Our black and rainbow, music-inspired craft room
Despite the fact that it is a black room, our newly remodeled office/craft room is very bright and fun! I spend a lot of time in this room blogging and doing projects so I wanted it to be a fun place to hang, and I think it’s mission accomplished.
How to take your living room from “man cave” to “girly”

Gothic garden planning: 5 black blooms worth braving the sun for
As I dove into garden-planning season, I came across this breathtaking flower: the Black Parrot tulip. Now, I know it’s too late to plant tulips, but that doesn’t stop me from fantasizing about these.

Treat yourself! …To another macabre Christmas tree
