Trying to cut down on sugar? For dessert, I've been having a cashew yogurt (plain) with a little coconut ice cream and cacoa nibs - you get the flavor of ice cream, but less sugar! My favorite DF yogurt is <a href="https://foragerproject.com/products/cashewgurt/" target="_blank">this</a> one and <a href="https://coconutbliss.com/" target="_blank">this</a> is the best coconut milk ice cream!! Nibs are from TJs</div>

That's that way this wood veneer art was for me! I love the wood grain of walnut and using veneer is easier to work with than wood - no saw needed!<br />

I also love that it's highly customizable! You can cut out a square, triangle, or any other shape. Today, I'll show you how we created this layered veneer art with a circle! </div>

- <b>Wood veneer 10 mil</b> <b>thick </b>/ 2' x 8' will cover two 20" x 20" frames with material left over (I used <a href="https://rstyle.me/n/cxgjms4dce" target="_blank">this</a> veneer) Note: thicker veneer will work, but it will be more difficult to cut. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
- <b>Mat board 4 ply</b> / 32" x 40" will be enough for two 20" x 20" frames (This will be used as backing to adhere the veneer - you can also use any thick paper you have on hand - it should be about the thickness of a standard mat that comes in a frame (4 ply) or a little thinner.) </div>

- <b>Frames </b>qty 2 (I used <a href="http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/20378440/" target="_blank">these</a> from Ikea) I like the extra dimension that the shadowbox style adds. Note: When selecting a frame, select one where you are replacing a precut mat or the frame will accommodate the thickness of the mat board and veneer. This will ensure that the frames can be reassembled easily. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1. <b>To get started, prepare the mat board this is what you will adhere the wood veneer to.</b> It will need to fit inside your frame. From your frame - remove the mat, or front piece of paper to use as a template. Place it on the corner edge of the mat board and make a few marks (about every 8") on the edge of the template to trace it. You will need two identical pieces that will fit inside your frame. Mine measured 19.75"x19.75"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2. <b>Next, cut out the mat board.</b> Line up your metal ruler with the pencil marks created in step one and use an Xacto knife with a #11 blade. For an even cut, you always want to line your metal ruler up on two marks. If your cut is longer than the ruler, cut and then slide your ruler down, line up the marks and finish your cut. You don't need to cut through the entire piece of mat board in one pass, we typically make a few light passes to cut through.You will need two identical pieces of mat board. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Tip: always keep the ruler on top of the piece that you will be using - this will protect it if your knife strays from the ruler. Also, <b>always look before you cut to make sure your fingers are away from the path of the blade.</b> Keep your hand low and even with the mat board while cutting - you want to drag the heel of your hand on the surface, this will help to keep the blade horizontal versus vertical. It will make cutting much easier and reduce the risk of the blade breaking. And, to ensure a straight cut, running the blade tightly against the ruler will help. Finally, change your blade often, it will make cutting much easier! (I like to buy a 100 pack of blades) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Now, you should have two pieces of mat board (or thick paper that you have on hand) measured to fit inside your frame (ours measured 19.75" x 19.75") </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Alternately, for steps 1 and 2., local craft stores with a framing department will typically make the cuts for you. </div>

5. <b>Draw the circle.</b> Using a compass, place the metal point on the mark created in step 4. Measure the desired radius of the circle by placing the compass on the ruler (our radius measured 5" to make a 10" circle) Repeat on the other large piece of veneer (so you have two large pieces with a circle cut out). Tip: if you don't have a compass, use a large bowl (or desired shape) and trace. To find center, you will need to measure from all sides to make sure it is even. Leave the small square pieces (qty 2) intact. </div>

6. <b>Cut out the wood veneer circle. </b>Using the Xacto knife with #11 blade, cut out the circle following the mark created in step 5. Repeat on the other large piece of veneer. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Tip: Don't worry about cutting through in one pass. We used three thin passes to ensure that our cut was even. Remember to keep your hand low - you want to drag the heel of your hand so that the blade is horizontal. When cutting, think about moving your entire hand with the knife in a fluid motion versus just cutting with the blade. This will help steady the knife and create a clean cut. Slowly cut along the line. Change your blade often to ensure you are cutting with a sharp blade. If you aren't familiar with using the Xacto knife, try a few practice cuts on a scrap piece of veneer. If you're unsure about cutting a circle, try a square instead first, straight cuts will be easier! Leave the small square pieces (qty 2) intact. </div>

