New blog. New beginnings. New haircut.

I know I fell off the blogging bandwagon for awhile. But, I'm back & excited to share all the new stuff that's happening at Vanilla Bean. First, I've realized there is more to life than cooking & baking. There's shopping. Decorating. Wine. Photography. Gardening. Shopping. The list goes on and on...and I plan to share it all here!

Second, don't fret...there will still be plenty of cooking going on in the VB kitchen. The kitchen will just be bigger & better. We paid no attention to our real estate agent's advice and put our house on the market. And proceeded to sell it in one day! So, I am going from a small, cramped kitchen:

To this (sorry...I only have the photos I took during the inspection)


We don't close on the new place until August 26. I. Am. Counting. Down. The. Days. We are more than doubling our living space...so, until we move, I am filling my head (and my binder) with decorating ideas. Stay tuned!
