Chelsey’s Top 5 Breakfast Places In Folsom
May 3rd, 2010
I love breakfast. The only meal I love more than breakfast is brunch, so I’m always on the lookout for good places to get a great breakfast. Here’s a list of my favorite five:
1. Karen’s Bakery
705 Gold Lake Drive #340, Folsom, CA 95630
Breakfast Hours: M-F, 6-11am, Sat 7-noon
A Folsom staple, Karen’s Bakery offers a huge selection of homemade baked goods and breakfasts. My recommendation is the Granola with Vanilla Yogurt and Fresh Berries, although it’s hard to go wrong with much on the menu. Slightly pricy and certainly not a traditional breakfast (they only serve eggs scrambled), Karen’s has a gourmet feel and plenty of charm. They even have great coffee and espresso drinks!

Thanks Chris, Tom and Chelsey for all you do! The office is a better place because of you!
7 Days of Updates for Less – Day 7!

And finally…
Day 7: CONSIDER CURB APPEAL
Make the most of your home’s appearance without breaking the bank. You can add value and appeal to your home with just a few simple ideas. While repainting your whole house may be out of the question, painting the door and retouching the trim can give your entire house a face lift.
7 Days of Updates for Less – Day 6

Day 6: DE-CLUTTER AND CREATE STORAGE
Old and historic houses are notorious for their lack of closet space. If you have cramped storage areas, add do-it-yourself wire and laminate closet systems to bedrooms, pantries and entry closets. Companies such as ClosetMaid allow you to measure and redesign your closets online. You can also get design details and parts for these systems at many large home-improvement stores, like Home Depot. Most closets can be updated in a weekend or less. In the end, your closets will be more functional while you’re living in the house and will make your home look more customized to potential buyers if you ever decide to sell.
