I hope you all had a wonderful day. I am sharing the dip I took to our daughters for one of our snacks. My best friends daughter originated this dip, that is why I call it Leslie's dip:) It is very yummy! Start out with a layer of cream cheese and chives, the tub. Then add a tub of hummus, I use the Sabra original.<br />Next I add one cucumber, chopped then a layer of cherry tomatoes chopped.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5_ggy0OYaDu4F7IQvnlj_ByKCKh0CHP9m1neGR-bQ8XlfTMkMF4QyoL5Bt8CYl_HigX2H9WyBVZmucyh8OWUQBNrIubqIyjkt2eweSlfohCHC7TfNacozT8nc5gI4glqrR2_pC22IWHtV/s1600/Easter+Sunday+3-31-13+003.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5_ggy0OYaDu4F7IQvnlj_ByKCKh0CHP9m1neGR-bQ8XlfTMkMF4QyoL5Bt8CYl_HigX2H9WyBVZmucyh8OWUQBNrIubqIyjkt2eweSlfohCHC7TfNacozT8nc5gI4glqrR2_pC22IWHtV/s640/Easter+Sunday+3-31-13+003.JPG" width="640" /></a><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhW2SSD2hMajCvpY9MvosiUAuFvHAwXlEUYKPw0hhbLJgFpmTmohre53F8edCRc8PkNhvDmqTVRdXCOZjAN9tF8qr-5lDvedsQR_cWrp4Y35NGagO7vQBoHYBhYYmWMfHFS63hztdBuP00F/s1600/Easter+Sunday+3-31-13+004.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhW2SSD2hMajCvpY9MvosiUAuFvHAwXlEUYKPw0hhbLJgFpmTmohre53F8edCRc8PkNhvDmqTVRdXCOZjAN9tF8qr-5lDvedsQR_cWrp4Y35NGagO7vQBoHYBhYYmWMfHFS63hztdBuP00F/s640/Easter+Sunday+3-31-13+004.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> Next is a layer of SLICED black olives.

We DID have dinner, everyone made it here. The roads actually were fine so it worked out. Since it is Easter week, I set an Easter table. My centerpiece is these faux tulips, placed on my clear glass cake stand and surrounded by some tiny pastel eggs.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvFGu_tD4TWJaBW1Ve7Aos2JBPg3dfoU0CNaw13iVbGd1LVOyCTLzMLayksWZFSbWeRSIXSe7iQqnWW4d387e3Nb_2A6p6NFZo202JofG0wnZKMWFtyNg3EETAhSPE-y0Mg5CtQnFVezEA/s1600/Easter+Table,+dining+room+002.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvFGu_tD4TWJaBW1Ve7Aos2JBPg3dfoU0CNaw13iVbGd1LVOyCTLzMLayksWZFSbWeRSIXSe7iQqnWW4d387e3Nb_2A6p6NFZo202JofG0wnZKMWFtyNg3EETAhSPE-y0Mg5CtQnFVezEA/s640/Easter+Table,+dining+room+002.JPG" width="480" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> The tulip candlesticks are the perfect pairing.

a girl walks into a bar

OK, so it wasn't a bar, but it is still a good story. Two good stories.<br /><br />First, remember this little gem I found a few weeks back?<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi02Afx02wm9DNrFW1P6kRG9cjkyaqPdfUwQOTEv85Lt1BvYrLhFxiT_-xB0X90YRQ7fKAUWdM2qiqHMZBkmHznRyb0FbNgeMdYqMi89tHYW3EC9SYlXpqLABvHHvZ-_AbdYwRAp1tHqLW0/s1600/chipendalebench.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="377" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi02Afx02wm9DNrFW1P6kRG9cjkyaqPdfUwQOTEv85Lt1BvYrLhFxiT_-xB0X90YRQ7fKAUWdM2qiqHMZBkmHznRyb0FbNgeMdYqMi89tHYW3EC9SYlXpqLABvHHvZ-_AbdYwRAp1tHqLW0/s400/chipendalebench.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />Well after several trips back to the store to measure, stare and contemplate<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-FTUqIdA8IG6geWfGs5UkmD8uQhF1WACQyEUYz2j7DyeeokCrnm0cvstY6dKumpM-ijZGCTB3HzDDK_8735hddkLj2hIQQcj-Z9MaYILF941GIB1by9B4nmFeRCXsutJKccqc7KzV_vD_/s1600/Chippendalebench.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-FTUqIdA8IG6geWfGs5UkmD8uQhF1WACQyEUYz2j7DyeeokCrnm0cvstY6dKumpM-ijZGCTB3HzDDK_8735hddkLj2hIQQcj-Z9MaYILF941GIB1by9B4nmFeRCXsutJKccqc7KzV_vD_/s400/Chippendalebench.jpg" width="368" /></a></div><br />the old girl is at home where she belongs.

