Fall Flavored Apple Cinnamon Cocktail

Can you feel it, the holidays just around the corner? It always feels like a race through November to get ready for both Thanksgiving and Christmas, to decorate, buy gifts, and recreate traditions. But I’m still enjoying the feeling of fall for a few more weeks!

To kick off the weekend, how about a fall flavored cocktail? This adult beverage is made with just three liquid ingredients, and the cinnamon sugar rim gives it extra flavor. The preparation looks best in a coupe glass because of the sparkling prosecco but you could also use a lowball glass for the mixture.

The ingredients in this fall flavored apple cinnamon cocktail are prosecco, cinnamon whiskey, and unfiltered apple juice or cider, paired with rim sugar made with 1 tsp. ground cinnamon, 2 tbsp sugar, and honey. Apple slices make an optional garnish.

 

 

Recipe for two cocktails:

In a cocktail shaker, pour 4 oz cinnamon whiskey and 4 oz. unfiltered apple over ice and shake to chill.

 

To create rim sugar, make a circle of honey on one plate and a circle of the sugar and cinnamon combined on another. Dip the top of the coupe glass into the honey, then dip the honey rimmed glass into the cinnamon sugar mixture.

 

Strain the whiskey and apple juice mixture into the coupe glasses, then top with another 2 oz. of prosecco per glass. In total each cocktail is equal parts 2 oz. whiskey, 2 oz. unfiltered apple juice, and 2 oz. prosecco. If you like cocktails a little more sparkling add and extra ounce of prosecco.

 

The perfect fall flavor in a glass!

 

If you’re wondering about the coupe glasses, mine are a set of four eve coupe glasses from CB2.

The coupe is similar to the old fashioned champagne glasses used in the golden years of Hollywood before flutes became the norm. The coupe is a throwback shape and is available in so many cool shapes and colors for entertaining.

These are a few coupes that have a bit more flair beyond basic clear glass. Time to stock up for your holiday festivities!

Weekend Reading 10.17.21

I’m leaving Italy tomorrow after a week of beautiful scenery and great weather and lucky me this was a great time to visit.

There was some additional paperwork and tests needed to get here and fly home but it went smoothly since I budgeted extra time for that. I came with two of my best travel mates and we had a great time. Of course I’ll share my experience on the blog soon!

Now it’s back to real life! I read it will rain this week so I’ll be catching up on work and making favorite homemade soups. 🙂

Favorite links from the week: 

I especially love the design of the built in bookcases in this home.

Bravo: this mural wallpaper is stunning.

Ideas for childproofing your home without sacrificing style.

100% agree: the best brand of paint for refinishing cabinets.

Loved reading the process of this glass artist.

So clever and fun, this geometric wainscoting.

Eww, I mean cool! How fun for Halloween: Jello blood worms.

Recommended plants for bedrooms.

8 Days in Italy: What I Packed

It’s been a few days I’ve been in Italy, visiting Venice, Florence, and Verona. In the past ten years I’ve visited a lot of European countries but I haven’t been back to Italy in almost two decades so I’m thrilled to return! If you follow my stories on Instagram, I’ve shared some images of what this week has been like so far.

I’m not a fashion blogger, I travel for the experience and to take a lot of pictures of the landscapes and scenery. I value comfort but I don’t want to look sloppy either so I will bring clothing that make me feel good while I walk around town. I travel light, wear layers, rewash and rotate my outfits. I stick with classic styles but I prefer to mix feminine and edgy.

Today take a peek at some of the separates I brought with me on my trip to Italy and the travel gear I bring with me too!

 

long sleeve swing dressfaux leather jacket

black camo leggingsred lace camiblack combat boots

mustard crewneck sweaterlace trim topstretch ripped jegging

satin leopard print skirt (similar heregold sneakers

marble leggingsblack v neck sweaterblack sneakers

tie dye sweatshirt  / red midi skirt (similar

packable puffer jacketlightweight moto jacket

black floral blouse (similar) / black jeggings/  black stretch rayon dress

I brought clothing that can be mixed and reworn in different combinations. Comfy leggings or jeggings, a few dresses and skirts, patterned or colorful tops and super comfortable shoes!

 

samsonite spinner / this lightweight duffle (sale price here

jewelry bagblack crossbody (night)

marble cosmetic bagssmall backpack (day)

 

A few tips that I follow that help me pack super light:

1. Roll instead of fold your clothing, it’s amazing how much this saves space!

2. Stay in a vacation rental with a washing machine mid way through your trip so you can wash and rewear clothing. Keep in mind some places only have a washer not a dryer so budget 24 hours of time for clothes to dry.

