Sunny Side Up!

We are starting new renovations next week on our Master Bedroom and our second bedroom which we use as a home office. Our bedroom plans are to change the current paint colour to a calming deep teal green. We also plan to update our baseboards to a fancier style and to add crown moulding. We want to style our bedroom to feel like a Boutique Hotel in Banff, AB. We are getting our closets redone. We are getting built-ins installed by California Closets. I have included a CAD mock-up of the plans for both mine and my husband's closets. Bedroom before: The CAD mock-up for my new closet: Our plans for our office are to also be repainted. The colour will be a couple of shades lighter than the bedroom colour.  We are also changing the baseboards to match the ones in the bedroom, but we are not getting crown moulding due to the bulkhead.  My husband will have a smaller desk and the TV will be wall mounted. We will add a darker wood cabinet within which we can store books and craft materials

I came across this book by Lisa Bennett on the Internet, and I am enjoying the easy and tasty recipes inside. Now, I do make some of my own modifications to the recipes if I do not like one or more of the ingredients, like avocados for instance. I like Guacamole, but not plain avocado. The recipe I am sharing today is actually listed under Breakfasts, but it can be made for lunch as well. Egg Salad Ingredients: 8 eggs, hard boiled, peeled and cut into wedges 1/4 cup onion, chopped 3 cups cherry tomatoes, cut in half 1/2 package of strip bacon, crisply cooked Juice of 2 lemons 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped Pinch of salt and black pepper Directions: In a salad bowl, mix the bacon with the eggs, onion, tomatoes, salt, pepper, parsley, and lemon juice. toss well and serve for breakfast Stay tuned to my blog for more easy recipes coming soon!

Today I am sharing the items I am adding to my year-round basic wardrobe for the month of March.  I am working through my clothing to see which items will stay and be added to my four seasonal boxes, of which I will "shop" from every time I want to change things up in my wardrobe. For the next while I will be creating monthly capsule wardrobes that include my year-round basics and different additions each month. I am starting this project a bit late but it will go on until I have fully curated a wardrobe that represents my colour palette  and also my three style words: Mellow, Fine and Gaiety. These style words represent how I want to feel when I get dressed...comfortable, polished and fun!! Now, let's see what I am adding for my March Capsule: The Clothing items include:  Camouflage Dress Olive Leggings Chambray Button-down Shirt Kelly Green Button-down Shirt Striped Tank-top Floral Top Green Patterned T-shirt Navy and Grey Baseball T-shirt For Shoes I have: Black Wedge-
