Monthly Archives: April 2012 I’ll be the first to admit that I’m not the most crafty person in the world. I mean, I like to do little things here & there, but overall, it’s just not me. However, something I do love to do is wrap presents. I just think it’s fun to give people something that’s really beautiful. […]  Last summer I had a version of this drink at one of my favorite restaurants, RedSeven. Unfortunately it was only a seasonal offering so I haven’t had one since. I finally decided to just try to figure it out myself & see how it goes. I’m happy to report that it was a total success. […] I’ll be over for one asap! I’m loving your photos – I think shake it up is my fav Come on over! Just bring a lemon because I just ran out  Here’s the first room in my home tour. It may seem weird to start with a bathroom, but it’s probably my favorite room (design-wise) in my house right now. It’s still not 100% finished, but then again, it probably never will be. I’m always changing, adding or removing things in my rooms. It drives my […] Wait…WAIT…is that WALLPAPER BORDER ON THE TUB?!!!! Insanity. And I love your tile flooring in there so much, I could be served dinner on it and be happy Wow April! This is amazing!!! I’m with Gail…what was up with the wallpaper on the tub?! The yellow tub is perfect with the white tile. Love! WOW that is the most amazing before and after EVER! Beautiful job:) Did you find a tutorial on how to paint your tub online?? I have a claw foot tub in one of my bathrooms also and it desperately needs a face lift – would love to know how you did it! April, your bathroom is crazy rockin!!! LOVE it. And this site? So awesome! Can’t wait to keep up with it. April- I love the pictures!!! The tutorials over the designs and how you put everything together is fabulous! You have such a great sense of style!!!! Can’t wait to see more of your blogs!!! Thanks for all the love for my little bathroom! You’ve totally warmed my heart @ Tina – I’ve seen tutorials online before on how to paint your tub, but honestly, I just primed it and then painted it with 3 coats of regular wall paint. It really could’ve used at least 1 more, but I was over it at that point. It’s not completely smooth, but I think that’s part of it’s charm. That is an AMAZING transformation!!! You’ve got a house with great “bones” and you’re able to see the potential. Gorgeous! And the pull-chain toilet…totally awesome This is gorgeous!!! I love your sense of style and the difference between the before and after is amazing. […] usually a little crazy looking, this has always been my favorite room in the house, well, until the bathroom came along, that is. The only thing that I’d change is the wall color. This was the very […] Just saw this on Apartment Therapy. WHAT a transformation. Great job!!! What color paint and what brand did you use? Did you use different paints on the wood and on the walls? I love this room! This was my grandparents’ house! (I can verify my last name in email for you and You’d have no doubt Hey April,  I bought these tumblers (technically labeled as stemless wine glasses. Whatever.) at Target over the weekend and thought they were too pretty not to share. There are actually 4 to the set & there’s also a blue/green set as well. They’re acrylic, so they’re perfect for having a drink outside in the summer without worrying […] Oh, I LOVE the colors in those tumblers. AND I love the photos, particularly the first one. Thanks, Jen! I love the colors too – so fun & slightly retro. One of my favorite blogs is Dinner: A Love Story. I love reading about their adventures in cooking for their family of four. Plus, their daughters are voracious readers, just like my son Jack is & so I love discovering both new & old book titles through them as well as just hearing their reading […] I love their blog & cookbook too! Can’t wait for the next one… Aren’t they both great? I think I’m way more excited than I should be for a cookbook Well I read cookbooks like others read novels. I love them! |
