Greenhouses Made With Salvaged Windows

Think it's too early to thinking about and planning for spring? Never!

As a matter of fact, now is the perfect time to begin planning your yard and gardens, 
and for more reasons than one. First of all, it's wise to plan ahead and be prepared, 
but even more beneficial  (at least in my eyes) is the lift your spirits get when you
envision the warmer weather, the blooming flowers, and all the other things that
come along with springtime. 

What better way to recycle old windows than build them into a unique garden greenhouse

 or potting shed? Check out what some creative folks have crafted using reclaimed old 

windows and doors, and maybe you'll be inspired to create your own!

I love all the elements - and colors - of this pretty greenhouse

resolutions

Have you thought about your new year's resolutions? I have started to jot down a few, some trivial and some meaningful. A fun one I have decided on is to cook my way though some of my favorite cookbooks in 2013. 

For the last few years, I have been a creative cook, creating meals from what needs to be used in the fridge or freezer, not thinking to go to my cookbook collection. When reorganizing the shelf the other day, I realized that so many of them are being ignored.

This year, I will try to get through most of Ina Garten's cookbooks. I love Ina's recipes (and her pretty homes). Her recipes are always delicious and her cookbooks are filled with beautiful photography. I have used her first one, The Barefoot Contessa Cookbook the most, bought it years ago when it first came out. It is full of bookmarks and stains.

I will blog about my journey through Ina's books, a la Julie and Julia and post about any yummy discoveries here and there. What are some of your resolutions this year?

  Happy New Year!
