Foodie Friday

In Petosky, MI!


Since this is a wedding weekend, I thought these macaroon's were festive.
It is gorgeous here...sunshine and about 50 degrees...perfect!
(posting from my iPad, not sure how it looks until after it's done)

Hitting The Road

going to Petosky, Michigan

Have you ever been?  

It sits on Little Traverse Bay

which is part of Lake Michigan.

Gorgeous!

I've never been to this part of the U. S.

I hear downtown is a fun place.

Get to see my son and DIL and her family. 

 Her big sis is getting hitched!

The high for the weekend is 48 degrees!  

I better enjoy because the 'hot' in 'Hotlanta' is coming soon.

Project Monday

MD bedroom projects had me looking for tables that we can use to flank the bedside in one room.

If we can't find something in the home we go out looking.  This time we scored in the home.

Left over Annie Sloan Paris Gray paint I used on my sideboard last year. 

I didn't get the lid back on well so the paint got thick, a wee bit of water does the trick!

I've never painted with latex, thought I might try.  This is some left over SW 7650 Ellie Gray I had used on a different project.  Funny that it's almost the same as the Paris Gray.

I removed this handle to the tea cart.

I love using this outdoor tablecloth as my drop cloth.  You'll see it in most of my project posts.  It works so much better than other plastic, it has a cloth bottom and doesn't tear.

I thought I might try a two-toned application...not sure.

Annie Sloan Paris Gray and Old White.  I used the latex on the tea cart and Sloan on the table (remember Bombay?).

I also did some distressing....not sure about this either. 

I'm not finished, will look some more tomorrow.  May end up painting white and glazing and finishing off with clear wax. Will let ya know.  

I did some textile shopping while in the neighborhood of Lewis and Sheron and Forsyth Fabrics here in ATL the other day.  Still need to get to the ADAC.

Carbo loading!

Blueberry and Cornmeal Pancakes

I must be in gooey carb deficit,

I think I am craving this whole stack.  Wonder if I could actually make it through?

Blueberry Muffin Cookies

Must be something about blueberries too.  

They are good for you....hehe.

How about these Breakfast Jam Straws?  Yum.

Bet 'cha can't eat just one!

Bedroom Inspiration

Moore Designs has two new bedroom projects.

Source

Since pictures speak 1000 words...

Source

...the fun for me is gathering different design styles

Source

and showing options.

Source

Don't you just love monogramming?

Source

After that has been established I present different scenarios of paint and fabric colors/patterns and textures and textiles. 

Source

Clean and white...love this too.

Source

There are times that one needs to be pushed from her comfort box and 'just trust me'!

Source

Source

 Other's like what I do and give free reign. :)

Source

 When it comes to color and textiles

Source

I am the preverbal kid in the candy store.

Source

How about a stencil instead of wallpaper?

Source

I have a serious addiction to tufting, so I think my clients should like it too!  :)  

Soft linen bedding, THE best.

Source

There's something about nail heads!

Source

Slight hint of color or...

Source

 bold?  

How about you?  

Do you dare to mix and match this way?

Foodie Friday

It's Saturday morning...a wee bit late but I thought some breakfast offering might be good!

I start every morning with steel cut oats not only because I like them but it's a great way to start the day with healthy goodness.

Source

But gosh darn, sometimes a girl loves a sweet treat!  

Source

I LOVE anything that has cinnamon and sugar.

Oh gosh, I'm drooling already.

Source

Ok...maybe you prefer something savory.

Source

Warm cheesy gooey yummy.

Source

Lemon and blueberries...they're both good fer ya!

So what's for breakfast at your house?

Outdoor Livin'

Patios!

The weather over the weekend was just perfect.

Source

We ate dinner outside enjoying a lovely breeze.

Pinterest

I had the citronella candles lit, if there's a 'skeeter' around he surely finds Mr. MD!

Pinterest

So much I love about this...

stone patio, fireplace and the pergola.

Houzz

Do you have an outdoor fireplace?  

Tumbler

Once all the newly planted plants fill in, 

our garden will be lovely.

Source

No outdoor fireplace?...how about one of these?  Yes please!

I hope you are able to get out and enjoy the weather especially if you are in the south, before the humidity comes.  I know you Californian's have this weather all the time.  Lucky!

What happened to the week?

Got a couple of bike rides in - yay, so I guess I was ridin' instead of writin'!  

Here's what's for dinner, you will love it. 

Bobby Flay's

Sixteen-Spice-Rubbed Chicken Breast

with Black Pepper Vinegar Sauce and 

Green Onion Slaw

Source

The spices are amazing - had to go to my local Mexican grocer to find some of the peppers.

Source

Lemon Mint Cucumber Water

Refreshing, along with the spicy chicken.

Source

And to top it off...

Tyler Florence' 

Baked Lime Pudding Cake

Citrus tempers spicy food don't you agree?

Don't forget to bring some flowers in.

Source

If you don't have any of this burlap wide wrap, go get yo-self some.  It's great for many things!
