While taking the pictures for the “Wall Of Baskets” post last week, I realized that I haven’t shared any “before and after” photos of our kitchen in our Houston, Texas home.

I added a satin ribbon bow in the lower center and a metallic gold chain to… Continue Reading
I have a confession to make: I am a jar hoarder – a glass jar hoarder to be exact. I keep and store every single food and spice jar of any size and shape as I truly believe that I will need it in the future. Actually, I can’t remember the last time I threw one… Continue Reading
