Not much of a beer drinker, my New Jersey fake ID only ever got used to buy more refined alcoholic drinks, but I could not resist trying this Chocolate Guinness Cake. It is magnificent. Although you can’t taste the stout per se, it certainly does give the cake a slight bitterness and it’s decadent nearly black colour.
Well it may not be official and those of us who have lived in Calgary for any amount of time know that it can snow in an instant – but for now, it sure looks and feels like Spring has Sprung! And I couldn’t be happier! Spring time brings longer days, more sunlight, a sense of renewal and most exciting for me, gorgeous, fresh flowers!
I love incorporating fresh flowers into the spaces I create. Bed side tables and an office desk are two obvious spaces to accent with fresh flowers.
But how about a pop of colour and freshness in the mudroom or laundry room? What a wonderful surprise as you walk through the door! And how much prettier and joyful would laundry be!
I am ga-ga for metallics! And lucky for me they’re everywhere!
The value of warm metals like Gold, Bronze and Brass throughout history is undeniable, but until recently home decor was dominated by silvers and grays. Only in the last little while are we seeing a revival of these beautiful metallics and I couldn’t be happier.
