DIY Herb Garden

So I think I’m going to give this a shot! I’m over buying rosemary, thyme, and sage every week and the grocery store and am ready for a little greenery/something living in my apartment. Has anyone done this? Do you have any pointers? -AI

25 Clever Ideas to Make Life Easier

A lot of these ideas are pretty familiar, but still some very clever solutions I had never heard of! I actually just folded my fitted sheet into a messy roll tonight, so I could definitely use some tips on that. Not sure I have the patience, but I can at least give it a whirl!

Just found out that a good friend’s (Nate’s best man. Their joint bachelor party was actually held here) parent’s house just north of Milwaukee is on the cover of a new book about the The Architecture of Margaret McCurry. Cool! The house is totally rad and is indeed covered in aluminum siding and primary colors. It was their dream house and the kitchen is absolutely to-die for, with sweeping views of Lake Michigan. What would your dream house look like, girls? Love, Nik

Um, I am pretty sure these are the cutest whisks I have ever seen. I should probably add them to the Gift Guide, but I think I’m going to have to go out and get some for myself, stat. My kitchen could use a little cuteness! Love, Nik

Lining Lampshades with Metallic Paper

I am not especially adept at DIY projects nor do I have any lamps with lampshades but I thought this was an interesting way to spice up some cheapo lampshades. Would be curious to see what it does to the light when the lamp is on? Love, Nik