11. <b>Weigh with heavy objects.</b> To make sure that the adhesive dries evenly and strongly, place completed veneer pieces on the floor or a flat table and place heavy objects on top. I used a scrap piece of plywood (a little large than the finished art and several heavy plywood shelves from my kitchen cabinets) Allow to dry, following instructions on the can. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Tip: To ensure even drying, make sure that the entire surface is covered and that the objects are very heavy - my shelves weighed about 15-20 lbs. If any veneer is loose after drying, apply a small amount of <a href="https://www.michaels.com/aleenes-original-tacky-glue/M10614859.html" target="_blank">tacky glue</a> with the tip of a knife under the veneer, where it is loose and weigh down again. </div>

I've been thinking about doing some sort of elimination diet - I'm already GF and DF but I'm curious if I am really sensitive to gluten and dairy (and maybe something else?) I had a blood test that said I was sensitive to dairy and gluten, but I'd be interested in trying an elimination diet to reintroduce those items and others to see how I feel. <a href="https://feedmephoebe.com/how-to-do-an-elimination-diet/" target="_blank">This</a> post breaks down different elimination diets, <a href="https://littlebitsof.com/2016/03/whole-30-trader-joes-must-haves/" target="_blank">this</a> shares shopping lists at Trader Joes, <a href="https://greatist.com/eat/whole-30-recipes-for-every-meal" target="_blank">this</a> shares cofounder of whole 30 favorite recipes. I'm leaning towards not whole 30 because I don't eat a ton of meat, and it seems like mainly just vegetables then.. Some elimination diets let you eat some sugar, like maple syrup or raw honey, I do feel that sugar effects me sometimes .. so maybe I do need to cut it out completely for 30 days .. any suggestions if you've had success with an elimination diet?</div>

I love starting fresh in the new year and tackling an organization project - remember <a href="http://sarahmdorseydesigns.blogspot.com/2017/01/bathroom-organization-labels-bins.html" target="_blank">last year </a>when I organized my toiletries? It still makes me so happy today!<br />

I'll be here sharing a little more about the details over the next few weeks. Today, I'm sharing a little more about the switches and outlets from <a href="https://www.legrand.us/audience-landing/architectlanding.aspx" target="_blank">Legrand</a>!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-zgPlPe3kZqc/WkU2zluOlmI/AAAAAAAAQcY/B5JZzLZfrZ8eZJHT7EtmIuKKkTmNxu9rQCEwYBhgL/s640/kitchen-renovation-dorsey-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="427" data-original-width="640" height="426" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-zgPlPe3kZqc/WkU2zluOlmI/AAAAAAAAQcY/B5JZzLZfrZ8eZJHT7EtmIuKKkTmNxu9rQCEwYBhgL/s640/kitchen-renovation-dorsey-2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
You may remember that we've used the <a href="http://sarahmdorseydesigns.blogspot.com/2017/01/winter-living-room-legrand.html" target="_blank">Radiant</a> collection before. In our kitchen, we went with the Adorne collection. Outlets and switches have come a long way since the almond plates and exposed screws (that we were original to the house!)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-t_C0sjgZ_ao/Wlyfn_nyelI/AAAAAAAAQgE/MWb8UZyUD3MwRSAEIwwrRFXdN7s1dvouQCLcBGAs/s1600/legrand-adorne-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="413" data-original-width="620" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-t_C0sjgZ_ao/Wlyfn_nyelI/AAAAAAAAQgE/MWb8UZyUD3MwRSAEIwwrRFXdN7s1dvouQCLcBGAs/s1600/legrand-adorne-1.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
The <a href="https://www.legrand.us/search.aspx?q=adorne" target="_blank">Adorne collection</a> has a square edge, smooth plate and both the switches and outlets are squares - I love the more modern, simplistic design.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-6QuVNorigFA/WlydJloYlWI/AAAAAAAAQf0/eKGeE7fFQVMm2WOIfLb8ncfX1V80HX8bQCEwYBhgL/s1600/legrand-adorne-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="930" data-original-width="620" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-6QuVNorigFA/WlydJloYlWI/AAAAAAAAQf0/eKGeE7fFQVMm2WOIfLb8ncfX1V80HX8bQCEwYBhgL/s1600/legrand-adorne-2.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
All of the switches are touch instead of toggle, so you just have to touch them with your finger instead of using the toggle. So simple, but it makes a huge difference. Also, the dimmer is built into the right of the square, so you just drag your finger up and down to adjust the light level!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

We also installed an outlet in the side of the island. I'm surprised by how much we use it, but it's definitely the most used outlet in the kitchen! It's a smooth square that pushes out to reveal three outlets. Love the smooth look and the extra outlet! </div>

