Lori's Favorite Picks.

As the owner and lead designer of Lavender Fields Lori is constantly being presented with the most beautiful new products. Each item that goes into the shop or online is hand selected by Lori based on craftsmanship, quality and beauty.  Most items get tested out in her home so she can personally give her clients reviews on everything she has tried and loved. As a mother of 5 year old and a house with cats and a dog everything needs to be durable and able to stand up to many washes. This week Lori picked some of her absolute favorites to share with you.

Salvaged Furniture

Each is made to order and no two will look alike. 

The pieces are naturally rustic and the distress of each piece varies.

All of us at Lavender Fields are proud to present our salvaged wood furniture pieces. 

We carry reclaimed wood beds, desks, tables, benches, storage units, dressers and much more. We offer the best prices for these unique interior designer favorites. 

Plymouth Pine Shelving Unit

Our reclaimed pine floor joists are salvaged from a dairy barn Plymouth WI. The unique finish is due to years of lime-wash treatments that lighten the wood naturally over time.

Chevron Bed

Originally inspired by our reclaimed Chevron and Herringbone flooring patterns, we’ve combined our rough and smooth pines into an unconventional Chevron headboard. Reclaimed varnished bleachers narrowly frame the bed and provide a slight nod to seventies.

Modular Crate Shelving

Crates of all sizes are assembled from graying barn boards into this functional and quirky storage unit. Shelves adjust naturally by fitting smoothly into the slatted crates. Locally sourced steel base and casters add versatility and industrial charm.

Our inventory of reclaimed barn doors and sliding factory doors inspired us to create our own sliding barn door media and/or storage cabinet. Industrial steel tracks and roller systems allow doors to glide smoothly and effortlessly. The doors themselves are made from reclaimed bar siding and the cabinet is trimmed with reclaimed pine floor joist material.

Pecan Factory Slab Table

Balloon Drop

Aside from the part where you have to blow up enough balloons to nearly pass right out, this is the perfect celebration element for a New Year’s party. I thought these instructions were the best I found. Of course, you can always go with the ready made kits like the one pictured above, which is for sale at Target or any number of other retailers this time of year.

These are a few of my favorite ideas for enjoying my kid’s school break. Maybe we won’t do all of them, but doing just a couple of them will make great memories for our friends and us.

Confetti Cake

Because cake is how you know it’s a party (and any gathering without a cake is just a meeting), confetti cake – or piñata cake – is the way to go for a New Year’s bash. I think it would be fun to paint a big “12:00” or “2014” on it with icing!

DIY Photo Booth

EVERYONE has a phone/ camera phone these days. And we love taking photos. Surf the web for fun ideas to DIY a photo booth at home. You need only a small designated space. Then do something as simple as running streamers from the ceiling and provide a basket with printable photo booth props.

Each January, roughly one in three Americans resolve to better themselves in some way. A much smaller percentage of people actually make good on those resolutions. While about 75% of people stick to their goals for at least a week, less than half (46%) are still on target six months later, a 2002 study found.

It's hard to keep up the enthusiasm months after you've swept up the confetti, but it's not impossible. This year, pick one of the following worthy resolutions, and stick with it. Here’s to your health!

Most popular new year's resolutions, but most important is stay true always.

• Lose Weight

• Volunteer to Help Others

• Quit Smoking

• Get a Better Education

• Get a Better Job

• Save Money

• Get Fit

• Eat Healthy Food

• Manage Stress

• Manage Debt

• Take a Trip

• Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle

Vegan Holiday Cookies

I found some great cookies that Ava Rose would enjoy making that are vegan friendly and good for kids with an egg intolerance. Ava Rose loved making the gingerbread men or women as she called them! 

Gingerbread Men/Women Cookies 
(Gluten Free Vegan)

gingerbread cookies

• 2 3/4 cups Sarah's gluten free flour blend
  
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/2 cups organic powdered sugar
• 1/4 cup molasses
• 1/3 cup coconut oil, soft
• 1/4 cup So Delicious unsweetened coconut milk, room temperature
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract

simple icing

• 2 1/2 cups organic powdered sugar
• 2-3 tablespoons So Delicious unsweetened coconut milk

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line baking sheets with parchment paper. In medium bowl, sift together flour blend, cinnamon, ginger, baking powder and salt. Set aside. In bowl of stand mixer, beat together powdered sugar, molasses, coconut oil, coconut milk and vanilla until smooth. Add flour mixture and continue to mix for 1-2 minutes. Use hands to knead dough until it comes together. Form into two discs and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate dough for 1 hour. 

On counter, lay out large piece of plastic wrap. Place one disc of cookie dough in the center and top with another piece of plastic wrap. Roll with rolling pin until dough is about 1/4" thick. Cut dough using gingerbread man cookie cutter or desired shape. Carefully place cookies on prepared baking sheets (place dough back in refrigerator if it gets too soft to work with). Bake for 7-8 minutes. Do NOT over bake, as cookies won't turn golden brown. Remove cookies from oven and place on cooling rack to cool completely.

While cookies are cooling, make simple icing. Mix together powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons coconut milk. Stir until smooth. Add more coconut milk as needed. Place glaze in piping bag with round tip. Pipe onto cooled cookies.

2. In a large bowl, cream together the earth balance and sugar. Then beat in the egg-replacer, vanilla, maple and non-dairy milk.
3. Stir the dry into the wet and gradually add enough remaining flour until the dough is stiff enough to roll out. 
4. Form the dough into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap and chill for at least 1 hour. 
5. Preheat the oven to 375º and roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/8" thickness.
