Welcome back to week 2 on counter tops! Last week we went over the 7 Most Popular Countertop Surfaces: pros, cons, and costs! This week, we’re coming back down to earth and learning about counter tops for those who might not want to invest quite so much. These materials might just surprise and delight you!
Ah, the wonderful world of counter tops … solid surface, porous, natural stone, engineered stone, recycled, concrete—slow down! The options for counter surfaces seem overwhelming, but fear not! I’m here to simplify and give you all the pros, cons, and details in one place, so let’s get started, shall we?
Welcome to the mid-week special on 2014 nursery trends for your baby boy! This is a follow-up to Pretty in Pink: 2014 Nursery Trends for Your Baby Girl. My title was inspired by the recent gender reveal of my soon-to-be niece. I was wrong and 100% on team blue (boy), and, as much as I like being right, I’m just glad that my little niece is on her way!
Hear that? It’s the baby train, and it has officially arrived! We are anxiously waiting for a niece to join our family this summer! Besides that, Kelly Clarkson is expecting a girl and rumor has it that Kate Middleton expecting another (I sure hope so!). So here it is: a post just for your little sweet pea and what the 2014 nursery trends hold for her!

Faced with a giant blank wall, my heart sank. I didn’t have a single piece of art to clothe it with. Better yet, there was a light switch smack dab in the middle of the wall…actually, worse—almost in the middle of the wall, which would make any interior designer cringe.
“Mom, I’m just calling to let you know that I didn’t have to work today!” Mom replied with a squeal of delight, knowing what this meant: time for a clean sweep before our big trip. My mom and I share an (likely unhealthy) obsession about making beds every day and getting the house clean before going away…we’re convinced that it’s good for us.
