My Blog's mission is to inspire and encourage friends and followers to take risks in decorating, painting, transforming vintage and discarded items into beautiful ornaments for our homes.
I hope I can be of help and inspiration to all my followers.
I am a self-made decorator, and have not formal training in designing or decorating, however, by sharing we learn from each other.
Enjoy, grab a cup of tea or coffee and have fun.

Really beautiful...also expensive!,
PostedJune 7, 2011
Pros: beautiful, rustic yet elegant, unique
Cons: very expensive, not 100% refined in the functional sense
"I was looking for one piece that would make a statement but hold a lot, and this is definitely the one! I have this piece of furniture in the entryway of my apartment because it will not fit up the narrow staircase (it is HUGE). I have already gotten numerous compliments on it, have not had many visitors, and I have been here for only 2 weeks. It is very large, impressive in scale; elegantly rustic yet finished relatively well- not lacking in craftsmanship. My only complaint is that sometimes the drawers stick; for a piece costing this much, I would expect it to function flawlessly. It is truly beautiful, though, and will hold two wardrobes worth of goods."
Thank you for your comments, I love them, you are so nice. Today, its very windy and cold, perfect for a warm drink at the end of the day. Traditional hot chocolate with marshmellows, herbal teas with honey from the "farmer's market", or this great "dulce de leche" coffee from "the pioneer cook"
Recipe: Dulce de Leche Coffee
| | |
Ingredients
4 cups Strongly Brewed Good Coffee
6 ounces, fluid Dulce De Leche (*see Note)
6 Tablespoons Kahlua, More If Preferred
1 cup Heavy Cream
2 Tablespoons Sugar
6 Tablespoons Chocolate, Grated
Preparation Instructions
Add Dulce de Leche to the very hot coffee; stir until completely dissolved and combined. Keep coffee hot.
Combine cream with sugar and whip until stiff.
Add 1 tablespoon Kahlua to each coffee cup. May add 1 1/2 if desired, or may add whiskey or brandy in addition.
Pour the coffee/dulce de leche mixture into each glass. Top with a heaping tablespoon whipped cream and grated chocolate of your choice.
Absolutely sinful!
*Dulce de Leche is sold in the Hispanic aisle of supermarkets, or in Hispanic specialty markets. It is sold in solid 15 ounce blocks, or in cans or bottles in more of a liquid form. You can also find recipes for making your own Dulce de Leche using sweetened condensed milk. Yum!
