A Sneak Peak!

I was out running errands (I promise that I do work...sometimes, I just really have a case of the Holidays right now!). Anyway, I was gone from the house for a couple of hours and when I pulled into the driveway, I looked up to the front door and said "What the Heck?". There was a very large box sitting there. Yep, you guessed it. My headboard! I wasn't expecting it this soon since on Tuesday they said 2-3 weeks. They were also suppose to call and schedule a delivery time, but they just dumped it on my doorstep.

I also found a bench today. I was contemplating ordering a custom bench from Ballard, but the cost and wait were deterring me. Then I found one that looks almost exactly like what I wanted for a couple of hundred cheaper!

You want a sneak peak? Okay, here you go...


Someone is already enjoying the set-up!


New nightstand and lamp moved in today from the garage too


Disregard everything to the left of the bed. It is still a mess because I haven't hung the new curtain rod & curtains (a fiasco that I don't even want to go into right now!)

The bench...the photo is a little blurry, but you get the drift


The bedding isn't new. I fell in love with it while shopping at ABC Carpet and Home in New York City. I have had it for almost 5 years now, but I love it (and it was expensive), so I wasn't wanting to change it.

It is so beautiful. I just love it!! You did such a good job putting it together!! I love the combination of the walls and the bedding- just lovely. Where did you get the bench at the end of your bed? It is so pretty. I want one for the end of my bed. I found one a Pottery Barn, but I'm not sure that it is the one I want.

Good Work!! I may need you to come help me- I think next year I'm going to tackle my living room.

Swiss Oatmeal {Copy Cat Recipe}

I'm obsessed with Swiss Oatmeal.  I particularly love   Corner Bakery's Swiss Oatmeal.  If you are not familiar with Swiss Oatmeal, it is a cold oatmeal cereal with fruit and nuts. I've had a similar recipe for years, but it was only similar.  It wasn't close enough for my liking.  So I finally set out into the land of Pinterest to find a recipe that was a good Copy Cat.  I found a few, combined them and came up with what I think is a very close Copy Cat Recipe of Corner Bakery's Swiss Oatmeal. Here's what I do (note, this recipe is really just pictures, because I don't really have measurements for these things.  The photos aren't great, but it's easier if I show you what I do)... Here's the Phase 1 ingredients...   Milk Honey Yogurt (I use a vanilla greek yogurt) Oats (old fashioned, not quick...you probably could do steel cut too)    I've simplified this to where you only need a bowl and a spoon for Phase 1 becau

Europe 2023 {Day 9 ~ Munich & Bavarian Alps}

 On Tuesday, December 20th I grabbed breakfast at the hotel and then walked about 15 minutes to where I met my tour for the day.  On my first visit to Munich, I only had time for one "day trip" outside of the city and I chose to go to Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial, but I always knew I wanted to venture down to the Bavarian Alps and see some castles on my next visit.  I had booked the premium tour and it was so fancy.  There was a snack bar and they even served beer and wine on the way home after the last stop of the day.  First stop was at Linderhof Castle. This was a "small" castle of King Ludwig's that was a partial mini-replica of Versailles.  It was a snowy walk to the castle... Interior photos were not allowed, but you can see some pics of the interior HERE Like Versailles, there are fountains and sculptures surrounding Linderhof, but they cover the statues with wood huts to protect them from the winter elements. After visiting Linderhof, we made a (to

It's all about the dress...

I mean I guess it's really all about getting married, but come on, you always anticipate the dress right?  Well holy moly folks!  Today a big secret was released to the press.  No, we still don't know which dress or tiara Kate will be wearing, but we heard for the first time that Princess Diana had a back-up dress!  Here are some of the pictures and sketches... Real dress on Left~ Back-up on the Right Here are the sketches of the back-up dress And you know what?  I like the back-up dress better than the one she wore!  I know, I know.  I'm going to get blasted for saying that, but I'll just confess it right now... My name is Kara and I've never thought Princess Diana's dress was all that and a bag of chips.  Nope.  Not my favorite Royal Wedding Dress by any stretch of the imagination.  What is my favorite?  Probably the one that Sarah Ferguson wore when she married Andrew... It had beautiful beading and stitching throughout.  Also on the train it had an &quo
