If you get creative, transforming old pieces to new can be really rewarding. Besides being super useful, re-purposed items can become even better than they were before. And being environmentally friendly doesn’t hurt either. To help inspire you and get you started, we’ve up-cycled one of our Christmas projects. We originally made this faux marble deer head back in November and the first step here is to make it too – that is if you haven’t done it already! Find the instructions here. Finished? Great! Onto the next steps for a brand new faux deer head … All you’ll need for this transformation is a glue gun and an assortment of flowers. Decide on your layout and then start gluing the flowers into place. And that’s all it takes! With the flowers, this newly flowered deer head is ideal for bedrooms and nurseries but could really fit in anywhere.

]]> Soft and Sweet Lemon Scone Cookies https://www.andthenhome.com/soft-and-sweet-lemon-scone-cookies/ Mon, 09 Apr 2018 05:21:41 +0000 https://www.andthenhome.com/?p=3073 The perfect weekend morning is a lazy one. Sitting in my pj’s (possibly still in bed…) with a book, some coffee and a soft, sweet scone. Really I can stretch these mornings on into the afternoon, if I get lucky.  My favourite scones of all time are these Lemon Scone Cookies. I call them cookies because I like to add pudding mix to the recipe, it adds a ton of flavour and keeps the scones super soft. It also makes them a bit dense instead of being light and dry like a traditional scone. They are the perfect thing to serve at bridal and baby showers. Your guests will begging for the recipe. And the best part of all? These are the easiest scones to make. Trust me, you’ll be done in no time. These scones taste great with the glaze on top, but you can certainly serve them with much more.  Fresh fruit or compotes, lemon curd, clotted or whipped cream or simply powdered sugar are all perfect options. To reheat a scone you could put them in the over at 300F for about 5-10 min or place them right into the microwave. Perfect for breakfast and dessert. No trips to the bakery, simple ingredients makes for easy baking! Enjoy! Pro Tip: You can make these scones any flavour you like by switching out the pudding mix – pistachio, strawberry or orange are all great options. We hope you liked this lemon scone cookies recipe as much as we do!  If you’re looking for a dinner to complement these cookies certainly take a look at The Ultimate Summer Dinner Recipe Ideas .
