This is one recipe I've been wanting to share for some time but it takes enough work to make the dish. I'm never up to photographing it but this time around I tried to squeeze in some pictures. It's a macaroni and cheese recipe that I've been working on for a few years now. Ever…
Every spring and summer, we get inspired with new recipes. Fresh fruit is everywhere, the sun is shining, and the days are longer. It just really inspires us to try new recipes, especially cocktails. What new garnish can we try? What kind of glass would go well with that drink? A new liqueur, yeah! Because…
Look who is here! Spring has made it's appearance and is looking mighty fine. Yes, it's still chilly in Louisiana, but winter is officially over. I tried really hard to find things to love about winter. We bought a fire-pit at the end of summer and it came in handy during the winter months. During…

Once we embarked on making over our bedroom, I fell in love with this Ashely Lasseigne's fabric. Ashley's fabric and wallpaper is very well-designed and it's all inspiring. Very quickly, I decided the fabric would make an awesome upholstered headboard. So I reached out to Ashley and she also agreed with my idea. The project…
For the past six weeks, I embarked on a design challenge, the One Room Challenge, to makeover one space in my home. I was able to join as a guest participant and decided to tackle my master bedroom. Each week, I shared updates here on the blog of my progress. Some weeks, I progressed a…
Whew! Guys, there is less than one week left in the One Room Challenge and I'm pretty excited about that! The big reveal day is on November 8 and I cannot wait to share the whole space with you. I've wanted to quit several times in this design challenge. It really pushes you in every…
Well, week four of the One Room Challenge is here and I must be honest. I didn't get much done. I feel so frustrated to admit it but it's the truth.
