love letters to my g

You are sugar and a whole lot of SPICE.....and everything nice.

I love that you love to get glamed up.  I love that you want to be so girly and fancy all the time. I do admit that some time I want u to throw on a pair of leggings a tee shirt and run out the door with me. 

That wouldn't be U!

I have learned how to roll with ur fussy, glam girl style....I invented the gypsy bun for u.

( for when I am to lazy to brush ur hair out....I pull it high up on ur head in a bun and add a clip.)

I know that you can always be won over with a little lip gloss and I can make any outfit fancy by letting you add 17 different necklaces and bracelets to the mix.

I love u nanny poo poo!!!

dont u love that my hair is dripping wet but her hair was curled and pinned in a retro updo......what a diva!

busy busy busy...

I have been very busy around here trying to get all the Christmas decor up..I want a very specific look, but i think i might have to blend what I have with what I want.

• wants

fresh pine and mercury glass....

vintage brush trees...LOVE....this has been a hard one to find!

I am making this today or tomm....wish me luck!!

subway art dresser....Martucci style

So i first saw this done  here at lindauer design.

Amazing right!   I love the look it screams industrial chic.  I wanted it in my family room so I needed a bigger dresser to do mine on. I choose this bad boy..

I sanded it down and applied my own version of chalk paint..( i got the recipe from No minimalist)...I will share next week. I want to test it out totally and I have not sanded it down yet .

So I painted the drawers the base color white...

Then i added letters from micheals...I choose to do favorite islands on top drawer...street names on second and family nic names on bottom...I wanted it personal.
I can always paint over it when I want to sell it.

 than I painted right over all of it...

and thats were she is right now...life got crazy and the holidays slapped me right in the face.

I will keep u posted on her and tell u how the chalk paint held up and distressed....

THANKS-giving...love letters

yummy yummy ...get in my tummy!

I love to cook.....But you all know my issue with food.  For those of u who dont...(shhh Im diabetic) .  Oh hell. I am type 1. I have to control my carb intake because I no longer make insulin. Insulin is that  stuff your pancreas secrets to turn food into energy. Non d-listers get to eat all day tomorrow and never wonder how much insulin to inject because ur pancreas functions normally ( lucky U).

Ok. Ok. I will get back to the food.  I am in charge of dessert. These are some of the inspirational desserts I have found!

I will make the pumpkin roll....family tradition!!

I love the idea using jars!!

chocolate pumpkin bites


pumpkin pie thumb bite cookies....






Happy baking everyone!

tuesday is find day!!

I went searching for 2 very specific items and was lucky enough to find both.

First I wanted an old book .... captain g and I found a couple. Yes...Yes g always wears her fur when we go glam thrifting!




 I also needed a mid mod dresser for a project I had in mind...

I started on the dresser and will give u a peek tomm at the start...but the finish will be next week.  I am trying to get all the christmas stuff out this week so the dresser is on hold. 

laundry room sneak peek....

I have been working on my laundry room all last week.  I wanted to redo it. 

I could show u a million photos of amazing laundry rooms that i would love to have but i have a tiny hole of a room so this is the best inspiration for my size room....

I am also making this chandy for it.....





I bought everything u need for 10 dollars at the dollar store.  I think I am going to keep my accent color in antique white....I am going to keep it simple and very girly.....ok... so are u ready for the before shot.

here she is.....

Nothing amazing,just a typical tiny laundry room I have been wanting to make-over for a while now.


I will try to get photos up of the paint by the end of the week...I am almost done.
