Have you been looking for the perfect nude polish with a hint of color? Well, look no more! The color is Pound Cake by essie. (Now I’m second guessing myself, maybe it’s Angel Food. Nonetheless, it’s one of the two.) I wonder if Amy was inspired by this polish?

My intern and friend, Amy Maddry, is so fun and creative. On the weekends, she helps her mom, a floral designer, with weddings and such. Look at this gorgeous candy table she styled for a lucky bride….

Did you notice the pearls?

There have been a few times random sporadic moments, usually 11 p.m. or later, when I wanted to organize and couldn’t wait for custom shelving. When one of these sudden cleaning tangents occurs, I need the tools to accessorize and I need them now! I’m guilty of running to Target, Walmart or Office Depot (ok, really all of them, and whatever is closest to the home or office) to find those dreaded put-it-together-your-own-self bookcases. In case you’re wondering, I’m the handy one around the house. I have a secret tool stash in an un-named location (you D.I.Y.’ers know what I’m talking about), and it’s not the pink set. Although, I would love one of those. So if any member of my family is reading this, that would be a fab present. Oh, if you can find pink with rhinestones, that would be an added bonus. My family is forbidden to buy me presents, including my husband. Well, one of my identical twin sisters is allowed – more on this later – let’s just say she got the design gene. I said all that to say…Look what I found in a magazine today!!!

I know just the bookshelf that needs a little TLC!  I found the article in the Woman’s Day Special Interest magazine. You basically wrap foam-core board with fabric, wallpaper, or wrapping paper. Use spray adhesive to adhere to foam-core and hot glue the foam-core to the shelves, with perhaps a little adhesive tape too. The directions say spray one side of the foam-core with spray adhesive, but we quickly learned in Design School to spray both the thing you’re attaching and the thing you’re attaching to… let dry, then stick together proves the best results. If you try it first, let me know!
