I was looking for recipe inspiration today (grocery store day got delayed to Tuesday, so the recipe hunt is on), when I ran into this little gem: Sure, it might just look like a cookbook, but it’s also a beautiful blog. I love it! I might not have tested a single recipe, but the photography/watercolor…
Guest Bedroom Paintover
This wasn’t quite a makeover, because only a few things changed in the room between the before and the after. But it is definitely a change. This was the guest bedroom a month or so ago: Sure, the messy bed in the middle of the room wasn’t a great decorative start. Those peachy yellow walls…

The second half of the work day was much like the first. Nothing terrible happened, I just felt like I was scrambling to keep up all day long. So that happened for nine hours, and then I went to the grocery store and found my way home with ingredients in hand. I picked recipes yesterday…
Small, but valuable.
