I’ve been keeping a secret for almost a year. The secret is I have been making Starbucks equivalent lattes at home in less than a minute. How is this possible? With a Nespresso machine! I don’t normally get attached to inanimate objects but this machine is absolutely wonderful. If there is one thing you get for yourself this Black Friday/Cyber Monday weekend, I highly recommend a Nespresso machine.
Dairy Free Egg Bake
The holidays are coming! And what do holidays usually mean? Lots of people who need to eat. I’m sure you’re hashing out who’s bringing what to Thanksgiving but what about the other meals of the weekend? You know breakfast is the most important one! I have been dairy free for a little over two years and it is so hard to enjoy egg bakes that don’t use cheese. But that all changed with this dairy free egg bake. I’ve made it many times over the past year or so and it’s always a hit. Bonus, it’s really easy to put together and you can even prep the night before if you want. So come on, check out the recipe…
Super Simple Napkin Rings
Cloth napkins are great. They add a level of elegance and also are less wasteful to the environment. Last year I made extremely affordable napkins for the holiday season. Ever since then, I’ve been looking for the perfect napkin rings to go with them. I’ve searched high, I’ve searched low. But I didn’t expect to find them in the trim section at the fabric store! These super simple napkin rings might be one of my favorite DIYs yet.
Life Updates and A Challenge for You
It’s hard to believe it’s November already! Actually, it’s harder to believe we got 4 inches of snow since last night. It’s still early November after all. Anyway, the last two weeks have been pretty eventful for us so I’d thought I’d share what’s been happening. I also have a challenge fo you to do too. Don’t worry, it will make you feel really good. So what are you waiting for, keep reading!

Anthropologie Inspired Ceiling Fan Update
I grew up watching Trading Spaces. My mom and I would tune in every week to see what sort of crazy decorating would happen. Would they glue more straw on someone’s wall? What about flowers on every inch of a bathroom? Or maybe just some sand instead of real flooring? But one thing that was consistent was that every designer hated ceiling fans. And my mom would always ask how anyone could live without one. Well, I definitely am on team ceiling fan. Especially in a bedroom. But when we were picking one out for our master, I wanted something…unique. So I made a piece to spice ours up. An Anthropologie inspired ceiling fan update.

Basement Bathroom Mood Board
We are so close to getting our basement bathroom finished! We’ve ordered the tub and the vanity and have gotten quotes for flooring! Still quite a bit of work to do but after having the flooring samples for a week, I had to create a mood board to see how it all would come together. I’ve never really made a mood board – unless you count the built-in layout I did for our laundry room last year. It was so fun though that I am working on making one for other rooms in the basement too. For now, come and check out my basement bathroom mood board!
