I’m back! And already thinking of Christmas… in October. But, it isn’t too early to start thinking about it. It seems to sneak up on me every year.

The Bar Cabinet As I mentioned in a previous post, I found this cabinet from Target and left out the middle shelves to fit a cooler into it and become a bar. I chose this particular cabinet because…
It’s the week of Christmas and I thought I would share my Christmas table for the year. I made a few improvements since last year and I’m excited to share. The Table and Chairs First thought I would start with the table and chairs. I mentioned in a previous post about my dining room all about my new table and chairs.
