Kim’s Peach Dessert

I am a veggie girl.  I would choose asparagus over an apple any day.  …but peaches, I LOVE peaches.  Our neighbors get Colorado peaches brought in twice a year and you are able to reserve a box of these amazing peaches {click HERE for more info in case you live near Stillwater, MN} and it is fun to have peach everything!  Below is the easiest recipe in the world.  It is so good, so simple and you can add more of this and that to make it to your liking. Can you find the Where’s Kim & Natalie {like where’s Waldo} in the shot below?

This recipe is very similar to the pumpkin cake that we made in the Fall.

Chocolate & Strawberry Cake

Well what would the month of “Love” be without a little chocolate!  We decided to show you another version of our “Raspberry Buttercream Cake“.  We used the same white cake recipe but used a delicious chocolate frosting and topped it off with fresh strawberries.  Simple, decadent, and delicious!

Also for today… We’re excited to have our “LOVE” pillow featured over at Dear Lillie, one of our favorite blogs!  Make sure to check it out!

Aunt Katie’s Pumpkin Bread


Here are the ingredients. {Grandma always said “Libby’s” Pumpkin was the best.}

These are my favorite dishes to bake breads in.  I’ve collected them over the years from Goodwill {Usually about $3 each}.

In honor of Aunt Katie who just celebrated her 80th Birthday, we’ve decided to feature her famous Pumpkin Bread!!!  This is a family favorite!  ENJOY!!!

Simple Blueberry Dessert


This simple {not from scratch} dessert idea is perfect for a last minute get-together.  All the ingredients can be purchased ready-made, and you can select a berry that your color scheme the best.  We chose blueberries to go with this “color switch“.

Brunch Affair Color Switch!


We had so much fun with our dining room shoot, that we’ve decided to do it again but in a totally different color scheme.  We switched out all the pinks and greens for yellows, and aquas.  When you have a neutral base (white table and chairs, a subtle wall color and neutral drapes) this is so easy for anyone to do.  My favorite decorating advice it just that- keep the main pieces neutral then add accent colors with pillows, artwork, flowers, etc..  Not only is this easy an easy way to decorate, but also affordable!

{So what did we do differently?}

1. We used hydrangeas instead of peonies in the milk bottles because they were in season.

2.  We simplified our napkin ring even more by just adding a simple daylily to it.

3.  We used a different arrangement of vintage table clothes.

4.  We took a simple white plate then dolled it up with an aqua saucer (found at Goodwill for $.99 each)

5.  We changed up the centerpiece with flowers, etc.  (We took the coffee out of the vintage canister, and added hydrangeas instead!)

We’re so excited to have our Brunch Affair featured in the April 2012 issue of Romantic Homes Magazine!!!


And that’s our Brunch Affair Color Switch!!! Take a look at the differences below!!!
