Turn Your Marriage Keepsakes Into Meaningful Decor For Your Home
Love makes a house into a home, and finding ways to express those emotions through decor only amplifies the comfort of a space. Marriage keepsakes are a perfect example of items you can decorate with to amplify warmth and familial ties. Rather than just looking to repurpose wedding decor into your home, consider using the official documents from your union as well. Transforming these meaningful papers into art takes the legality of your union and illuminates the love at its core. Hanging proof of your big day isn't a new concept. The Ketubah, a Jewish marriage contract, has been traditionally hung in the home for millennia. They signify a couple's bond and obligations to one another. Historically, Ketubot were decorated, making them more than just a legal promise, but a public announcement of partnership. This same beautiful sentiment can be achieved with any wedding keepsake from any faith or background, including your license or certificate. All you need is a little creativity and a few products to protect the integrity of your document. Read more: How To Style 12 Of The Most Common Items You'll Find At Thrift Stores In Your Home There are plenty of ways to make this romantic project a reality, and you aren't the only one doing so. Even big names in the design world are drawn to the emotional side of decor. For example, Joanna Gaines' method of displaying sentimental items is beautiful and functional: She takes things like Polaroid snaps and signed baseballs and puts them into a "memory bowl" to decorate as a reminder of the love in her space. You're doing just that with your new marriage art. To get started, you'll need a few items, including a pretty (or not so pretty) frame at your local thrift store, an acid-free glue like Mod Podge, metallic wax like Rub n Buff, a piece of material, and scissors. With these tools in hand, you're ready to start. Remove the existing artwork from your thrifted frame, and wrap it in the fabric to use as a background. Use the glue to smooth everything in place and let it dry completely, trimming excess fabric. Place your marriage keepsake on the material and lay the glass pane on top, securing it in place. Brush gold or brass wax on the frame for some highlight color. For a less formal look, use a plain frame instead, creating a whimsical border by cutting a rectangle from foam board and hot gluing faux flowers to it. However you personalize the frame, mat, or background, preserving the integrity of the wedding keepsake itself is key. As you elevate your home decor with personal touches from your wedding, be sure to retain the integrity of any legal documents used. While hanging your marriage license should absolutely top the ultimate guide to romantic decor, it also serves an important function. This, and other wedding documents, prove the legality of your bond with your spouse, rights involving future estate planning, and even govern things like shared medical benefits. You may need it down the road for legal issues regarding children, name changes, or divorce, so it's best to keep it legible and valid. The best way to ensure your wedding papers stay true to form is to not tamper with the document. Instead of decorating the item itself, add decorations like faux flowers, lace trim, or paint to a frame. Wait for any glue or ink to dry completely before mounting the contract (nonpermanently) inside. You could even have a copy made and use that for hanging, rather than the original. This is such a beautiful way to personalize your living area and truly transform a house into a home. Just make sure to do it carefully, so you can use your keepsakes again later.

Fascinating Balkan Cuisine In Chicago At Ambar
Dining room at Ambar, Chicago When the worst thing I can say about a restaurant is that the print on the menu is too small, you know I enjoyed an excellent experience. That's the situation at Ambar, a new (opened in April) restaurant in Chicago's River North area. This is the newest location for this chain, which has restaurants in a few US cities, including Arlington, VA and Washington, D.C.; there are also locations in Belgrade, Serbia. That may seen like an unusual assortment of locations, except when you consider that Ambar specializes in Balkan cuisine. What is Balkan cuisine? Well at Ambar, that includes several choices of pita bread, soups such as Veal and Carrot Ginger, Almond Fried Chicken and several items from their wood burning oven and plenty of enticing vegetables such as Eggplant Moussaka and Fried Zucchini. Smoked sausage at Ambar, Chicago What is Balkan cuisine? Well, I'm not sure after one meal that I can describe it in great detail, but I definitely like it. It's a wide range of dishes, none of which are overly spicy, but with a distinct tang), but almost all of them being vibrant, delicious and rather distinctive. I asked executive chef Nikola Stefanovic, who was born and raised in Belgrade, Serbia, what the goal of his hospitality team and he was in creating the menu and atmosphere of Ambar. 