EASY AFTERNOON PROJECTS
I brought this little guy home today from Anthropologie. He’s a Scottish Terrier bottle opener made entirely of metal. I couldn’t resist his mystic charm and noble allure, so I grabbed him off the sale basket the very moment I saw him. At the register, I was asked to pay even less than the reduced… Continue Reading
I’ve had this ceramic decorative vase for many years. It used to be a silver shiny metallic color. My sister Irene had bought it in Romania, had packed it carefully in her suitcase, brought it to Greece (that’s where we lived at the time) and gave it to me as a Christmas present.

Ever get tired of the same home decor? Whenever this happens to me, I use this super easy, totally free, instant (and even healthy!) re-do. I pull out an extra large, beautiful serving platter, fill it with fresh fruit, arrange them nicely, and.. It’s ready to place wherever I need some change! On my kitchen… Continue Reading
