The colorful Tudor house… wow! That’s a lot of color! I did like the mirror above the sink. Not so much the wallpaper being it, but I thought the motor looked cool. And the blue hanging Tiffany style lamps were very pretty. Loved them. The stuffed peppers and chocolate olive oil cookies sound yummy. It’s been a while since I’ve had stuffed peppers!
Thanks for the Tuesday links! What do you think of that colorful Tudor home? I normally love color, but wow, that was a LOT! lol
Those chocolate cookies look so good. Like a brownie-cookie.
The article for tension rods…our closet doors in this house are cheap and tend to fall off the track. In Tim’s old bedroom – which is now Brian’s office – we put a tension rod across the top of the opening to the closet and hung a curtain panel.
Lovely article on the meaning of life. I appreciate your random collection of tidbits.
