Pin It Weekly #222

Dry-brining is a foolproof method that gives you tender, flavorful turkey every time. This recipe, infused with the flavors of garlic, lemon and thyme, is guaranteed to get raves as the centerpiece on your holiday table.Happy Pin It Weekly. Have you begun your countdown to Thanksgiving? What about your countdown to Christmas? I've started preparing for Thanksgiving because the entire Marcotte clan will be here for lunch. Our boys and their wives and children. The in-laws and their other son. Perhaps even a nephew and his family.


In other words I'll be prepping and cooking for a couple of days. Oh, did I mention that my oven doesn't work? It doesn't. It doesn't turn on. Or heat up. Or cook. Or anything else, except store things. It might work as a place to hide Christmas gifts. Just kidding. We don't need the fire hazard.

Roasting your thanksgiving turkey in a countertop roaster oven can simplify preparation by freeing up the oven for side dishes. Cook times and instructions for roasting meats and...
So I will cook creatively. Using two electric ovens that sit on the countertop. They are very much like the one in this photo. Mine can easily hold a turkey. I have no idea what the borrowed oven can do. I'll figure that out when it arrives. 

A former student MacKenzie has a sweet little board with ideas for a gallery wall. I really need to think about putting something on our walls. We painted two years ago and I have not hung even one item yet. My husband has a phobia of nail holes, I guess. He absolutely insists on these bare gray walls. It's time for an intervention. 

Hi friends... Just added a few fresh touches to our master bedroom gallery wall; loving the newest one from Patti @thesimplyinspiredshop. I love to find pieces that flow well together; have good textures, shapes and colors, but most importantly, reflect my life, style and personality! My favorite story is, of course my family and how I met my husband... A blind date; it's such a unique and fun story to tell. Sharing your story though pictures and gallery walls is a creative way to pers...


This super cool wall art is actually painted ceiling medallions #hgtvmagazine http://www.hgtv.com/walls-doors-and-floors/7-ways-to-fill-up-your-walls/pictures/page-3.html?soc=pinterestMail - Laura Cross - OutlookBrilliant 25 Creative Gallery Wall Ideas and Photos for 2017 https://decoratio.co/2017/09/19/25-creative-gallery-wall-ideas-photos-2017/ Perhaps it was the simple fact which I moved nearly annually. It's much less hokey as it sounds. It is possible to observe the way that it turned out here. It is possible to go crazy if you wish to! You might already have everything.

So proud of my gallery wall! Found all of the decor at Hobby Lobby! Bench was my great grandmothers that chalk painted and distressed. Pillows under $3 on eBay. Blanket from my local dollar general.Paul Smith Store Wall design that I've been wanting to do at home for ages.

That nursery gallery wall is so gorgeous!

A gathering of white frames in different sizes and shapes.Using all the same frames on your gallery wall can give it a neat and organized look. LOVE that rustic / pallet bench too! Gallery wall ideas for your foyer.


So this is what a few of us have been pinning. I love the idea of incorporating different elements into a wall of portraits, but I am also insistent that those elements have meaning. Sure the items in places like Hobby Lobby or Kirklands are interesting and beautiful, but they are not a part of my family's story. And so rather than put something--anything--on the wall, I've put nothing.

Adding shelves to the mix when creating gallery walls creates a more exciting and diversified look!

Marvelous 25 Creative Gallery Wall Ideas and Photos for 2017 https://decoratio.co/2017/09/19/25-creative-gallery-wall-ideas-photos-2017/ Perhaps it was the simple fact which I moved nearly annually. It's much less hokey as it sounds. It is possible to observe the way that it turned out here. It is possible to go crazy if you wish to! You might already have everything.It's beginning to bug me that I'm giving a different impression: that my family doesn't have a story. Wow! The idea is so far from real life that I've decided it's going to be our intervention theme. It might scare Richard enough to drive the nails (stick the Command hooks)  himself. 


Find these pins and other on my "gallery, wall" Pinterest board. Do you have a gallery wall? What are some of the items you've incorporated?

I love the ceiling roses in the second photo! Great collection of ideas but that's my favourite.
