My DIY Kitchen Makeover (Part 3)
My kitchen is going to be primarily black and white so I’m thinking it needs a few pops of color. That’s a pop all right! Don’t panic; that vibrant, beautiful apple green color is just for the pantry door. And the fabric? I am going to attempt to make Roman Shades. Since the last Kitchen [...]

Kitchenaid Mixer Makeover {A DIY}

But this is what my poor mixer looked like after mixing tons of batter for the wedding cookies that I talked about here. Can’t say I didn’t warn you! And can you believe [...]
