Summer Projects

With a lack of cash and a lot of time on my hands, I was able to accomplish a few of the projects on my Pinterest boards during my summer vacation.

First things first, I bought a new latte maker (you know how I love my lattes). And since, have learned how to make a mean white chocolate mocha using this recipe for white chocolate syrup! It pairs well with some honey almond toast topped with cinnamon.

Speaking of food, I also learned how to make French Macarons, which is something I've been wanting to try for quite some time. I must say that I am pretty proud to have mastered such a difficult recipe and am slightly addicted to these little cream-filled creations. I will post the recipe/method later!

As far as DIY projects go, these are my top 2 favorite ones that I complete this summer.

Anthro inspired floral chain necklace

The lyrics to I'll Look After You, which is the song I walked down the aisle to at my wedding. I struggled with finding a place for this new piece of art. I ended up using it to spice up my fireplace.

Here is an update I did to my hallway earlier this summer. It just needed to be brightened up a bit...

Just so you know...

Just so you know.... I found this fun website. It's called Tangxedo. It is a fun way to create word art for your space for FREE! You have to download the app first. Then head back to the website to run it. You can even upload your own pictures and add your favorite quotes or words. Here are a couple of examples of ones that I created.

It would be fun to create one for a child's bedroom with some of their favorite things. Or maybe a silhouette of your house with your house number, street name, and favorite memories. Oh the possibilities! 

Favorite Spaces

These few spaces look incredibly darling and cozy. What a dream it would be to incorporate these rooms into a single house. This living room is so cheerful and colorful. I love the use of patterns used in this space.

Check out Prudent Baby's blog! This is her backyard. She shares where she found all of these lovelies. She also provides a tutorial for the pallet couch she made.

What would you do like to do in these lovely spaces?
