Adventures in Gardening

I don't have a green thumb, but I thought I'd try growing herbs on our sunny back deck. I'm excited to cook with fresh basil, thyme, and parsley! Recipe ideas, anyone?

Community Market

Yesterday, Scotty, Dovi and I explored our neighborhood including the Bronzeville Community Market. Though we arrived a little late (11:30-ish) and only a couple of vendors remained, we were able to gather a few beautiful items for our Sunday Brunch of cinnamon swirl toast, fresh eggs, and herb potatoes.

Craftroom--Phase 1 & 2

Before--Phase 1

After--Phase 2

A 1950's kitchen table, some accessories from Ikea, and a work table made from an old six-panel door, 2x2's, and a stock cabinet helped transform my craftroom. The space is still in it's early stages...imagine a little paint, wall decor, and shelves. It'll be fab. Stand by for Phase 3 of the Craftroom.

New Home, New Projects

Three weeks ago, my hubby, Scotty, and I moved out of our one bedroom, one bathroom, 900-square foot apartment into a four bedroom, two and half bath, two living area, 3000-square foot condo. Things are coming along. We've been making multiple trips to home improvements stores, homewares depots, discount stores, and flea markets. Here are "Before Photos" of the few of the blank canvas we're starting with...
