This view is inside our Waco Airbnb.

I remodeled this one hundred year old home and it was a huge project. But I love every inch of it. (Swipe left to see the before.)

I haven’t been to Waco in almost a year and it’s been so hard! Some day, hopefully soon, my best friend and I will take a road trip and drive to Waco from LA.

I cannot wait.

If you read my blog post today then you know that I love flowering branches. I can usually find them at Trader Joe’s or in our yard.

If you can’t find any then you can have some like what we have on the dining room table in our Waco home.

They are homemade.

Go to my blog for lots of tips on flowering branches and for the DIY on how to make these.

It’s a warm sunny day in Southern California.

It’s 86 degrees outside and it’s January.

What the heck?

Would I rather have snow? Yes!
Do I like the warm weather? Kinda

Obviously I am good with any weather. It’s just weird that I am thinking we should head to the beach to enjoy sitting on the beach.

And yet I really wish we could have snow.

If you are sledding this weekend or building a snowman, remember that I wish we had snow here too!

Today I shared some pretty cool rose gold candlesticks that I made yesterday.

Swipe left to see the before and after.

It’s amazing how a little bit of metal leaf can change the look of some inexpensive wooden candlesticks.

I am exhausted! I spent most of the day cleaning out our butlers pantry.

Unfortunately our butlers pantry did not come with a butler so I get the pleasure of organizing this room.

I have since moved to the kitchen as that is where most of the “homeless” items from the butlers pantry are now piling high on my island.

I am not sure where to put them as they should not have been in the butlers pantry.

They will get donated, thrown away, or moved down to the basement.

Most of the organization in the butlers pantry involved dinner plates. Does anyone care to guess how many different sets of dinner plates are owned by yours truly?

Next week is going to be a fun week of organizing. I have lots of “embarrassing before photos” to share.

Get ready for lots of laughs!

I made the most incredible Rose Gold Candlesticks yesterday.

I used wooden candlesticks and covered them with Rose Gold Metal Leaf.

By now you might be thinking I am a bit obsessed with metal leaf.

Well, I am!

I have done a lot of projects with metal leaf and I love them all.

So why not try something else?

This time I goofed.

As soon as I painted the fixative adhesive onto the wood candlesticks I knew I was in trouble.

The wood sucked up all of the glue and it disappeared.

Head to my blog to see how I salvaged this DIY.

Because I absolutely love how they turned out.

Let me know what you think.