3. Try every outfit on! I’ve skipped this step before and realized I’d gained or lost a little weight or I brought the wrong version of something and smacked my forehead not doing this. Especially since comfort is so key!

4. Stick to a basic color palette, mix in one or two patterned dresses and a few colorful tops/sweaters/skirts.

5. Shoes: comfortable is essential but cute is important too! I like leather sneakers plus a pair of boots in colder weather or sandals in warm weather. The one thing you don’t want is blisters so break in any shoes before you leave, but bring blistercare gel bandages just in case.

________

I’ll be in Italy a few more days! I’ll share the regular weekend post on Sunday and back to blogging when I get back to the States next week.

Ask any questions you have and I’ll get back to you in the comments. Ciao!

How Much Do Custom Cabinets Cost?

Cabinets are home assets. They hold and keep the most important things for you, such as clothes, tools, utensils, display frames and figures, and even your important documents. Almost everything that you need to keep and care for is put in the cabinet. It is essential to invest in cabinets with multiple shelves to help you organize your essentials and household stuff together.

There are various types and sizes of cabinets. There are small ones for documents, and there are big ones that can hold appliances and equipment. There are standing cabinets and hanging cabinets. There are also portable ones as well as those that are mounted on the wall. Each kind of cabinet serves a specific purpose and fits in particular places. For instance, if you want to save space, you can have hanging cabinets. If you have enough household space, you can have standing cabinets. And if you wish to change the placement of your cabinet inside your household now and then, you can have portable cabinets.

A carpenter has the expertise, skills, and experience that can help you achieve a cost-efficient, durable, and highly functional custom cabinet. You can get carpenter quotes to know the best carpenters who offer professional skills and highly satisfactory service near your area. How much does a carpenter cost? It depends on the duration of service and the weight of the workload. You can pay a carpenter by hourly rate or by the project. It is wise to compare quotes to give yourself choices and ensure that you get the best professional work right on your budget.

Advantage Of Custom Cabinets

Custom cabinets are your best choice when it comes to choosing storage for your household. Custom cabinets can fit according to your needs and preferences. The specifications of a custom cabinet are highly dependent on your demand. You can express your style and creativity in your cabinet without sacrificing its quality and durability. Indeed, no penny goes to waste when you are able to get a cost-efficient and very satisfactory cabinet to add value to your household and keep your essentials safe and organized.

More flexible

Custom cabinets can fit any available space in your house. There are unlimited size variations, and it can fit precisely anywhere you wish to put it. They are made to fit your lifestyle, and it is up to you to choose the dimensions, style, and final furnish of your cabinet. But if you have no idea where to begin, a carpenter can help you plan your cabinet, including costing, dimensions, design, and materials that will be used. You do not need to worry about carpentry service deals because you ask for carpenter quotes to hire the best and nearest carpenter in your area.

With the help of a carpenter, you can have highly functional cabinets in the important areas of your household. You can have a well-polished and smoothly furnished cabinet made with excellent woodwork skills.

More durable

The durability and functionality of your custom cabinet are the priority; that is why skilled carpenters use excellent construction methods to make sure that the measurements are accurate and the dimensions are correct. You do not want to have expensive maintenance service along the road, and an essential aspect of ensuring durability is having a thick and sturdy custom cabinet.

The cabinet boxes should be ½ inch on the sides and ¼ inch on the back. But if you can have it at  ¾ inch and ½ inch, that is better. The drawer boxes should be sliding smoothly and neatly with a cracking sound. Of course, you can go beyond these dimensions as long as it fits the space where you will put your cabinet. Lastly, the shelves should be ¾ inches thick. These standard measurements are not new to a carpenter, and their skills and expertise can create a cabinet with accurate dimensions that suit your needs.

Custom Accessories And Details

The best things about a custom cabinet, aside from specified dimensions, are specified accessories and details. There are designated standards of measurement which you can go beyond and add intricate details that suit your preference. Custom accessories and details include cabinet handles, the style of the door opening, and the functions of the shelves. You can have shelves without covering, with a sliding cover, dorr-type cover, or with panels.

A carpenter can help you choose the correct details and accessories for the style of cabinet that you will choose. You can also rely on him when it comes to visualizing the cabinet that embodies your preferences. All of these cabinet accessories and details will be specified during the planning and costing. Make sure to communicate your preferences but make sure that it is reasonable. After all, a carpenter will bring out the best in the custom cabinet that you envision.

