Brown sugar iced latte

Something about springtime makes me want a sweet iced latte. I made this brown sugar simple syrup and had a nice afternoon rejuvenating latte on a warm afternoon.

I decided on hall lights finally!

Image is from the Wayfair website Back in this post I talked about the different options I was looking at for the hallway lights and I finally decided! Funnily enough, it is one of those decisions like with my fireplace that I get so tired of trying to decide that one day I just order …

Fireplace styling with strip lights and removable wallpaper

When we originally moved into our house, everything was a flat beige color. I thought the color looked a little yellow, and with a big shepherd dog, it was impossible to keep clean. About a quarter up the wall, there would be dirt streaks from her rubbing up against it. If you've ever had flat …
