As a general rule drains are kinda gross things. They’re not really “fun” things that you can jazz up and renovate to your little heart’s content.
Oh wait, yes they are.
Take your sink to a whole new level with designer Joana Meroz’s ornamented metal lace drains.
According to the original poster of this recipe for Amish Baked Oatmeal “it’s like eating a cookie for breakfast” – who doesn’t want that?!

Sparkling Shiraz Punch is the perfect concoction for Girls’ Night – not too sweet and just fizzy enough!
Ingredients:
– 15 mint sprigs
– 1 ounce whipping-quality pasteurized egg white, lightly beaten
– 1 cup superfine sugar
– 3/4 cup fresh lemon juice (about 6 lemons)
– 2 bottles sparkling Shiraz
– 3 liters club soda
– 1 1/2 cups St. Germain Elderflower liqueur
Brush mint with egg white. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup sugar, and let dry on a wire rack. Mix lemon juice and remaining sugar in a large punch bowl, stirring until sugar dissolves. Add Shiraz, club soda, and liqueur. Serve with ice, and garnish with sugared mint sprigs. Serves 15.

When I chose this as Oatmeal Week I had no idea how perfect the timing would be. We’re getting freezing rain and sleet today and tomorrow and there’s nothing quite so comforting as some oatmeal goodness during nasty times like these!
This recipe for Bruleed Oatmeal with Baked Glazed Apples is screaming my name. A bit decadent with it’s hidden layer of brown sugar, but I’m betting worth every calorie!

Piece by piece my house is starting to take shape. Yesterday it was in the form of purchasing a few of these cute – and super soft! – grey stitch pillows for my bed. I love that they have a removable cover for clumsy people like me who are prone to spillage!
I love Lampel. It’s a pendant light fixture that allows you to fill the upper portion with whatever your heart desires. I’m partial to the plant, but love how you can change things out to really make it your own. And with the clear glass “shade” it’s versatile enough to go with lots of decor styles!
Orange + Chocolate = Awesome.
Case in point: Orange Chocolate Chunk Cake.

Art Fire’s figure eight stitched leather pet collars are so great that I really, really wish they made a smaller version that I could wear as a bracelet. There, I said it.
