    Oh dear, I just made the mistake of looking at the Martha Stewart website :( I now have about fifty tabs open with amazing crafty projects and gorgeous looking stuff, and household tips. If you don't hear from me for a week or two, you know what I'm doing :rotfl:

    Lovely website. I love this bedroom on Martha Stewart, so pretty.

    Love the mirror thriftkitten

    Also noticed you can order 5 of the same wallpaper as a sample if you want to use the same pattern to cover something. Lovely find.
