100+ degrees in the south marks Blueberries and South Carolina Peaches.  Soooooooooooo good!!!!  There is nothing better than Peach and Blueberry Cobbler for July 4th.  I am a fan of peachy, blueberryie, bready goodness. 

Peach Blueberry Cobbler

3 cups of peaches

1 1/2 cups of blueberries

 (peaches cut up placed in a greased casserole dish along with the blueberries)

 sprinkle with sugar and cinnamen)

Topping

2 cups of flour

1 1/4 cup of sugar

1 1/2 cups of milk (maybe a little more)

1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder

dash of salt

3 tablespoons of melted butter

stir all ingredients until smooth pour over peaches and blueberries.   Drizzle melted butter over the top. Bake in 350 degree oven until bubbly and just browning.

Take out serve with icecream.  YUMMY JULY GOODNESS.

( I would post a picture of the result, but as of posting it is still in the oven....it smells OH SO GOOD!

A funny story about this recipe...the summer when I was 15 I babysat for a family who made this peach cobbler. Something about the breading and peaches...I had NEVER.   I gobbled it down (the kids got very little), She gave me the recipe, and I made it all summer long.  I have been known to make individual peach cobblers just pour moi.  Along with individual rice krispy treats but that is another story....

Ever since that summer, I have LOVED Peach Cobbler.

It is really easy to do in small batches...once you know the taste you can make it for 1 or 100.   I started putting the blueberries in when I had run out of peaches one year and HAD to have my cobbler...the rest, is history. 

HAPPY 4th of JULY WEEKEND.

Drab to FAB!

I know, I KNOW.... you have waited long enough.   Drumroll please.....My dear friends, here is the Drab to Fab Studio in DCity!

Please Note: These photos were taken before I started blogging, so the staging is not the best (and I know that!)  I was just snapping "look what we accomplished photos".  Plus I was exhausted,(2 sleepness nights on a futon) AND my fingers hurt from upholstering, and putting together an entire apartment full of furniture!!!!, It really is a miracle  that I  took photos at all!  Oh, and did I mention this was all done right after the DC Snowmagedden??? That accounts for the white glare out of the window...all SNOW!  2 feet of snow everywhere!


As always, there are a few things I would change or move around, I don't think anything is ever REALLY finished...but I think an awesome result nontheless.


TADA!
DRAB TO FAB!

 Isn't that rug so gorgeous???.  The turquoise, burnt orange, and brown...this set the tone for the whole design.  Vintage, modern with contemporary twist, I THINK SO! 

The orchid is a nice little bit of green, (I love orchids in any space, and contrary to popular belief they are not THAT hard to keep alive.)  Every home needs a little bit of life, REAL flowers or plants are a necessity! 

There are a couple of things that were not accomplished.  I left these things up to my sis to finish. Including a stripe down the wall as you enter the apartment. 


This project was accomplished by Erin on a rainy weekend day...and I have to say it does look great. The wall was such a blank expansive space, it ties it all together, infuses a bit of color without being too garish.

I have to say it was such a fun weekend, and if I could do this ALL the time I would be one happy mamma!  I will have to work on that:) 

The kitchen, eating area, and bath are for the next weekend in DCity...I CAN'T WAIT!
