Perfect Ending 

The perfect dessert for the ending of a perfect day.  What would we do without strawberries and blueberries this time of year?  They make the perfect trifle.

 

Berry Trifle

 

 

4-serving-size package instant vanilla pudding mix
2 cups milk

8 ounce package cream cheese, softened

 6 ounce container vanilla yogurt

10 3/4 ounce frozen loaf pound cake, thawed and cubed (3/4-inch cubes)

6 cups cups strawberries, quartered

 2 cups blueberries and/or raspberries

 

1. Prepare pudding mix according to package directions using the milk; set aside. In a large mixing bowl beat cream cheese and yogurt with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth; stir in pudding.

2. To assemble trifle, in a 2-1/2- to 3-quart glass bowl layer one-third of the cake cubes, one-third of the pudding mixture, and one-third of the strawberries and blueberries. Repeat layers twice. Cover and chill 4 to 24 hours.

Greetings!

The fouth of July is almost here and you know what that means, fun in the sun, family picnics and, of course, fireworks.  As designers we like to pay attention to detail so we have set out to give you a few last minute ideas before your family and guests arrive.

It is important to start your theme on the front porch.

Dress up your potted plants for the Fourth. Find containers that are slightly larger than your existing pots. Look for red, white, and blue ones, or paint containers to match the patriotic color scheme. Place your potted plants inside the new containers and they're ready for Independence Day.

 

Try adding a few accessories to go along with the patriotic theme, a few throw pillows and painted wicker accents will provide that perfect touch.

A little detail will make your table stand out this Holiday.

The 4th of July is around the corner and it's time to throw together a quick, inexpensive, yet chic table setting and party decor for all of those guests that are coming over this week.  Don't stress, stay calm, all it takes is a little detail to make your table stand out this holiday! 

Try adding a few  patriotic pinwheels to a mug filled with sand. 
 
White or blue hydrangeas to a painted container or a blue vase will create that perfect centerpiece. 
We wish you and your family a Happy and Safe July 4th week.