I hope that you had a great weekend! For today's Rental Styled - I'm sharing what I'm planning for my own rental! It's some of my favorite items that I've pulled from my own home (advantage of having a stash!) - both the table and chairs are vintage, but I've linked similar options below!<br />

I have a question for you!! Help a tired mama out!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
One of the most surprising things about having a baby was how to dress them during naps and especially at night. John's become a little more mobile at night so we've transitioned him out of his <a href="https://rstyle.me/n/cwdzbj4dce" target="_blank">sleep suit</a> to a sleep sack. Since he's been in a sleep sack, he's been semi sleeping on his side, so I definitely think he was ready for a little more freedom. The past few nights have been pretty difficult, he's been up a lot, I think a combination of getting used to new sleeping arrangements and a little cold. We keep the thermostat consistent, but sometimes he seems too hot or too cold. I just ordered this <a href="https://rstyle.me/n/cwdy9m4dce" target="_blank">one</a> and this <a href="https://rstyle.me/n/cwdzad4dce" target="_blank">one</a> (options so I can return one!), it's a little pricey, but if they can wear it in all seasons for all naps and nights and it helps regulate body temperature, I'm all for it! They both have good reviews, so I'm hopeful! Any tips if you've had a similar situation!? One size adjusts from 2 months to 2 years. Do babies wear sleep suits to bed once they start walking? </div>

<span style="font-family: Arimo;">We slowly worked at the demo ourselves, worked on the floors (replacing tile with hardwood to match the rest of the house), re routed the electrical and plumbing, installed appliances and lighting and worked with The Home Depot services team to bring it all together!

I am so excited to share with you our kitchen reveal with <a href="https://www.homedepot.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The Home Depot </a>today - the full reveal will be on <a href="https://www.homedepot.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The Home Depot's</a> blog, <a href="http://blog.homedepot.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The Apron</a> (stay tuned for that link!) Today, I'm focusing on one of my favorite parts - the appliances from <a href="https://www.homedepot.com/s/samsung%2520black%2520stainless?NCNI-5" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Samsung</a>!<br />

This space has come a long way - I used to hate being in here because it was dark, cramped, and the appliances barely worked. Now, I love it! I'm actually typing this post from the island now! </div>

We went with the black stainless line by <a href="https://www.homedepot.com/s/samsung%2520black%2520stainless?NCNI-5" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Samsung</a>. I love the contrast with the white cabinets and how it ties in with the pulls and lighting (all from The Home Depot) </div>

First up, the <a href="https://www.homedepot.com/p/Samsung-StormWash-Top-Control-Dishwasher-in-Black-Stainless-with-Stainless-Steel-Tub-and-AutoRelease-Door-for-Faster-Drying-DW80K7050UG/300016914" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">dishwasher</a>. We love the clean front (all controls are on the top!) and that it is whisper quiet. You can easily run it while you're in the space and not even know that it is on! David has asked me several times if it is running. Yes, it's that quiet! </div>

We also love the top rack - perfect for large flat utensils and lids!<br />

We decided to go with a <a href="https://www.homedepot.com/p/Samsung-30-in-Single-Electric-Wall-Oven-Self-Cleaning-with-Dual-Convection-in-Black-Stainless-NV51K6650SG/300359607" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">built in oven</a> with a <a href="https://www.homedepot.com/p/Samsung-30-in-Glass-Surface-Electric-Cooktop-in-Black-Stainless-Steel-with-5-Elements-with-Rapid-Boil-and-Wi-Fi-NZ30K6330RG/300522974" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">cooktop</a> above for a custom look. I love the minimal look - the display is touch screen. This is also my first oven with a convection bake feature and it's pretty neat! It takes half the time cooking at the same temperature! It also has regular bake, roast, broil and a steam feature that I'm looking forward to trying out. The controls are intuitive and easy to use. All shelves are adjustable so that you can accommodate different heights. Lastly, the shelves are sturdy and roll out easily - the middle is actually on ball bearings - perfect for heavy dishes so you don't have to worry about yanking the shelf and spilling. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The cooktop is sleek and has 5 burners - two adjust to small or large based on the pot size. It heats up fast, evenly and is easy to use. We also love the <a href="https://www.homedepot.com/p/Samsung-30-in-Wall-Mount-Exterior-Venting-Range-Hood-in-Black-Stainless-Steel-with-Wi-Fi-NK30K7000WG/300607298?keyword=samsung+black+stainless+30%22+hood" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">exhaust hood</a> - it has multiple settings and it's very quiet! With other exhaust hoods, I wouldn't use the vent because it was so loud, but this one is so quiet - I turn it on almost every time that I cook. </div>

