Thank you Martha Stewart for posting this article, with how-to included on making French Macarons! I’ve been really wanting to try making these and what better way than under Martha’s direction?

Thanking Martha for this little gem too. Instructions for Marbling fabric. I’ve loved the paper but being able to marble fabric would be amazing!

I kind of  like this HGTV idea of making shelves out of old crates. I LOVE the idea of painting the inside with fabulous color! I’m totally down to try this one out.

I love a cute cake plate and even have an old one I bought from Princess House a hundred years ago. I’m thinking about using a pretty glass spray paint to make it as cute as one of these.

So, here is the big news. Steve is retiring in about 3 years and my plans to improve my home is now turning into building a house somewhere away from where we are living right now. We’ve been searching Zillow for hours and hours trying to decide where to go. My thought is to stop investing in our home and start planning what to do in our new home. So, the tear sheets are turning into house plans. As long as I’m looking, what do you think about this brick wall! I think brick is so sweet and love it with white wood and soft fabrics. I die.
