Hannah’s Italian Pasta Salad

Hi friend! Okay, I know its technically fall now, but seeing as how its still in the low 90s here in Austin, Texas, I wanted to share my homemade pasta salad recipe with you. I wouldn't say I have a ton of original recipes, I'm more of a recipe follower (or recipe adapter, if you will), but I get asked about this recipe the most, hands down. This is a super easy recipe (if you can boil noodles, you can make this) to throw together for any gathering, and its delicious served cold or at room temp. Now, I know…

She is now at the point of furnishing some of the rooms,…

A DIY Modern Farmhouse Vanity

no Comments

Hiiiiiiii! I am so excited to share this project with you today. It came together in a whirlwind of two weekends, traveled almost 1500 miles, then we wrapped up the install two weeks later. Several weeks ago, I wrote this post on our plans for my brother-in-law's new vanity. There used to be a pedestal sink in his fairly small bathroom which left no countertop space and ample room around the sink that would be better suited as storage, so when Sam and Ellie couldn't find a vanity cabinet in the right size, we were delighted they asked for our…
