​Do you have a coffee bar in your kitchen? The one place you go first thing in the morning before you start your day or in the afternoon when you need a quick pick me up? There are so many different ideas out there I was shocked. I love the idea of having everything you need right there in one spot. A great excuse to purchase gorgeous canisters for organizing your coffee pods, tea, sugar, etc and placing the canisters inside a gorgeous tray. The tray can add a pop of color or texture to the kitchen. Most importantly the sign, stating Coffee Bar or some witty commitment to remind yourself and girlfriends, "yes I must have the coffee before I do the things" or "don't speak to me until I've had my coffee". So while we rush off to work, getting the kids to school or who are we kidding, both. Let's first take a deep breath, smell the aroma and feel the warmth of the hot mug in our hands. 

Have you remodeled your kitchen, or thinking about it? It's the hub of the home, where all the family activity happens. It can also be very expensive, however you will see your return when and if you sell your home. Home owners have different reasons for finally biting the bullet and moving forward with the remodel. A few of those reasons are listed below.

​Did you know you can use craft paper to design your gallery wall? Trace all your picture frames on craft paper and then cut them out. Use painters tape to attach your paper frames to the wall. You will be able to move the paper frames around on the wall until you find the perfect layout. By using craft paper and painters tape you won't have to worry about marking up the wall. Once you have found your layout, start hanging the real frames, removing the craft paper as you go. 

Happy Hanging!

​Are you obsessed with white subway tile? I love how versatile it is. You can put it in the kitchen, bathrooms, outdoor kitchens and laundry rooms. It's a budget friendly dream. Subway tile showed up in New York around the early 1900's. This is one trend you can honestly say never faded out. It can literally make any style from farm house to sleek modern look AMAZING. Not to mention you can use the subway tile to make different designs, such as traditional or straight herringbone, crosshatch, stack bond and many more. What room will you start with?