<br />
For the microwave - we decided to install a standard size <a href="https://www.homedepot.com/p/Samsung-1-9-cu-ft-Countertop-Microwave-in-Black-Stainless-Steel-with-Ceramic-Enamel-Interior-MS19M8000AG/301349497" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">microwave</a> in the island with a<a href="https://www.samsung.com/us/home-appliances/home-appliances-accessories/microwaves/microwave-trim-kit-ma-tk8020tg-aa/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> trim kit</a> to give it a custom, built in look. I really wanted floor ceiling cabinets next to the refrigerator - putting the microwave in the island allowed us to do that.<br />

For the <a href="https://www.homedepot.com/p/Samsung-21-5-cu-ft-Side-by-Side-Refrigerator-in-Black-Stainless-Steel-Counter-Depth-Food-Showcase-Design-RH22H9010SG/300197053" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">refrigerator/freezer</a>, we went with a side by side, counter depth with recessed handles. The refrigerator has two options for opening the door - the food showcase allows you to just open the front section to access items in the door. This prevents cold air from escaping - which saves money! </div>

Our number one must have (next to working well!) before selecting appliances was that they were quiet. After using them for several weeks, they most definitely are! You barely hear anything while they are running!</div>

<a href="https://thevintagerugshop.com/shop/souk-blanket-mini-stripe-black/" target="_blank">high</a> | <a href="https://rstyle.me/n/cvttee4dce" target="_blank">medium</a> | <a href="https://rstyle.me/n/cvttk74dce" target="_blank">low</a> </div>
<br />
I've been obsessed with striped Moroccan blankets recently - I'd welcome any of these in my home! High and medium options are perfect for the end of bed - while the low comes in different size options - the smallest option, is what I'm considering low, is perfect for a sofa! <a href="https://rstyle.me/n/cvu6nj4dce" target="_blank">Target</a> has a similar look for even less, though it is sold out online, maybe you have it in a store near you! For the high and medium options, I do feel you get what you pay for - if you're looking to save money, maybe pair with a less expensive duvet set like <a href="https://rstyle.me/n/cvu6rh4dce" target="_blank">this</a> and <a href="https://rstyle.me/n/cvu6s74dce" target="_blank">quilt</a>!<br />

I love everything, but I think my favorite is the <a href="https://www.mpix.com/products/funstuff/thumbprintphotobox" target="_blank">thumbprint boxes</a> - you can select either 50 unmounted or 10 mounted prints - both sets come with 4 stands and a wooden box for easy, interchangeable display and storage! Such the perfect gift! </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The <a href="https://www.mpix.com/products/photobooks/premium-panoramic" target="_blank">photo books</a> are also gorgeous! A linen cover (you can select your color) and a seperate dust jacket, if you'd like one. It comes with preselected layouts - all you need to do is upload photos and the book creates itself (you can rearrange photos and edit later). The <a href="https://www.mpix.com/products/calendars" target="_blank">calendars</a> are large and good quality too! I like that if you upload a photo that is too low resolution, it will tell you to reselect to a better quality image. Perfect for gifts!! </div>

We'll be regularly back and forth between Maryland and Connecticut, so we have a place here! I haven't decided exactly how much I'll be furnishing, but I probably won't be able to help myself - my creative wheels are already turning!<br />

We stopped on our way up here and picked up a sofa from the West Elm outlet in Lancaster, PA. Love that store, it gives me heart palpitations! ha! You can get great deals, and the staff are super helpful! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We got the <a href="https://rstyle.me/n/cvsauk4dce" target="_blank">Harmony sofa with chaise</a>. Love it! It's super comfy and lounge-y - I highly recommend if you want something perfect for relaxing - watching TV or reading a book! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
After a few days, we got internet (why is setting that up always painful!?!?) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
More details to come!! and I'll be back tomorrow with last minute gift ideas for Christmas and more! </div>

I made <a href="https://www.thekitchn.com/recipe-kohlrabi-and-cabbage-salad-with-maple-lemon-dressing-passover-recipes-from-the-kitchn-217338" target="_blank">this</a> salad at Thanksgiving (with modifications) and it was a big hit! I used kale and red cabbage and toppings that I had on hand - I love the salad dressing! So simple! I also made a little more salad dressing and used it for lunches this week. I roasted some veggies earlier in the week and tossed in the extra throughout the week! I added hemp hearts for protein.</div>
