Oh, Barnes and Noble. How I love thee....




One of my favorite pastimes is going to Barnes and Noble.  I could stay there all day reading.  There's nothing like it!  Today, I checked out a couple of books I have been eyeing on the internet.  I'm definitely adding Young House Love to my collection! I don't think there are any words to express how much I love the Petersiks.  They are hilarious.  If you don't know (shame on you!), they are a 30-something married couple that are the King and Queen of DIY.  They have a blog, also titled Young House Love.  They are my "go to" source for DIY inspiration.

I also had a chance to check out Design Sponge at Home.  I'm so late to the game people.  The book has been out a couple of years.  However, I see why so many people have it.  The cover alone is BANANAS.

What books do you guys recommend?

Welcome to The Steel City Life!

Hey Ladies and Gents!

My name is Andrea.  I'd like to welcome you to The Steel City Life!  This blog will be about my current obsessions: Home decor, beauty products, and food.  Since this is my first post, I'm supposed to talk about why I started this blog, and what I plan on posting.  How can I explain this? I love blogs.  I love reading them.  I love discovering new ones.  It just made sense for me to create one.  I hope you get as much joy out of reading The Steel City Life as I will get writing it.


Thanks in advance!
