An Almond & Cherry Upside Down Cake {by Roost}

One of my new favorites is an almond & cherry upside down cake from Roost. I have also made it with blueberries and the kiddos actually liked it better. I think the tartness of the cherries threw them off a bit, but I adored it. Its gluten free of course and rather good for you. I make all my desserts with almond flour these days. It's so good for you and is much less complicated than mixing all the other GF flours out there. I buy mine here. It's by Honeyville. I prefer it to cook with versus other brands. Anyway, back to the cake. Caitlin's blog Roost has quickly become a favorite of mine. Her photography and styling is impeccable not to mention all the recipes she posts are quite divine. She just moved back to Alabama with her husband and I do hope to run into her one day. Maybe she will want to teach me her culinary ways. At times I still feel like such a beginner.

Wallpaper {dreaming}

Did you all happen to see this image over on Jenny's blog the other day? Well, I can't seen to get it out of my mind. I have fallen head over heels for the Nakai pattern wallpaper in Tobacco by Pierre Frey. I am already imaging it in our next home. Any ideas on how much this paper would set one back? Yes, I am already thinking budgets without having actually bought our next home. ha.

Here are a few more papers that I have been loving as of late...

I am pretty much obsessed with Farrow & Ball's new line of Broccato Papers. I would love to be daring and do the master in the navy color way, but in reality I would probably do a neutral pattern. Both quite gorgeous in my opinion.

This paper I happened to snag on One Kings Lane quite awhile back. It is by LuLu DK and is Chant in the beige colorway. It is subtle and that is one reason I adore it. I managed to get three double rolls. I did buy it with the intent of putting in our next home. I suppose I will ask a wallpaper master to tell me where it would fit. I am thinking a powder room? I really have no idea how far it will go.

We are still considering a move with a possible renovation in mind so this would be one amazing win for us! Here are a few that I can already envision using...

Oh, how I could see this beauty hanging over the worn wood front door.

 

I could see any one of these over my farm house sink. The only trouble I would have would be picking which color to use for the all white kitchen.

 

A pair of these beauties would quickly make their way into the master bath.

I really could go on and on...