'Our goal was to reimagine traditional Balkan cuisine through a modern lens, showcasing the region's rich flavors, diverse influences, and vibrant hospitality. It's an honor to bring this unique culinary perspective to life in a way that feels both authentic and exciting for today's diner.' A few highlights from my meal: to start, Kajmak, a traditional Balkan creamy milk spread and the White Bean hummus are excellent when spread on the house pita bread, as is the Beet Tzatziki, a beet yogurt dish with garlic and dill - this last spread gets my vote for a signature food dish at Ambar. Carrot Ginger Soup was rich, but not overly so and offered an explosion of flavors, as it is topped with sunflower seeds and cilantro - here is another can't miss dish. I was a bit disappointed with the Roasted Baby Carrots in a passionfruit glaze, as the carrots, which were quite flavorful were a bit rough and seemed overcooked. This is a side dish, so opt instead for Grilled Asparagus or Fried Zucchini, this last option served with a bell pepper yogurt dipping sauce. As for main courses, naturally there is Beef Kebab as well as Chicken Skewers and a tantalizing plate of Smoked Pork Sausage, served with mustard and red cabbage slaw. For heartier plates, go with the Roasted Lamb - perfectly cooked, the Pork Belly Stuffed Cabbage or the Grilled Rainbow Trout. Finish with a dessert such as Warm Brownie Skillet, a collection of three sorbet - lemon curd, plum and mango; each is very flavorful and quite rich, while never being overdone; these are not the typical sorbet you'd find at an Italian restaurant; as this is Balkan cuisine, they shouldn't be. Well done to the kitchen team! The beverage program is first-rate with a wide variety of cocktails as well as an impressive selection of wines from Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia & Herzegovina Slovenia and Greece; the array of wines is impressive from Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Plavac Mali (similar to a California Zinfandel) to a Xinomavro (one of Greece's best reds) and choice of orange Pinot Grigios. Most of these selections are priced in the $40-55 range, which is nice to see these days, rather than the seemingly typical $100 and up bottles at too many city restaurants. House glass pours are $7, which is very reasonable and welcome for most diners these days. A special tip of the cap to the person or persons that assembled this wine program - they did their homework! Finally, if you dare, try a Rakia, a typical brandy of Balkan nations; choices include pear, apple, plum and apricot. The flavors are spot on, but keep in mind that these Rakia check in a around 40% alcohol - enjoy sparingly! The room is large, bright and cheerfully decorated (see above photo) and our server was very informative and attentive without checking back every few minutes to see if we were okay. I always appreciate service that's helpful without being overbearing, and this young woman was ultra professional. For a restaurant that's only been open about two months, I am very impressed on so many levels. You'll see diners in their 20s and 30s, as well as many in their 50s and 60s. Ambar has something unique for all tastes. Highly recommended Ambar 700 N. Clark Street, Chicago Open every day for lunch and dinner

Video: ‘Lonely' Puppy Invites Owner To Spend Time With Him on the Sofa
If you thought only toddlers could throw silent tantrums, you clearly haven't met a clingy canine. For some pups, physical closeness isn't just preferred, it's mandatory. One Vizsla puppy has now become the poster pup for all needy dogs, thanks to a video that perfectly captures the drama of being left alone on a sofa. Otis, a young Vizsla, has won over Instagram users with his gentle and adorably 'dramatic' appeal for attention. In the video, Otis is seen sitting alone on the couch, giving his mom a long, almost heartbroken look. His body language makes it clear: he is not mad, just disappointed. 'Are you sitting on the couch all alone?' his owner asks while recording the moment. Otis responds with a series of soft, whiny coos, like he is trying to tell her exactly how he feels. The video also includes captions imagining what Otis might be thinking: 'I'm lonely, mom,' and 'Hurry up, woman, I need pets.' Otis's over-the-top pout had the internet in stitches. 'Sweetie puppy just needs some attention,' one person wrote, clearly sympathizing with the little guy's plea for affection. Another added some contrast with humor, saying, 'Meanwhile, my dog karate kicks me away when I try to cuddle.' One Vizsla owner chimed in, 'I love the CONSTANT cuddles as much as my Vizsla does.' This moment isn't surprising for anyone familiar with the breed. Often referred to as 'Velcro dogs,' Vizslas are known for their deeply affectionate nature and desire to stay physically close to their humans. They thrive on companionship and can become anxious or unsettled if left alone for too long. Originally bred as hunting dogs, their close working relationship with humans has translated into a constant need for contact in family life.
