Anatomy of a Practical Bar Cart
Bar carts are one of those home decor items that so easily become a disaster, at least if you actually use them. You want to have out all your glasses and booze and bar tools and all of a sudden it’s a cluttered mess. So, I want to walk you through some basic bar cart styling that is actually practical.

Dollar Tree Christmas Tablescape
Way back in the day, when I was a very young lady buying a home with my first boyfriend, money was always very tight. I really wanted to decorate for Christmas and create something special, but my budget was itty bitty. That’s the year I began my love affair with Dollar Tree.

Kitchen Update
I know this is waaaay overdue and I apologize to everyone that has been waiting for this and wanting full links. I’ve finally done it though! I’m linking everything I can in the kitchen, which is quite a lot of it. There are some things I wasn’t able to link. The kitchen cabinets are shaker style from Home Depot. The paint color is by Benjamin Moore, although I’m unsure which color. If anyone is very serious about knowing the exact shade, throw me a comment and I’ll do some better digging to figure it out. The counter tops are quartz and also from Home Depot, as well as the tiling…
