I love to decorate my house. Wait. Let me rephrase that: I love the idea of decorating my house. Like other busy moms and full-time professionals I don't always have the time to do what I'd like to do in the home decor department, but have recently been plugging away at little nooks and crannies in my home and am pretty happy to share my latest haul with you.
So I have this table in my kitchen that is right off of our back hall entrance. It's a great table and is the one place that I can easily change up as holidays come and go or when seasons change. About a month ago I took down my Christmas decorations and that table stood sad and bare for a good week and a half before I even began to think about what I was going to do next with it.
During Christmas I created an arrangement of three mason jars and filled them with candy and candy canes. Next to the jars I had a bowl of pinecones and holly berries and a picture of the girls and I. I loved the mason jars so I decided to keep them but just couldn't figure out what I wanted to do. One day my oldest daughter came up to me and was begging to do an art project. I was probably cleaning the kitchen or something at the time so I couldn't get her the supplies right that instant. Then it hit me. I decided to fill the mason jars with random arts and crafts items. One holds a collection of washable markers, the second is full of buttons we use to make sock puppets or to glue on other projects, and the third has a bundle of multi-colored pipecleaners and a few feathers. I placed a bowl with a couple of cookbooks inside and kept the picture of the girls and I.
I was pretty proud of this little arrangement when I was finished it and became even more excited when it was actually utilized by the girls. Success!

Building an orangery is the ideal and smart choice while planning to extend a house. From the time they were first built, they have been developed to become exotic greenhouses. Though their concepts may appear similar, orangeries are different from conservatories. Whereas the roofs of conservatories are made of glass completely, the orangeries have lantern roofs,
