Wine Liquor Armoire Out of Old TV Cabinet DIY

Here's the before of our old TV cabinet. It was a catch all for everything. I decided to make it into a Liquor Cabinet. I sourced some Free, love Free, wine boxes from Trader Joe's, and then went to filling it up. Simple, fun easy. I also installed some tap lights under the wine glasses, (the old cable/vcr holder). It is perfect and we love it. Best of all we can close the doors and no one knows what is behind it. What are you waiting for?

After.

After.

Love the Free, Trader Joe's wine boxes.

Make one for yourself. Use an old night stand, dresser, or TV cabinet.

Controlling Cord Clutter

I hate looking at cord clutter. Don't you? Well on my desk I have 2 laptops, and a monitor. All of which create clutter. So, when digging thru my garage I found this old apple crate, and decided to use it to control my clutter. I love it. Best part, FREE. Yay.

Homemade Individual Chicken Pot Pies

I am so not a cook. However, I do make a mean pot pie. Simple really. Just poach some chicken or use leftovers, add 1 can undiluted Cream of Chicken Soup, and 1/2 bag of mixed veggies, (frozen). Then pop in a small crock, and put some pie crust on top and bake until golden brown. Yum, and you can control the carbs and calories. Oh, and the yummy tomato and mozzarella salad with basil and balsamic vinaigrette is a great accompaniment.

Even more fun, the crock is from the Dollar Store, as is the Square Plate.

Wine Riddling Rack

The hubs and I are doing a wine room. Right now it is just a large space with halfway taped and textured walls in the garage. Ok, we need to get working on it, but he has been making both a red and white wine, and well, we just haven't felt like working on it. I was surfing over at Purestylehome.blogspot.com, and saw this great picture from Elle Decor, and it has spurred me on. I love, want, must have a riddling rack. Look how great it looks in this dining room. Must have one. Now, to find one in budget, or to try and make? Hmmmm.

Costco Lights

When cruising Costco and sampling food you would never buy, (you know you do it). The hubs and I ran across these lights for under $35. Had to have them. He put them up in record time. They look amazing, in our 1947 house, with our gray/green cabinets and wall. The cabinets look white in the pic, but are really gray/green.



The before lights, he got them down too fast for a pic.

Lighted Halloween Houses

I collect lighted houses. Both Halloween, and Christmas. I put my lighted houses down the middle of my farm table. Makes eating fun for the month. What do you collect?

"Garbage Can Nachos"

Nachos and Red Wine. So before our Sunday Night Mad Men, the Hubs and I decided to have Nachos and Wine. Nachos are a favorite food of mine, and he indulges me once in awhile.

So he calls them "Garbage Can Nachos". Truthfully, we had homemade pinto beans, that we heated and smashed, homemade guacamole, and fresh cilantro, green chilies, jalapenos, and grilled a steak for the top, rare for him, done for me. It was yummy. What is a favorite food that you love to cook?
