Cute Idea!

I thought this was a cute idea from this month's issue of Country Living Magazine. If you generally start your seeds indoors in the spring this may be a great new way to do it.  The nice thing is: no waste you can just gently break up the shell and plant it too.

Out on a "limb"

Country Living Magazine's October issue had a cute fall idea for your bookshelf. I loved it and thought I would share with you

Just think of the possibilities, you could do white pumpkins and black branches or 

black pumpkins with white branches, or any other way your creative minds can imagine.

For complete "how to" see the October issue

Thanks for visiting to day I hope  your day is blessed.

Paint or Wallpaper?

If you have seen the recent issue of Country Living Magazine then you probably have seen this:

Country Living Magazine Photo
Sept 2010 issue
What caught my attention about this photo was the wall design. With the resurgence of wallpaper, I am often drawn to different wall treatments. Upon further inspection, I found that this is not wallpaper but paint. No it is not a stencil either. It is painted on with a special paint roller  that is unique in it's make up.

It is designed by a company called rollerwall.com 
They have many designs and styles available and a how to guide as well. I have not used this product but as far as I can tell, it looks like you saturate the foam roller with your paint then snap on the patterned roller. As you use the roller it picks up the color and distributes the design on to your wall.The article in CL magazine did say that one should practice a few times on paper before applying to the wall
Just look at some of the patterns available and remember these are just patterns you can use any color you like!


If you are not a wallpaper fan, but appreciate pattern on your walls, this may be an option for you. Let me know your thoughts and if any of you have used this product.
