Wheat Grass!

To bring a little color into the kitchen area, BF and I decided to plant some greens. After a little investigation we thought wheat grass would be the perfect planter filler. Not only is it super easy to grow, but it sprouts extremly fast.

We bought our wheat grass seeds off e-bay from a seller in Wisconsin. Two pounds was only $10 shipped! And let me tell you...two pounds is PLENTY! We planted six pots of wheat grass and it we probably used about 25% of the seeds.

Here's a quick run down on planting them wheat grass.

• Soak the seeds in water overnight. 
• Place some rocks in the bottom of the planter for water drainage
• Fill the pot about 3/4ths of the way up with organic soil
• Sprinkle the seeds all over the top of the soil
• Add a thin layer of soil to cover the seeds
• Water the seeds
• Watch the magic happen!

In less than a week, you will have some beautiful tasty wheat grass! If anyone has any ideas of what to do with wheat grass, let me know! 

Happy Spring!!!

Wow...it has been far too long since my last blog post. I guess things just get crazy busy during the school semester. As this semester is winding down, it is certainly time to get back into the blogging mode.

The BF bought his first house a month ago. I am soo proud of him. Buying a house at 21 yrs old is a major accomplishment in my mind. His new house has been keeping me busy and in the decorating mood! We have lots of plans in mind for this summer.

Here's a preview of some of the projects in store:

• Modernizing this $30 Dresser from The Salvation Army: 

•  Grow some Wheat Grass. (PS...We got these planters at target for 90% off!!!)

•  Spice up the patio

•  Paint! Yes, that is black paint :)

• Reupholster this Sweet $7 chair from Goodwill

• Finish working on the half-bath (electric blue accents to come!)

Stay tuned as we work on making this super cute house a home....
