New "Bedroom"

My new place is not exactly....big.

It's a bachelor apartment.

Meaning, it's a big room with a kitchen.

I have been here 3 months now and I am just starting to get settled.

The other night Tally and I decided we needed to switch the "living room" around.

I have a raised area that is my "bedroom" and a small space near it that my couch and green chair live.

I hated the curtains I had put up because they clashed with my Turkey rug. 

Sooo...

I took down the curtains.

Then I remembered I had tow sheer curtains from Ikea that were still in their package. 

I used the two rods and the curtain panels and created a "room" where my bed is.

It's amazing the difference this makes.

I feel less stressed when I go to bed cause I can't really see the chaos in the rest of my place.

It's calming...and I hate to say it..

but a little romantic. ;)

Anyhoo...

I decided my Turkey rug had to change to above the bed rather than in the living room.

I also changed my sheets to solid white, and my pillow cases to a hint of red stripes to pull out the red in the rug.

I recovered some old throw pillows in this fabric I got in the sale section at Fabricland ($2.00 a meter!)

Ta Da! New bedroom.

I just need to get a bedskirt, and find a new home for my wood chest....

*sigh* 

It's gonna be ok...

This weekend was super fast and super productive!!!

 

I got almost all my December DIY posts started and organized!

Saturday I had dance and I took some cookies in for the kidlets cause they have been working so hard!

It was at the dance studio and we had tables side by side :)

Happy week to you!

Miss Travel McTravelson ~ Banff, AB

To me, going to Banff is not a "vacation" because I use to live so close...I went all the time!

But to some, heading deep into the Rocky Mountains is a dream they may never actually get to do.

So...I'm pretty lucky!

Here are some pictures of Banff, one of the most beautiful places in the Rockies.

 

If you haven't be to that area of Canada, I highly suggest it.

The views are to die for :)

Cheers,

Messy

This is How I Cook ~ Cheesy Balls

Yup.

I had to try them.

I mean...I LOVE cheesestrings.

Probably one of the best food ever made.

 

I got my recipe from here :)

 

I added a few things cause I wanted to just use what I had.

 

 

YOU NEED:

6 marble cheese strings

1/2 cup skim milk

1/4 cup bread crumbs

1/4 cup fresh grated Parmesan cheese

1 tsp onion powder

1 tsp oregano

1 tsp garlic powder

salt & pepper
 

 

In a small bowl mix bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese and spices together.

 

 

Put your milk in a separate bowl.
 

  

Cut your cheese strings into little bite size pieces.
 

 

Using a fork, dip your cheese bit into the milk, them into the read crumbs and coat.
 

 

Place on a stone for cooking.
 

 

Cook at 450F for 10 minutes or until the balls just start to ooze.

 

Remove and let cool before eating!
 

 

Enjoy!

 

Cheers,

Messy
