How to Create a Winter Themed Hot Chocolate Bar
Now that Christmas has come and gone we are often left with the question of how to decorate until spring. It’s not quite time to break out the Easter decor, and it’s still really cold in most of the country, so I decided this year to decorate some areas of my home with a snowy winter white.

Add Some Festive Fun to your Chandler
When decorating for the holidays, it’s all about the lights. We all have lights on our trees, lights in our windows, lights in our yards. What what about the lights in our home.

Rustic Wooden Shelves Made from Upcycled Wood
Aren’t these shelves just gorgeous? They were so easy to make and they are very special to me because of the wood used, but they would be equally stunning with any type of old reclaimed wood. In a moment, I will show you step-by-step how to make these shelves, but first a short story about the wood I used. These gorgeous shelves were made from boards originally used by my Dad to frame his vegetable garden, and to make it even more special, the boards were made from a tree cut from my uncle’s farm. After Dad passed away, I brought the wood home knowing that I would find…
