Gift Guide for Martha Stewart by Black Eiffel

 Love this gift guide by Black Eiffel for Martha Stewart.  

I'm very excited that Modern Palm was included!  

Our Kobo candles are not your average candle you can find anywhere... 

these soy based candles have a remarkable scent that you 

won't experience anywhere else.

They make the perfect gift! 

You can skip the wrapping since the packaging is just down-right fresh and beautiful.

Thanks to Black Eiffel for including Modern Palm!

Paint, Paint, & more Paint

I have paint on my mind quite a bit lately.  I am 99% sure on what I want to paint the kitchen.  

I KNOW that I am painting it a slate blue, however, I'm just trying to finalize which slate blue. 

I have a fun eggplant color I'd like to paint my bathroom mirror, 

and a fun green color I'd like to paint the kids bathroom mirror.  

I'm also thinking of painting horizontal stripes in the entry and hallway.  Can't wait to get going on these projects... now, it's all about finding the time to accomplish the projects. 

I'm trying to update the house a bit, and I'm finding that paint is a cheap and fun way 

to use what you have and freshen things up a bit.  I've been looking through magazines, 

books, and online trying to get ideas.  

Here are a few great ideas that I enjoyed from Martha Stewart.

I love this banquette and emerald green back ground in the shelves.  Notice the blue plates... 

those are the Iittala Taika Designed dinnerware by Finish artist, Klaus Haapaniemi.  

I just adore the imaginative and unique design.  

In fact, I love this storytelling dinnerware so much that I have included it in my  

Modern Palm  Boutique.

So, back to paint. 

I love yellow and I'm loving this collage of frames all painted different shades of yellow.

Another color I'm debating is black.  I'm so tempted to use black in my entry, 

solid or in the stripes. I'm also tempted to use it in my bedroom. I love the classy bold statement.

I like the idea of using your old headboard, but just sprucing it up with a beautiful color.  

A few more ways to involve a fresh coat of paint. On old file cabinets, on a wood floor, on old storage baskets, or an old dresser. I'm all about color!

Too die for!

Half a table and find a new life for it, make your own carpet runner,

make your own small chairs, and brighten up a vintage console.

Love all of these ideas from Martha Stewart. 

I hope everyone has a wonderful and safe Labor Day weekend!  

Any fun plans? I think I may work on a few projects...

Martha Stewart + Divine Twine + Modern Palm

 Divine Twine, the divine baker's twine, was featured in Martha Stewart Living magazine.

How exciting! Where to get this versatile twine?

Modern Palm carries Divine Twine in the many divine colors.

This is not your regular bakers twine! 

Great care has been taken in creating the eco-luxe Divine Twine.

It's made from 100% cotton so it's soft to the touch, bio-degradable and earth-friendly.
Plus the 4-ply construction makes it nice and strong.
It's produced in the USA in mouth-watering colors that look good enough to eat.
Each spool contains 240 yards, enough to last you a long time, yet easy to store.
favors or product packaging.

"What does one do with baker's twine?"
you ask...
Use it for:
wrapping gifts, packages, favors, or products
beautifying a lunch or picnic
 adding a little more love to baked goods or any food
adding some unique fun to crafts
specializing your scrap booking
spicing up an invitation
fancy up a party...
the possibilities are endless! 

 

 

I love this stuff!  It is so cute and there are so many creative ways to use it.

I'm thinking I'd love to pack a picnic wrapping and labeling the food using Divine Twine.

Wouldn't that be just divine! :)

Hope everyone had a fabulous weekend!  Isn't summer the best?
We had our annual friend backyard camp out summer soiree.  It was incredibly fun! 
Pictures to come in a bit...
