Red & Tartan Plaid Christmas Tablescape
If you’ve been around here for any amount of time you know how much I love to put together a tablescape!! I used to labor over them for hours. But, now that I’ve done several, they take me no time at all. The planning and idea process takes a while, sometimes more than a while if I can’t find any inspiration. But, once inspiration strikes and I gather all the things, it comes together in a flash. This time was no different!! I had a couple of different ideas swimming around but I LOVE the one I landed on because it just looks so darn cute! I am also joining my blogging friends again for a tablescape blog hop, so be sure to check out the links at the bottom of this post!!
Instant Pot Love!
Hey there friends! A couple of months ago, on prime day, I jumped at the chance to get myself an Instant Pot for a great deal. I have been wanting one for a while, but the price tag was holding me back. On prime day, it was almost half off! So, I snagged one. Yay! Of course then I had to learn how to use it. Haha!!
New Tile Floor In The Kitchen!
I’ve finally recuperated from the kitchen tiling job enough to share it with you! Haha! But, seriously, it was a much bigger job than I anticipated. It’s done though, and I LOVE it!! 🙂
Storage and Organization for Baking Supplies
Oh My Goodness. I am so excited with the way this project is turning out I just had to share it with you, even though I’m not done. Like I have said before I need to see results quickly, and today delivered!!
I am still in the midst of organizing my kitchen – UGH!! I just have trouble deciding what I want to use for storage and organization. I had plenty of ideas pinned on my pinterest board, but several of them would not work with my non-standard kitchen.
This weekend I purchased some containers at walmart for my dried baking goods. For me and my family plastic works best. I love these containers because of the shape, and the handy handle on one side. I purchased all they had in stock of the 2quart size. – $1.97 ea!!
(They have a larger one that holds a gallon for $2.97, but of course it was too tall for the cabinet it was going in.) The labels peal off super easy if you take a little time. Make sure that you have them completely dried out before you put anything in them. The containers are great and all but my favorite part is the labels!!
I have seen many different applications of chalkboard type labels and I love the look. When I saw this at Hobby Lobby a little while back and knew it was the perfect option. Lucky for me it was on sale this last week! Then I used my 40% off coupon to purchase a really large circle punch – 3 1/2″ on loveliness.
Then, using the lovely punch I cut circles from the chalkboard vinyl. If you haven’t worked with this type of vinyl, it’s just like contact paper, with a peel and stick backing.
Easy peasy!! Place your label where you like it and voila!!
I have these wonderful chalkboard markers that I love because they don’t wipe off like chalk, but are easily erased with a damp cloth. Perfect for labeling things that are going to be handled often.
Love!! Love!! Love!! the look!! Notice I turned the one in the back sideways so I could see the label easily. The only drawback is that I cannot get a 5lb bag of flour in this container, but that’s okay with me, I will store the extra in the freezer to keep it fresh. There is quite a bit of this vinyl on the roll and I can’t wait to go label crazy in the rest of the kitchen and many other places in the house!! Wahoo!!
