Welcome

I love cooking food and decorating spaces. I have spent many years learning and refining my skills for the things I am so passionate about. With my blog I want to share suggestions, tips and ideas with hopes to inspire you to become a savvy host and house proud yourself. I am passionate about anything food and home decor and have always thought that the two go hand in hand. My background is Italian and I get my inspirations for food from a family of great cooks. I love to experiment with old favorites and add my own touch to make it new, lighter and healthier. I love coming up with new dishes by just looking in the fridge and using up whatever is in there that day. Some of my best dinner parties were simple foods prepared with passion and the right ambiance and then share it with really great people . I would welcome any comments, ideas or questions.

Why DIY?

Home improvements are a daunting task. We are living in a great era, where we have a wealth of information at hand through media and technology. Flip on the TV and you can at just about any time of the day watch a show about home improvement do's, dont's and how to's. TV, magazines, flyers, mail, you name it, where ever you look there are messages and suggestions on how to improve your home. What should you do? Well no matter how you look at it, it is a good thing to do. If your selling your home it is time to spruce things up and get your house into the best shape possible so that you can generate the most money for your investment. If your staying in your home you need to update from time to time so that things done start to break down or decay.
What ever your story is the best way to stretch your dollar is to DIY. Big box stores offer classes and seminars and tool rentals for home improvements so that you can learn how to. Internet also has a wealth of information, just ask a question press enter and there it is...the answer. The thing I'm trying to say is don't be afraid to try it yourself. Start off with a small project and see what fulfillment you will get when its done. You may catch the renovation bug and try another project because you just saved so much money Doing It Yourself.
Don't forget to have fun!
