Fall is just around the corner, and just like last year, I again have a pumpkin tutorial to share with you. I guess you could say I am a little obsessed with pumpkins! Did you know that in Turkey, there is a beloved dessert made from just pumpkin and sugar? It is one of my favorites!…
DIY Fall Flower Topiary and Hanging Flower Basket
Of all of the places I have lived overseas, only twice did I fall in love with autumn: in Almaty (Kazakhstan) and in New England (USA). My English is limited, but even if it weren't, I would still have a hard time describing the beauty and harmony of the autumn colors in both of those…

Take our portico, for example...do you see the red line…
The Living Room Makeover – Part 2: Two Fans and a Paint Job
