Recipe for One: Buttermilk Biscuits

01.29.20

Living alone has a lot of perks, like watching whatever you want on TV or no one judging how many buttermilk biscuits you ate in one sitting. Solitary living also has some downsides, like no one being around to stop you from eating too many biscuits.

In all seriousness, I love to bake! Some of you might know that I even went to pastry school. But, it’s hard to bake treats when no one else will be around to help you eat them, which inevitably means I feel obligated to finish them myself. Seeing as how I have no self control, I thought I’d start a new blog series: Recipes for One! I’ll scale down some of my favorite recipes like when I’m craving biscuits, but don’t want to have to finish an entire tray of them.

Metallic Kitchens: Yay or Nay?

01.06.20

In an attempt to spend less time on Instagram, I find myself browsing Pinterest way more than usual. (Isn’t it funny how we trade one vice for another?) During my guilt-filled scrolling, images of metallic kitchens kept popping up over and over again.

What do you think of adding metallic accents in your kitchen? Honestly, I was a little hesitant at first of such a bold decorating move, but after looking through some of these images I’ve come around to the idea.

I particularly love the look of brushed metallic lower cabinets paired with soft pink upper cabinets pictured above. Throw in some green marbled countertops (something I never thought I’d say) and I’m sold.

Sweet Dreams are Made of Half Moon Headboards

10.07.19

Earlier this year, I made a DIY headboard (you can see it in these photos) for my apartment using just plywood, foam, and polyester batting. It completely transformed my studio and made my “bedroom” area look so much more put together and grown up. In typical blogger fashion, I’m already looking to change up the look of the headboard by using a lighter and more neutral-colored fabric. While I was doing research for color schemes, I came across the top image of a half-moon headboard. I’m so in love with the unique, statement making shape. Plus, it’s also easily DIY-able.

I trolled the internet for more arched headboards and was not disappointed by the results. Click through to see the rest! I particularly like the idea of a painted semi-circle headboard over your regular headboard, since you’d get the best of both worlds, and could easily paint over it again!

Why Don’t You Try These DIYS?

09.13.19

Happy Friday! I’ve been feeling more inspired lately, which is probably why you’re getting two blog posts in one week. My goal was three posts, but baby steps to bring the blog back from hibernation. I have a few projects I want to work on this weekend, but here are some DIYS if you need some inspiration!

DECOR INSPIRATION: WOODEN SOFAS

08.27.19

Sofas are probably the most important element in a living room. The best sofa is stylish, functional, and comfortable. As someone who works from home, I spend way too much time sitting on my sofa while working, and lounging while watching Netflix. If I was sitting on one of these wooden sofas, I would probably feel less guilty about not working from a desk and chair. There is something so elegant about the simplicity of these wooden sofas. And based on number eight, it’s totally possible to DIY one for yourself! Read More →
