I have lust in my heart for a kitchen appliance. But in my defense of inanimate objects and my own sanity have you seen the Aga Legacy Electric Range? How about the refrigerator or the dishwasher? Don’t judge.
First thought, I’ve been watching way too much Dexter because I automatically think of him when I see a long apron. Second thought, this skeleton apron would come in handy for messy me when I make caramel apples tomorrow night. Third thought, I’m short – I wonder whether or not all the bones would line up correctly?
You’ve seen my china cabinet turned bar cabinet which is my pride and joy, but I’m also loving the clean modern lines of the wine armoire from LOT61. It hold nine bottles, has four shelves, and is handcrafted from solid cedromacho wood and stainless steel.
PS: See the gray walls? That’s the exact shade I painted half of the interior of my house recently. I’m in the process of rearranging furniture and rehanging things, but I can’t wait to share because I’m so happy with it!

Piper is not a delicate or ladylike sort of pooch, despite her hand-me-down pink Coach collar she’s a 40 pound tomboy. A bull in a china shop. A one girl wrecking crew. I love her to death, but I wish I could feed her off of these killer Handsome Dorian of Wye plates. And yes, they’re actually people plates so I could just eat off them myself, but where’s the fun in that?!

So, this is another one that has me scratching my head and saying to myself, so why am I only figuring this out NOW? Because it is so simple, and so delish, and so adorable looking. This one is SO easy there is not really an official recipe involved – just a quick run-down of the process. Here’s what you need:
Chocolate cupcakes
Marshmallows
An oven
A spoon
I made up a box of Duncan Hines chocolate cupcakes, because while I love a good homemade cupcake as much as the next person, sometimes you are just in the mood for cake that comes out of a cake mix box. I am, anyway. And since I was going for the easiest frosting ever, it seemed to make sense not to knock myself out on the cake part, right?
Anyway, here’s what you do. Bake up a batch of cupcakes however you want to bake ’em. While they are baking, grab a bag of marshmallows – the regular size ones – and count out as many marshmallows as you have cupcakes. When the cupcakes have 3 minutes to go, take them out of the oven but leave the oven on. Balance a marshmallow on top of each cupcake (this is the hardest part of the entire thing) and carefully slide them back in. Bake for another 3 to 5 minutes, just until the marshmallows are soft. They will probably still be pretty tall, but just take a clean spoon and press down gently with the back of it, and they will flatten right out.
By the way, if anyone thinks this looks like the S’Mores version of a cupcake, you won’t get any argument from me!

When it comes to holiday decor I solidly reside in the vintage camp. Especially when it comes to Halloween. I’m not hardcore about whether it’s actual vintage or a recreation, but there you have it. This little Halloween Owl is screen-printed on heavy chipboard and sitting high atop of my radar at the moment.

I can count on one hand (okay, maybe two) the times I’ve been pro-wall covering for my own home. Whereas other people can commit to the permanence of the situation, I cannot. Then I saw this mural and immediately pictured it in my entryway. Those mountains! The muted tones! The freakin’ deer! And then I saw the price tag and realized the true reason I cannot commit to most wall coverings that I’m drawn to… {via design for mankind}

I want to be a bath person, but I’m just not. The only times I pop in for a soak are when I’m sick or depressed, others it just feels like I’m sitting there in my own filth waiting for the water to get cold. But then I saw this reclaimed oak tub caddy, and it makes me wish a were not only a bath person, but also a not clumsy person because it’s completely gorgeous. {via pinkshirtsandcarwrecks}
