DIY Floral Arrangement: Magnolias and More, with Emily Thompson

There's no need to keep your flower buying and partying separate. Stems in Brooklyn can provide both.

We appreciate this tiny Salt Spring Island cabin kitchen for being both supremely simple and stylishly kitted out.

Don’t be fooled by sweet alyssum’s dainty appearance. While this petite flower—often found in cottage gardens—looks delicate and charming, it was once thought powerful enough to treat bites from rabid animals.

Tasi Masi is a recently opened on-line store offering a collection of handmade pieces inspired by natural beauty. We're particularly taken by the concrete planters.

No leaking roofs, broken windows, or flooded basements here: this is a cabin for people who don't like surprises.

Spring is the time for pastels to shine in the garden, but this week the editors at Remodelista demonstrate that there are plenty of reasons to bring the soft colors inside, too.

When it comes to planning meals, I'm a fairly firm believer that the emphasis should be on the food. Everything else feels like distraction. But when holidays and guests and springtime are involved, I can't help but put just a little energy into tabletop decorations. At Easter, one of my favorite ways to brighten a table quickly is with fresh forsythia branches.
