bedroom makeover : the look

bedroom makeover mood board

So here it is! It’s still not all put together yet, but this is the main gist. Instead of light blue and chocolate brown the main colors are light gray and navy and the “punch” is going to be with the pillows or accent stuff that can be easily swapped if I want a change.

*note: This is just the look, I don’t have all of these items, and probably won’t be getting them. Although, I really love that nightstand, I might have to give in and get that as B’s replacement. We do have a hefty West Elm gift card that could make it a bit more affordable…

vanilla greek yogurt cupakes | stuff steph does

So let’s talk about Greek yogurt for a moment.

It’s so “in” right now, you know? I feel like Chobani has created this craze around the thick, high protein dairy treat and has turned so many people into these Greek yogurt believers that will never go back to the other stuff.

I know I won’t.

I was hesitant to try it for a while mainly because it is just more expensive. Especially the name brand stuff. But I finally made the switch after comparing the ingredients and basically saw that we were eating yogurt-flavored chemicals and sweeteners rather than natural ingredients, and decided it was worth the few extra cents.

I swear this post isn’t sponsored by anyone, I’m just really enamored by this stuff right now, and not just Chobani, there’s other great ones out there, too.

So anyway, there’s a picture of a delicious cupcake up there, and I’m just rambling on about yogurt. Time to get to the point, I suppose.

I needed to bring a dessert to a dinner party last weekend and for some reason cupcakes just struck my fancy. And boy I’m sure glad they did, these were some fantastic cupcakes. The secret ingredient? You’ll never guess…

Last week I shared pictures from our Detroit trip where we explored the city for overlooked wasted spaces. This past weekend B and I along with the rest of the Columbus Design Week[s] crew explored our own city for some overlooked spaces that have potential to be transformed into something else. Are you curious about why we keep seeking out these wasted urban spaces? Keep reading for more information about a project I’ve been up to for the past few months:
