The Vanity is Complete
November 22nd, 2010
Finally! It only took several months, but I finally finished the vanity project. Perhaps finished is a little misleading, though. You may notice in the picture the sides where the mirror comes down are a bit knicked. This was because after everything was painted, there wasn’t enough room for the mirror to come down, so we had to use a plane to narrow the area a bit. We still need to work on that some more, and then touch-up the paint… but for now, it is fine!
Hacking our desk, old new bookshelf & vanity stool
November 7th, 2010
Last weekend John and I went to Savannah, GA to celebrate my 25th birthday, and this weekend we did a lot of “housework” … yet our bedroom is still a downright mess.

So, don’t be too disappointed because there isn’t an after photo yet.

But not late enough, however, to pick this up for around $8 for the Kindle… it appears as though Amazon is likely capitalizing on the fact that this is now a major motion picture drawing more interest in the book itself.
Under the Influence of Coconut Curry
September 5th, 2010
Another original recipe by yours truly! I used my own homemade teriyaki sauce as well, which I should post the recipe for soon. Against my better judgment and roaring hunger, I did not take a photo of this dish before digging in… but my husband has declared this one a “keeper” so I will be making it again.
Before continuing I would just like to add that I have never been a huge fan of coconut, but in certain dishes and desserts I find it positively delish.
