diy chevron corkboard and Vrsi Mulo

Hello!

Hope all is well! Last night I finally started on my second corkboard which goes in my pantry (my first chevron corkboard is in the basement where I work)...I pretty much eye balled it...the strips of masking tape were approx. 15 cm long....like I said before I hate measuring! :)

This time I only did one coat of white paint.

Sorry about the photo's of my pantry...the lighting isn't good...only got one light in there.

Looks so pretty...didn't want to put anything on it! :)

So happy to read the comments on my Salty giveaway post....it's awesome to read how some of you plan to come to Croatia...well stick around because it's Croatia month here on the blog! LOL I took so many pictures and I'm so excited to share them with you!

So last week we stayed with my Aunt in her beautiful house in Vrsi Mulo...here are a few pictures around her home (will share more of her house tomorrow)...

Her house is the third house up from the beach...HELLO!!!!!!! This is a few from the first floor balcony.

Her olive trees! We are an olive loving family...olives, olive oil...yum!!

Mia! :) She cried when we left for home...that's how much we love it there! :)

It's a tree/plant lovers dream in her yard! :)

Monday

Hello!

Happy Monday! :)

So my husband put up my corkboard!! It's so pretty I don't want to put anything on it! lol I will be doing the corkboard that I keep in my pantry...will post pictures when I'm done and maybe do a pantry update...how I organized it. :)

Made this heart  a long time ago...one of my first sewing projects...I wish I knew how to sew!  That's a photo of Jakov...one year old SWEETIE PIE who LOVES LOVES the water!!!

I mentioned before I was going to paint the frame a Tiffany blue....turned out mint! LOL It's ok...I love the colour! :)

It's pretty hot here in Zagreb....girls on the porch doing their nails (our porch isn't finished....our house still needs a lot of work...just in case you were wondering! :)  ) .....

Next to them our cat living it up!! Ahhh the life of a cat! :) Our other cat never came back...we miss him!

Made pancakes for lunch....we almost never have pancakes for breakfast! I'm sure I've shared this recipe on the blog but here it is anyways....

Buttermilk Pancakes

1 3/4 cups flour

2 tablespoons sugar

2 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

2 eggs

2 cups buttermilk*

1/4 cup oil

In a bowl mix eggs, milk and oil. Add dry ingredients and mix. Don't over mix...a few lumps are a good thing! :)

If your batter is too thick, add a bit more milk...if it's too runny, add some flour.

My kids love Nutella on their pancakes...I love it with maple syrup with fresh berries! I like to prepare pancake mixes ahead of time.....I take all my dry ingredients and store them in ziploc bags so when I'm in a hurry or just too tired it's super easy and quick to prepare! :)

*I use regular milk and it turns out great...if you don't have buttermilk that add 1 tablespoon lemon juice or vinegar to the milk to make one cup.

Pop on over to the Jane's Doodles blog and check out Laura's gorgeous card...LOVE her simple style!

Hello!

Hope all is well.....I'm super excited because the sun finally is out!! Our weather lately sucked...cool and rainy...where's summer???!

Anyways...I spotted this diy on Pinterest and loved the idea....I had bought this little corkboard for my office down in the basement perfect for this project....for those who know me you know I HATE measuring....I eyeball everything....so I took some masking tape and just eyeballed it...

I did two coats of paint (although I think when I do my corkboard in my pantry I'm only going to do one coat...it's a bit more sheer but I think I like that better...)

Here's a peek....I'm going to paint the frame a Tiffany blue-ish colour and will post pictures once it's done and hanging on the wall...but I have to say I love the way it turned out...I was a little worried because I didn't do any measuring....

 I'm loving Make Up Factory's Summer Flowers nail polish collection....this brand works great on my nails (way better than Essie...I don't know what it is about Essie nail polishes but they chip the same day I painted my nails!!)....I bought Marigold and Mint Leaf...by far the best mint colour I have ever tried.

Looks more yellow in the photo (more orange-y in real life)...love it...perfect pop of colour for summer! :)

Finally finished the pantry!!!! Now to clean the rest of the house (which I have neglected!!)...

Have a great weekend!
