You've made your bed...

I wouldn't mind sleeping in one of those beds... Would you?

Remembering...

Do you remember these guys i planted last fall... on their best days my herbs looked like this:

Well, i still don't quite know what happened but they have never gotten over this mediocre stadium...

As i still haven't given up on my plans of having fresh herbs whenever i wanted them, i had to come up with a new plan...

We are in the midst of spring, which required a redecoration of my balcony: i purchased a table and two chairs, planted yet-to-become gorgeous flowers... and have two boxes reserved for basil, rosemary and mint... this time i gave up on cilantro, chive and parsley.....We'll see how the guys like the thermal environment on my balcony...

the basil looks good and it is growing and growing... the smell is divine

That's quite a difference don't you think?

I am ready for summer...

I am still working on my dining room and it seems as if we finally have found our sideboard to storage all the dinnerware, glasses and silver (although it will be delivered mid february...) It is slowly coming together...
Today i would like to show you different pictures including the same item: a green glass container....

And this was my attempt to work with the container. Never mind the white walls, we still haven't finished decorating, there is not a single picture on the walls yet.... But i have to admit, after 4 years in an apartment with colored walls (i mean all kinds of colors and painting techniques), all white is quite revealing!!!

An this is my black painted wooden table... i am still not satisfied, it has a nice glossy color but every single object placed on the surface leaves traces... i am desperate, where did i go wrong??

I worked with quality paint and sanding paper and still....it is not quite as i wished...

Have i ever told you, how much i love orchids??

Have a wonderful Weekend!!!

The Update...

.... on this:

and we have come this far...

slowly getting there....

Wild Flowers In The Field

And how they smell...

Silence, ça pousse...

I am trying to grow my own little herb garden for my kitchen!!! Pesto Genovese it just around the corner!!

oh, and after one week and a half, these are the results...a bit poor, but we are gonna get there!!! We'll shorten the time with thoughts of pesto, Caprese, green smoothies... fresh herbs everywhere!!!

Stay tuned!
