DECORATING

I love decorating our home.
Over the years I have learned to add pieces to our house that bring us joy and meaning. Mixing new pieces of furniture and accessories with old/antique pieces gives a house a collected look.
Shopping the house first and using what I already have is great way to stay on a decorating budget. This is also a great way to add pieces you truly love to a house to make it a home.
No trends in our home I stay true to my style which is French Country with a bit of farmhouse.

  • Pizza Friday

      For about 20 years John and I have enjoyed “Pizza Friday,” we love the tradition.   We try to change it up from regular red pizza to white one once in a while. When making white pizza it is a good idea to cook the dough for a bout six minutes 400 degrees.  …

  • Parmesan Pancetta Torte

    It is a beautiful day here today and I thought I would share a fantastic and easy recipe with everyone.   I make this often, sometimes for dinner with something light on the side and many times as an appetizer. Pancetta, eggs and freshly grated parmesan cheese, I mean come on.   Freshly grated cheese…

  • Easy Dessert I Forgot

    I’m starting to get back to my love of cooking and baking.  I will be sharing recipes from time to time.  Besides painting and making projects, cooking and baking make me happy.  What can I say, I’m an Italian girl and we love to feed people.  Life is too short and you have to enjoy…