Invest In Professional Work

Whether for your new house or a part of a renovation plan, your custom cabinets are one of your most significant home investments. Of course, you want nothing but the best when it comes to adding value to your home and improving your quality of living. It is best if you invest in professional work, and the best woodwork skills you can rely on are a carpenter’s skills.

5 Ways You’re Using Your Dishwasher Wrong

Having a dishwasher can make home living easier for you. Gone are the days when you have to go to work late because of a time-consuming kitchen chore. Using a dishwasher is as easy as loading up the device, adding the dishwasher detergent, pushing a few buttons, and you’re good to go. It only takes a few minutes of your time to be able to come home to a clean, mess-free kitchen. 

Proper usage is key to maintaining the quality condition of your dishwasher. Here are 5 bad dishwashing habits you should break:

Overloading the machine

While running a small load can waste water and energy, overloading the dishwasher has its harmful effects too. It can result in constant overheating, which can shorten the life of your dishwasher. Read the manufacturer’s instructions regarding the proper way to load the machine. 

Using cheap detergents

Always go for a top-quality dishwasher detergent. Cheap products may contain chemicals and other ingredients that can be damaging to the different components of your dishwasher. 

Leaving food waste

You can rely on your dishwasher to properly clean your dishes. However, you are not supposed to load items that are too dirty. Otherwise, the machine will be forced to work harder and consume more energy. 

Forgetting to clean the interior

Your dishwasher needs cleaning every now and then to get rid of food, grease, and soap scum residue that gets stuck inside the machine. It only takes a little time and effort to get the job done, so don’t try to skip it!

Skipping regular inspections

Keep your dishwasher’s health in check by having it inspected and maintained regularly by a pro. Doing so can save you from dealing with expensive equipment repairs and replacements.

Factors to Consider When Choosing New Lighting for Your House

Lighting plays a crucial role in interior design. It has a direct effect on the appearance, mood, and functionality of a room. Besides placement, your choice of a lighting fixture can either make or break your home design. In your next lighting purchase, be sure to consider these important factors to save time and money. 

Overall theme

Always choose a lighting fixture that complements the overall theme of your house and the furniture design. You must decide first whether to go for a classic, contemporary, or transitional theme. Then, you can shop for lighting fixtures.

Ceiling height

Another important factor to consider is the ceiling height of the room. If your ceiling height is 8 feet or lower, it would be ideal to choose flush mount or semi-flush mount lights. That will avoid crowding the space unlike when you install chandeliers and pendant lights. 

Room size

Your lighting should be proportional to the size of the room. Choosing a light fixture that is too small for the size of the room won’t give you the right amount of light for illuminating spaces. On the other hand, too much light can make a room feel uncomfortable. 

Energy efficiency

This is an important consideration when shopping for a lighting fixture. Opting for LEDs will help you save money on your monthly energy bills. According to the Department of Energy, LED lights use at least 75 percent less energy than incandescent lights. 

Consult a licensed San Diego electrician

Are you having a hard time deciding what type of lighting fixture to install in your home? If yes, do not hesitate to ask the experts from your trusted local electrical company. Hiring a professional San Diego electrician to perform installations and repairs in your home will help ensure your safety and the safety of your family. What are you waiting for? Call the pros now!

Sculptural Mirrors in Organic Shapes

On that model home tour I shared earlier this week, I spied an amazing live edge wood mirror on the wall in the dining room of one of the staged homes. (I was also happy to see my favorite small round dining table also used in this client’s dining nook.)

 

Rounded edge rectangle and circle mirrors with pencil thin or wood trim edges have been popular in the past few years but I love that we’re seeing more organic flowing edge mirrors.

These live edge and asymmetrical mirrors mimic more of the shapes you’d see in nature. They make great focal points and as always, mirrors are that perfect solution for bouncing light around a room.

7 Smart Storage Pieces That We Rely On Every Day

Anyone who lives in a small-ish space knows that thoughtful storage can upgrade so many aspects of your life at home when it’s done right (and it can be a daily frustration when it’s not done well or at all). No matter how big your rooms are or how many you have, you just want to be able to access things easily & keep them in a smart spot – and downsizing from our 3150 square foot house to this 1400 square foot home last year definitely challenged us to be even more mindful about how we incorporate the most useful storage systems into our home. Suddenly we were living in 6 rooms (down from 14!) and we also no longer have a garage, an attic, a big outdoor shed/workshop, or even a closet in most of the bedrooms (of our 3 bedrooms, only 1 had a closet when we bought this house!).
