    Formica® Laminate: A Modern Choice

    December 3, 2015 /

      Can you hear the yelps of joy coming from my place?  Yes, our kitchen redo is finally finished and I am so excited to share it with you! I have wanted to change our concrete kitchen countertops forever and was going back and forth on what I wanted.  The concrete just didn’t hold up very well over time and to get it fixed properly would have been quite expensive. And Corian and Marble countertops are gorgeous but weren’t really what I was looking for. I wasn’t sure exactly what I wanted but I kept looking through Pinterest and Instagram looking for the perfect kitchen design that suited my tastes.  So you can imagine my excitement…

    The PicCollage App and HP Help Create Memories

    November 6, 2015 /

    Last year I heard from a friend who is pretty tech savvy about this really cool app that lets you create fun collages from your photographs.   I was looking for an easy way to create cards and quotes from photographs I had taken. The PicCollage app is really easy to use and this is coming from someone not particularly that tech savvy!   I made this one from a day at the beach. There are over 100 million people who use PicCollage to combine photos, Youtube videos, funky fonts, sassy stickers and cute cutouts to create the prettiest collages you’ll ever see on a mobile device. They have stickers from Sanrio and LA-based independent designer, Sara…

    DIY: Scarecrow on a Stick

    October 14, 2015 /

    My son and I love to do these types of crafts. The arms and legs can move into fun poses and it’s on a stick so you can ‘plant’ them everywhere. The scarecrow is a favorite for our fall decor. You can find him between apples and pumpkins or pretty fall leaves. I have a pattern ready for you to download, print and color. You can add googly eyes, yarn for hair – be creative!   Basic Scarecrow: You will need: 4 Brass Prong Paper File Fasteners card stock to print on scissors clear tape a stick markers, crayons, pencils Print out the Scarecrow template.

    Dwell :: House Tour in Orange County

    August 18, 2015 /

      We had a chance to take a tour of the lovely Justine’s home.  She and her family moved into this neighborhood about two years ago but says she is still looking to do more things in the house.  I think it looks fabulous and love all the little touches that just say home.  You can tell a lot of thought went into the design of the home while keeping in mind her two adorable twins and husband.  Actually, she said her husband, Mike, had some input into the home décor, like the cool Buddha statue in the living room and superhero books in their new built-in, but most of the design comes…
