with one of my girlfriends.  She’d been telling me about them at dinner so I was hoping to make it there before they closed . . . they close at MIDNIGHT!!!  ANDDDDDD they deliver!!!! ANDDDDDD they are crazy good!

I bought the “Party Box” to take some in to work today for a Valentine treat.

The “Party Box” is $25.50 for 12 cookies (just over $2 a cookie).  If you buy them singularly they’re $3 a cookie.  And let me just say – worth every penny! LOL

They’re located around 144th – east side of I-25 next to “Your Pie” . . . but who cares where they are . . . they’ll deliver to you!!!

Curtain Inspiration

Standard

I loveeee the curtains I purchased from Target for my studio (https://tinyurl.com/y4x2odnv).  I found these stickers at Hobby Lobby and they’re removable.  So when you love polka dots .  . . why not add them to your walls? LOL

Also . . . notice the drawer knobs!  Hobby Lobby!

So fun . . . they just make me happy!

Closet Improvements

Standard

So finishing my bedroom floor into the “old” closet opened up the opportunity to finally work on the “old closet”.  The opening in the wall where you see the stud was actually the back of my house before the addition.  I had to finish the flooring before I could work on the door trim so . . .

It took me awhile to get those darn supports boards off the wall!  The support boards held a shelf over the hanging closet bar and they were in here for life – hence the holes in the sheetrock, lol.

Once I got those boards down I painted.  The pink is the same as my bedroom – Behr “Barely Blush” so pretty.  And the cream color is the perfect cream but I forgot to get the name (TBA).

My first time cutting sheetrock and it wasn’t too bad.  I didn’t have to worry to much about it because you don’t see it.  I used it to fill in behind the door jam.  And I used a 1×6 to separate the two colors and too cover up the holes I made in the sheetrock, lol.

Still have to caulk, paint the trim and add the cute stuff!  More to come!