Now I just need to rip down that wallpaper. And paint. And get a new mirror. And pillows. And rug. Don't tell the hubs, but we've got another project ahead people.<br /><br />Story #2 is a story of surprise, drama and intrigue. Or, if you follow me on instagram (<a href="http://instagram.com/littleblackdoor/" target="_blank">follow me here</a>) then it's a story you've already 'heard'.<br /><br />Last Saturday I was on my way to a little store I love to source a table for a client. But I was early and they weren't open yet so I went next door to the Goodwill to <strike>waste time</strike> search for good finds.<br /><br />And as I turned the corner I saw this.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFZn2YFJHJ2KksQubheGmxupmhVxxKSTSdH8MkgSWBNPb1jC_YqAZmXv0hk-x3iBwe4JZDhm8vMY-W3fewCTdsnW2fm29SagPPpAnCarjD3_YpFIoQvMHseQpciVWJmq81zhXbevfUqfBR/s1600/Goodwillcouch.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="393" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFZn2YFJHJ2KksQubheGmxupmhVxxKSTSdH8MkgSWBNPb1jC_YqAZmXv0hk-x3iBwe4JZDhm8vMY-W3fewCTdsnW2fm29SagPPpAnCarjD3_YpFIoQvMHseQpciVWJmq81zhXbevfUqfBR/s400/Goodwillcouch.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />Allow me to read the tag for you. $30 people. (ok, I added the 'people')<br /><br />I took a picture immediately and then took a seat. Comfy. I lifted the cushions. Clean. I looked for stains. Negative (with the exception of one small crayon mark).<br /><br />So with all of these good check marks I of course...walked away. I went on my way next store and went about my regularly scheduled errands. But I kept thinking about it. And thinking about it. We need a new couch for our family room. We'd been planning on just getting a <a href="http://thelittleblackdoor.blogspot.com/2012/05/feet-up-or-laying-down.html" target="_blank">slipcovered couch or sectional</a>.<br /><br />Plans change.<br /><br />That night I googled to find out what time Goodwill opened and made a plan to go and get my little honey. Even the biggest snow storm we've had in 30 years wouldn't stop me. I piled my girls in the car, drove 10 miles an hour thru some heavy falling snow and slapped down my $30.<br /><br />Whoop Whoop.<br /><br />She is now <a href="http://thelittleblackdoor.blogspot.com/2012/04/take-seat-part-4.html" target="_blank">were I put all my best couches, the garage</a>. And my head is spinning about what to do with her. What colors would you use with her? What patterns? I think I feel an inspiration board coming on. Prepare to hear a lot more about this girl over the next few weeks.<br /><br />Happy Weekend!!

favorite room fun

I'm over at <a href="http://sadieandstella.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Sadie + Stella</a> today talking about my favorite room. (three guess which one it is).

