Favorite Craft Magazine: Now with Supplement Issue

Posted in Crafts, Cuisine at 1:07 pm by rachel

My favorite craft magazine, the quarterly Marie Claire Idées, has a beautiful supplement issue out right now about kitchen decoration. Now, I may 1) rent, 2) not have a ton of counter space, or 3) have the best appliances (is that a toaster oven? My poor cakes and tarts…), but this issue has inspired me to personalize some aspects of daily kitchen life. For example:

~ turn girly, flowery flea-market plates and tea cups into a stacked serving tray

~ choose a classic red-and-white decor, inspired by the classic French kitchen dishcloth (growing up, my granny’s kitchen had red and white checks everywhere – cheerful!)

~ turn antique silverware (inexpensive, miss-matched pieces) into hooks for various gadgets and towels

Best of all, it comes with the cutest little blank notebook for recipes! Ah, life’s simple pleasures…
