Fade to Black
This past week I tackled painting my back door to the patio and the pantry door. I used Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in Graphite. I have used ASCP for several years now. You can learn more about it in the link, but if I had to summarize why I like it...Repaint your Patio Furniture
This time of the year is my favorite. The evenings are still cool despite the warmer days arriving. I love to sit outside on my patio. One of the smartest things Mr. Bee and I did recently was to take our existing wrought iron furniture and have it...Quick Pottery Barn Orchid Knockoff
I was flipping through my new Pottery Barn catalog last night and I spotted something I wanted to try and replicate on my own. I love the centerpiece using the glass hurricane with the orchid. It’s not a new idea, but I think I liked how the orchids were...
It only took a year
Last summer I painted my kitchen cabinets. It took me an entire year to figure out what I wanted to do with the space above the stove. I removed the doors and painted the inside because I wanted to have an open area to display pottery and a few...Beverage Cart Rehab
This little sad cart was what I started with… It sat next to Daddy’s chair and since he couldn’t see real well, it suffered a few spills of his favorite beverage, Diet Dr. Pepper. I wasn’t quite sure what I was going to do with it. ...
Hospitality is in my DNA. I founded Home with a Twist, a daughter’s twist on her mother’s traditions, in memory of my mother to celebrate her life and the gifts she shared with me. Mother loved to celebrate life’s occasions – big and small.She taught me how to prepare fabulous food, entertain guests with style and design a traditional home with a pop of color and a splash of animal print. Share my fondness of blending Mother’s mid-century style with a modern spin.

You know those pins your mother gave you - WEAR THEM! I took one of my mother`s vintage starburst pins and created a cinched waist with my velvet jacket. It definitely elevates your look!
You can add pins to your handbag, a jean jacket, a scarf around your wrist, and like my friend Jen @stylewithnoregret, she decorated a tinsel tree with vintage brooches.
You will definitely make a statement at the party!

I like to pour the batter into small 8x8 pans for easy gifting. Add a dusting of powdered sugar, a ribbon, and a tag, and you`ll deliver the perfect Christmas morning treat.

I loved getting creative on this hostess gift project. It started with a package of festive @casparistyle napkins and a bottle of pink bubbly.
I added green and pink ribbon and some tags available in my digital store. I know my neighbors with love this gift to help celebrate the holiday.
Here is a last-minute gift idea you can make for friends that would be a perfect way to engage your children and teens when they are home for Christmas — homemade stovetop potpourri!
When I was little, Sister and I would make crafts together as my gift to family members. One year, we made spice ropes, and another year, we filled hairspray caps with plaster and stuck a fork inside to make a recipe holder. Our creative skills were on fire! I have fun memories working with her on these crafts, instilling in me the spirit of giving.
Buzz over to my blog for the recipe and printable cards. Or comment GIFT, and I`ll DM you the link.