anatomy of a gallery wall

Happy Monday! I trust that y'all had a splendid weekend. We got pummeled with more snow than we should have for the whole month of December, never mind the fact that it is almost April. Mamma ain't happy. I've got some flip flops burning a hole in my closet. I need spring!<br /><br />I want to thank all of you for your kind words about the girls' room and all of your great questions. You know how to make a girl blush! There were lots of questions about things on the gallery wall so I thought I would tackle those today.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZt6o1h0lRBVhFk2LqK2UZ-nqPZx7S0LG9VwQ5m6R1ekjLxJe2a7ECs8m0Yx7-Xcu5FUrR60b272xQM0S49Delctkx1x2qXl9NMUbPFBY43pgCh6CEUI_OM0QkEcVTBr0BSyZzBRO0Oizh/s1600/Anatomyofagallerywall.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="508" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZt6o1h0lRBVhFk2LqK2UZ-nqPZx7S0LG9VwQ5m6R1ekjLxJe2a7ECs8m0Yx7-Xcu5FUrR60b272xQM0S49Delctkx1x2qXl9NMUbPFBY43pgCh6CEUI_OM0QkEcVTBr0BSyZzBRO0Oizh/s640/Anatomyofagallerywall.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />Here are the specifics on what I included and why.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiF0-XDyVpWz4sd23aPS8k20S3jB6BTIWLm28MPoYRq0xrgXr3h4GHxGIx97uZwzwKeeOb39Zi2PW-xYrtAaO_spKPW_8Wa55w697Mi1lXRXmyCQatJWTyn1a3MlqiYbzsnp0S6ZDrfE5S5/s1600/loveyouforever.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiF0-XDyVpWz4sd23aPS8k20S3jB6BTIWLm28MPoYRq0xrgXr3h4GHxGIx97uZwzwKeeOb39Zi2PW-xYrtAaO_spKPW_8Wa55w697Mi1lXRXmyCQatJWTyn1a3MlqiYbzsnp0S6ZDrfE5S5/s400/loveyouforever.jpg" width="293" /></a></div><br />1. <b>Keep it personal.</b> This is a 'commissioned original'. I wanted something vertical so I asked my uber talented graphic designer bestie to take some lyrics and make them pretty. This is from a song, I Will, by a little band called The Beatles. I sing this each night to the girls (Eve sings along). They are the only ones allowed to hear me sing unless cocktails are involved.<br /><br />2. <b>Add something with dimension.</b> A <a href="http://thelittleblackdoor.blogspot.com/2013/02/pom-pom-heart-art.html" target="_blank">craft I did with the girls</a> for Valentine's Day. It is their handy work and they are very proud of it.<br /><br />3. <b>Humor is important.</b> Let me introduce you to Herb. 'Herbie' to his friends. The hubs got the ceramic dear head for Christmas and as soon as he opened it the girls were smitten. It was Amelia's idea to put Herbie in their room and the hubs was gracious enough to share him. Right now he wears some forsythia for this season I hear we are supposed to get someday called 'spring', but Amelia is on the hunt for the perfect antlers (aka branches) that we can make glittery. Because when you think of a mounted deer head, you think of glitter. At least I do.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjojPBq2IqQtheeUZdeaELeuWlOYo0lPIxGstN4Z1GSsq-Y_2qIEN3XK1z8ZIbx2S13IgGSPm6Zrqby688DM5v9QDSSo2yCG_G4M8JDn-t6SgCcy0lk0HvPbCLpS0aW12xCRyAtuolx4lUj/s1600/AmeliaArt.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjojPBq2IqQtheeUZdeaELeuWlOYo0lPIxGstN4Z1GSsq-Y_2qIEN3XK1z8ZIbx2S13IgGSPm6Zrqby688DM5v9QDSSo2yCG_G4M8JDn-t6SgCcy0lk0HvPbCLpS0aW12xCRyAtuolx4lUj/s400/AmeliaArt.jpg" width="375" /></a></div><br />4. <b>Art is in the eye of the beholder.</b> An unsolicited piece by Amelia herself. She came into the kitchen one day over the moon to show this off. My favorite is a toss up between the swing on the tree and the paver walk. The girl is a genius obviously.<br /><br />5. <b>Include something that includes all the colors of your scheme.</b> One of my favorite watercolors from <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/MaiAutumn" target="_blank">MaiAutumn</a>.<br /><br />6. More pretty watercolors my parent's gave <a href="http://thelittleblackdoor.blogspot.com/2012/02/very-first-birthday.html" target="_blank">Eve for her 1st birthday</a>.

And the yellow ties into the colors of the room. Any random group of things can become cohesive thru color.<br /><br />10. <b>Break the routine.</b> A vintage oval gold frame from my stash.

There is also an accompanying illustration that severely dates me. Let's just say Benetton was one of the stores featured. They did have great rugbys. I'll keep that little drawing for myself.<br /><br />13. B. Baumgartner. No expanding on that really.<br /><br />And yes, I used my tried and true <a href="http://thelittleblackdoor.blogspot.com/2012/02/step-into-my-gallery.html" target="_blank">template hanging method</a> and it worked like a charm. Take that plaster.<br /><br />So that is how I go about picking what little nuggets make it up on the wall. How do you pick what goes on your wall?

Well, it is the second day of Spring and we woke to SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was coming down fast and big, fat flakes!!! But it didn't last too long and is now all melted and just a memory. I decided I wanted to set the breakfast bar and it has gone through some additions along the way so I thought I would show you all of it. I started out pretty simply but then as I remembered things, added them. It starts with a pretty runner rather than placemats. I love this runner and this is a good place for it. Then I put my favorite square green dishes topped with a pretty cream scalloped salad plate.
