theinspiredroom Blog

Here is the link for one of my new favorite things

http://theinspiredroom.net/

The owner is Melissa, and her blog is the absolute BEST for home decorating on a budget, making the most of what you have and great organizing tips. The above photo is of a small christmas tree she decorated with only her mother's old silver cutlery attached using jute string...how cool is that! So go check out her blog, but do so at your own risk, I became addicted to it after just one viewing.

My New Favorite Sandwich

Okay, I think this might be my new favorite sandwich!!! Follow the link below for the recipe. It is really easy to make, and the bread I used was Pumpernickel Rye which I lightly toasted in the toaster, maybe 30 seconds. The prep time doesn't take as long as the recipe says.
