  Terribly Terrific Toffee
1 cup unsalted butter (no margarine allowed)
1 cup brown sugar
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
40 saltine crackers

Preheat oven to 350ºF. Line a 15x10-inch jelly roll pan or a 12x17-inch cookie sheet with foil and spray with non-stick spray. Lay a flat layer of crackers out on the foil. Melt the sugar and butter until a boil is reached. Reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, for 5-6 minutes or until mixture is thickened and sugar is completely dissolved. Pour this mixture over the crackers and spread to coat evenly. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the toffee becomes bubbly. After removing the pan from the oven, let it sit for 3-5 minutes. Sprinkle on the chocolate chips, let them soften and melt, and then spread them into an even layer.Let cool and, if desired for expediting purposes, refrigerate until hardened. Break into pieces the size of your choice.

Greetings!  , 
 
Front door 2
What better place to spend the holidays than right at home?  With family members near and far, you may be thinking, "Where will everyone stay?"  Space issues don't have to mean you can't have the whole gang over for the Holidays.  It just means you may need to rethink the space you have.  How about starting with a neutral sofa that can double as a sleeper?  It's about time to treat yourself to a new piece of furniture.  You deserve something new.

Multi Purpose Guest Room
  
When space is at a premium we often need it to pull double or triple duty.  If your guest room is anything like ours it serves as a home office, craft room and a catch all on any given day.  You may ask yourself, "How can I possibly make room for any guest among this mess?"  Start with a sleeper sofa or daybed paired with a coffee table.  It could be a cozy spot to relax but then folds out in seconds for your guest bed.  We love the versatility of wood file cabinets as end table and nightstands.

Furniture Equivalent to the
Little black dress
It can be so much fun to freshen up your wardrobe at the beginning of each season.  And just how your closet is filled with certain basics your home should also contain these certain essential pieces that can transition from season to season.  For instance, a neutral sofa is the furniture equivalent to the little black dress.  It provides the perfect foundation to build by.  Pair it with accent pillows and new accessories for a seasonal change.  You never can go wrong with that Perfect Neutral sofa!
