Glam Farmhouse Kitchen Glam farmhouse style is my new thing. No, it's not a term that I've heard of. But it describes where my style is evolving too. It's a mix of  modern, glam and farmhouse style. A few years ago farmhouse style was in my home, and then it morphed into Shabby farmhouse style. And now I'm changing once again because I've purged most of my personal collection. So why did I purge everything? Ha...it's all good. I'm pretty happy to have gotten rid of things that were taking over my house. And guess what? I'm not planning on bringing lots of new things into my home as far as decor. Instead I've decided to only bring in farmhouse decor style that will add value to my home. I bet you're shocked that I'm not searching through thrift stores to find cool treasures. Well, ... View Post

Create The Perfect Coffee Bar Up until a few years ago, I had no idea what a coffee bar or coffee station was. I had my coffee mugs stored in my kitchen cabinet. My coffee was kept in the bag in came in, and I stored it in my cabinet. And my coffee maker was one of those with a  glass carafe  coffee machines.   ( This post contains affiliate links, see disclosure policy) After breaking several of those glass carafes..... don't ask. I decided that maybe it was time for a change. So I purchased a new coffee machine that would brew a pot of coffee, but didn't use a carafe. Sounds perfect right? And every coffee bar needs a good coffee machine, am I right? My new carafe free coffee maker didn't last long. It stopped making hot coffee and I needed to brew a full pot of ... View Post

Table Setting Perfect For Fall Creating a fall table setting doesn't have to be complicated. I'm going to share a few tips on how to create a very simple table setting for everyday or if you're entertaining. You'll see that I've used pieces that you can get easily, some may even be in your own backyard. Tips On Creating A Simple Fall Table Setting Add a tablecloth.
