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
