Macaroni and cheese is one of my all time favorite foods. I haven’t made it yet since the weather has cooled down, but that doesn’t mean I haven’t been dreaming of it! So today when browsing through Pinterest, I found a mac and cheese recipe with butternut squash and bacon – oh my god, I had to share!

Most of the time when I make mac and cheese, that’s our main dish. But this recipe looks a little bit heavier than most, so I think it would be a great side dish with a light chicken or fish recipe – or even this Autumn Chopped Salad I also found while food searching.

All I know is that butternut squash plus bacon plus bread plus macaroni and cheese sounds like heavenly comfort food. I’ll probably have a fat attack after, but sometimes those are good for you, right?!

Do you have any Fall comfort food recipes you’ve recently discovered??

Tree stumps have become unique elements of home decor, but they’ve never been as bright and fun as these Tree Lights by Straight Line Designs.

Tree Lights can be used as side tables, stools, foot rests or whatever you desire. The colorful tops are made from acrylic resins that are tinted in various colors and then illuminated from within. You can see more images of the beautiful Tree Rings here and also learn more about how these pieces came to be.

Shower curtains are a fun way to decorate your bathroom, don’t get me wrong – I am obsessed with mine! But, there’s something about a shower with glass doors that is oh-so sleek and sophisticated.

A glass shower door provides a clean look, as long as you stay up to speed with one of those swiper things. I would take one of those over a mildewy shower curtain liner any day! I had no idea that these glass doors are also referred to as shower enclosures – did you? I’m glad I do in case I have an opportunity to install one in the future! If you require strong and durable shower enclosure, as most people probably do, there are plenty of options that fit the bill and are chic and stylish as well.

It’s Monday, the weather is crappy and I’m exhausted after a long but amazing weekend. Is anyone else having a blah day? I’m having trouble staying motivated today, so I thought some glamourous rooms would help me out.

The yellow and gold, lucite and fur and gold stenciled bathroom each provide some nice eye candy to liven up my day a bit. I surely wouldn’t mind being a part of these three gorgeous spaces right now – how about you??

How do you brighten up a blah day?

A couple of weeks ago, I mentioned that we were redoing our floors, as I was searching for inspiration as to which finish we would choose. We just did our living room, because our precious little puppy had stained the floors with a few pee accidents. To avoid cutting and replacing the sections of the wood that was stained, our floor guy told us that if we chose a darker finish, it would be more cost efficient as it would just cover the stains right up.

So, that’s what we did! The first picture is a bad picture of the walls, as they are the same color as the walls in the second picture, but the floors really were that orangey. I never had a problem with the color, but now that they are that caramelly brown on the bottom – I am absolutely in love. They look even better in person – it is so hard to capture true colors on camera, as you probably know!

As the floor guy had told us, the stains were covered up and you can’t even see them! It only took about two days for the guys to be finished and it was well worth it.

What do you think of our new floors?
