Framed Botanical Print

Home [hohm] n. A story of who we are. A collection of things we love.

I got this beautiful botanical print and have it on display here in this lovely mirrored frame.

::: This Ivy print came as a three piece set with two other botanical prints. I knew it would work well through summer and into the fall!

Our last weekend of August. Sure seems hard to believe, but here we are!

~ I hope you’re having a beautiful one!

Chalk Painted Caddy Makeover

I loved this cute little caddy, but I wasn’t in love with the color it was when I found it. I knew I could fully love it after a paint makeover though…And now I do, I do!

I’ve used and styled it in a few different ways to store, and display.

It was perfect for these snack & dessert plates...

And some dish towels...

And I also tucked in a couple small faux plants...

I’m sure I’ll find many other ways to use it!

Below is an image of it before and just as I had started painting it.

And after...

So much better!

I always encourage others to use paint! Don’t be afraid, it’s so simple. It’s such an easy and inexpensive way to transform an item! If you don’t like the color paint it!

*** My tip of the day! ***

 

My Coffee Bar

“Today’s good mood is brought to you by coffee!”

I love my Coffee Bar!

I'm a huge coffee fan.  I love coffee!  I can't imagine ever not liking it, I always have.

So for me, having a fun area that is all about coffee is a no brainer.

I made the sweet little ladder long ago for my tea towels.

The “coffee bar” tea towel is perfect for it and this spot.

I used one of my favorite tiered trays here, it’s pretty and functional and keeps items on the ready -coffee, tea, etc. and a couple of fun coffee themed items.

It’s a good day for a good day, a Friday! …but first coffee!!!

~ I hope you have a good day!

Caprese salad

A favorite simple side dish, salad or appetizer!

~ Insalata Caprese ~ Tomatoes, Basil and Mozzarella Cheese.

Fresh ingredients of soft mozzarella cheese, basil & tomatoes and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar.

I usually prefer to use roma tomatoes, however many garden varieties of tomatoes are perfect right now, and if you’re growing your own basil this is a great use for it too!

We enjoy a drizzle of balsamic vinegar or a simple drizzle of olive oil is good also, or use both for added flavor. And salt & pepper.

So easy to prepare. Arrange sliced tomatoes and mozzarella on a plate or platter and then tuck basil leaves in between, drizzle with balsamic vinegar/olive oil, serve immediately!

I’ve shared two differently styled ideas for serving.

Serve this as an appetizer or a side to your meal. A good anytime dish and so perfect for summer. We love it and think it’s delicious!

~ Enjoy!
