Although I may paint it white, which would be kind of like giving it a tranquillizer, I guess.
Chris was out of town last week and I spent a lot of time working on boring old real life type of things around the house.It was great.. Usually I try to show my house in a somewhat flattering light and showcase the few showcaseable areas cause, well, I want you to read my blog right?
But I find for me it’s almost as much fun looking into the “normal” parts of people’s home, as it is looking at all the pretty stuff.So let’s bring on the real stuff!Just this once.. And I’ll probably delete it soon so it doesn’t ruin my pretty little blog.
I’m one of those..This is actually probably my favourite room in the house believe it or not.
It’s a back hall off of the master bedroom leading out to the deck.
One day it’s going to have floor to ceiling built in cupboards and it’s going to be wonderful.You don’t have any store bought icing and you really don’t want to go making a big mess of your kitchen again when you thought you were two seconds away from a relaxing cookie break.. Don’t worry.
We’ve got this..Grab a few ziplock/generic brand zipper style bags.. You’re going to have delicious icing in a just a few seconds and no mess.
Wasn’t that easy?.You can either make a whole lot of icing, or just a tiny bit for a few little dots and lines, whatever works for you.. You’ll need ziplock bags, large or small, (I find if you’re going to be really intense about the squishing, the name brand ones do tend to hold up better, but dollar store bags work in a pinch too), icing sugar, butter, vanilla, and food coloring.. No matter what amount of icing you decide to make, you’ll need about 1 part butter to 4 parts icing sugar, a splash of vanilla and a few drops of food coloring.
