Payday Candy Bar Copycat

I have been looking for a copycat recipe for Payday candy bars forever.  I have tried a few and had some pretty awful results.  Think big pan of runny stuff that never hardened into anything you could cut into bars.  But I have finally found one that turned out beautifully.  Jennifer from Bake or Break has a great recipe that I am gobbling up as we speak.  
Plently of nuts and a sweet salty nugget center that holds it shape pretty well.  So yummy.

Modern Farmhouse Guest Bath

Last month we decided to change things up a bit by updating our upstairs guest bath.  Out went the pale pink paint and way too short pedestal sink and in went a soft gray paint and simple taller pedestal sink.
 We also replaced the vanity light and mirror.  My husband built the solid wood linen closet door.
He also built a floating shelf above the toilet.
I made the sign for the shelf.  A little unexpected humor is always welcomed.

Updated Fireplace

This past weekend my husband updated the ugly green tile surround on our fireplace to a pleasing grey stacked marble stone with a raised hearth.  I have hated that green tile for 15 years.
 It took two days and some real problem solving to accomplish but I love the results.

 We used a marble look tile on the hearth.
In case you were doubting how ugly the old tile was, take a look at the before.  Why did people ever like this color?
