CUCUMBER, BASIL & LIME GIMLET - FREE PRINTABLE DRINK TENT

A few weeks ago we hosted a couples wedding shower for our dear friends Rusty and Lizzie.

We set up a stocked bar outside on the deck fully equipped with an interactive "Make your own Gimlet Bar." The guests loved being able to make and garnish their own drinks to their liking and it turned out to be a huge hit.

With summer right around the corner, do you have any plans to host any gatherings? If so I suggest you set up your very own gimlet bar using the free printable drink tent below.

All you have to do is click on the image and drag it to your desktop for a mac (or right click save as for a pc) open the image, print it actual size on a letter sized sheet of paper, cut it and place it into a photo frame or clear acrylic table stand.

This drink can easily be made virgin for the kiddos, pregnant and non-drinking friends...

simply omit the vodka.

As a little something extra, here are some free printable coordinating cards that you can use for food/menu tents, recipe cards, note cards...anything you want.

Cheers!!

PS. Here is a photo of the set up gimlet bar before guests arrived and devoured. :)

HOUSE OF TURQUOISE

I am so excited to be guest blogging about Vivi's nursery over at House of Turquoise (one of my favorite blogs) today!! 

If by chance you haven't seen the nursery yet, feel free to check out all of the photos and DIY on a budget tips here.

Happy Monday all!

PENDANT LIGHT UPDATE

After a visit to my parent's house awhile back, I came home with some items from my childhood (they are in purging mode).

One of the items was this light fixture that they bought for me in 8th grade. I just loved this thing back in the day!

It has been sitting in our garage for months, and I have been wanting to clean it up and spray paint it with the hopes of replacing one of the guest room lights with it.

Our current guest room light is the dreaded "boob light" and needs to be switched out STAT.

So last weekend I finally spray painted it. After a couple of coats of metallic gold-toned 

primer and a couple of coats of turquoise spray paint I ended up with this...

                                   

And this...

I think I like it turquoise, but am wondering if I should have maybe painted the outsides the same metallic gold as well. I am kind of obsessed with gold (and white) tones right now ... especially after just finishing the nursery.I am going to think on it for a couple of days before we hang it.PS. I don't have a photo of the guest room that this will go in at the moment as it is in need of new wall and trim paint, but the decor/bedding colors are mostly turquoise, limes and browns.

My DIY Hubby

I am not the only DIY-er in my family...

My husband has spent the last few months building this road bike from scratch (saving us thousands, which
makes me very happy), and last night it was finally ready for its first ride ever.

He is my behind-the-scenes helper on most of my DIY projects (kitchen and bathroom remodels, shelf building, etc.) and is a great husband to boot. :)
