Added river rocks to my guest bath sink

Used my friend's inspiration today and added the rocks to my guest sink.  Found a bag of river rocks at Dollar Tree, so I brought them home and put them in my 1/2 bath. Just need to accessorize :)

Biscuit waffles

Yummy breakfast for the kiddos this morning. Super fast buscuit waffles. Had some of those inexpensive buscuits from Walmart (4 pack of 10 each for like $1.40). Just toss one biscuit into each waffle section. Another take on the cinnamon roll waffles I found on Pinterest. It was really yummy, quick, and easy for older kids to do themselves. Not to mention easy clean up.

My new favorite place to sit in my backyard!

...or a new way to use a hanging chair and a firepit stand.

My daughter and I found this cute hanging chair at a local JcPenney outlet store for $20 and had to have it. Of course it was cheap, because it had no stand. We struggled to find a place to hang it and ended up hanging it from our swingset. We were never happy with it there but at least it was useable.

As luck would have it, our old firepit bowl rusted through and left us with a stand with no home. Yesterday my daughter proclaimed, why not use it as a base for the pod chair. I was skeptical that it would work, but tried it anyway (I'm a project kind of a girl after all :). Fell in love the second I set it on there, found the perfect spot, and haven't gotten out of it yet! The stand put the chair at the perfect height. It is so much more comfortable than when it was hanging, and the angle of the chair is adjustable now. 

I love spring and all the fun outdoor projects that come along with it :)

Warm up your sink area with rocks

Saw this at my friend's house the other day and thought it looked so neat. Very spa like. She had these in her guest bath, and I do think the oil rubbed bronze faucet looks best with it (not to mention the gorgeous wood counter/cabinet), but definitely an idea I am trying in mine.  Hides that tacky drain plug :)

Footed Candle Holder - St. Patricks Day

So now that I have created these footed candle holders and two are on my island with my holiday apothecary jars, I've decided to include them in the holiday theme changes.  For St. Patricks Day, I changed the candles to white and filled the bottom with green sugar.

Dollar store and Bath & Bodyworks footed candle holder

So I've been on a dollar store apothecary jar kick, and it made me think....What else can I do with these glass candlesticks?

Well recently I bought some candles from Bath & Bodyworks for $1, which included the glass holder and a candle in a plastic holder. It wasn't something I would ever set out, since it is too small and too simple.  Of course, they smelled so good and were marked down to be so inexpensive, I couldn't pass them up.

Why not add a glass candlestick to the bottom to make them something nicer to set out. Love the results!  This is the one I set out on Valentines.  Next year I'm adding candy hearts.

St. Patricks Day Apothecary Jars

Here's my latest holiday update to my apothecary jar set...St. Patrick's Day.  I couldn't come up with a three letter word to do, so I used clovers.  These are foam clover coasters from Dollar Tree.  I doubled them up, then cut out the centers.  I continued with the foil confetti inside (green this time obviously, one bag from the Dollar Tree).  The ribbon I found for $1 at JoAnns. It has glittery clovers on it so it was a much use : )

My set isn't available at kirklands anymore, but here's a set from amazon that is a good deal and looks very pretty
