Nice Kitchen/Family Room

This family room / kitchen looks pretty perfect to me. I love those chairs with the shared ottoman. The color palate is so soothing. via Happy first day of September. It rained overnight and it's so much cooler! I slept extra late this morning because I totally forgot to set my alarm. See you later. xo

Tater Tots Cooked on a Panini Press

Yep. Tater Tots right out of the bag. This idea came to me recently when there was nothing in the house to eat and it was too hot to turn on the oven. Just line them up frozen hard as a rock, close the lid, and look after a while. They are flat and crispy and delicious. Good for a snack anytime, as a side with burgers, or as tiny hashbrowns for breakfast. Perfect comfort food. You are welcome! xo

Black and white etchings

A loose bookplate I found in my stash of old paper. via

I have always loved black and white etchings in thin black frames. via

Can you believe August is over? Boo Hoo.

Bedtime -- Sunday Night

This will be me pretty soon. I might watch a movie on my DVD player but I doubt I will be able to stay awake until the end. I will probably wake up early and watch the rest in the morning. Good night. xo via

Seed Saving Envelope

I designed this seed saving envelope back in 2011. Now is the time to start saving your seeds so I thought I should publish it again. Click on the image to print it full size. Turn the page around and print another to get two on one page. You can also save the photo to your photo editing software to adjust the size to your liking and print multiples on a page. Share your seeds with a friend. Tuck into an envelope along with a card as a small gift. xo

Another Great Kitchen

This kitchen looks lovely, doesn't it? I would have skipped the window treatment though. Don't you wish we could see the whole room? via

Have a great weekend. It's hot again in New Jersey and very humid. xo

Blue and White Love

Interior Design : Anthony Baratta LLC | lovely blue and white wallpaper in this pretty, fresh traditional vignette with Hepplewhite or Sheraton sideboard and blue and white porcelains. This was well thought out with the look of a recessed nook and the window placement. Really nice! via
