i do aspire to marthaness…

Well, not in the mean, rip-roaring tantrum because you tried to use parmesan in a shaker instead of freshly ground parmigiano reggiano Martha. I meant the other one that smiles on camera and produces lovely things for one’s home. I fancy trying to take after some of her decorating goodness every now and then.

And I found this idea in a magazine and just had to give it a try. I’m pretty happy with how it came out.

And I built myself a little nest, thanks to Pottery Barn and cashed in reward points from the Chase card. In case you’re wondering, this is where I am happiest blogging and scrapping and designing stuff. Don’t you love that little botanical lamp sitting on my nesting tables? Normally, it would be a little more cluttered with books and a wine glass, but I tried to clean up for you.

    I love that photo collage? Crap, I’m so not domestic, I don’t even know what that’s called. LOL. You have a gorgeous family. REALLY gorgeous.

    I love your collage too. Okay, so I’ll be checking back for a step-by-step guide, m’kay? I need it with photos if you don’t mind. I have about 1,894 family photos on my wall and I’m hankering for ONE more. This is what I’d pick!

    [...] you asked… I’ve had some posts and emails asking how I made the collage on my living room wall. It’s really quite easy, but it took me some trial and error, and a [...]

    I adore that nest. I’m already superimposed my body onto that comfy chair and started blogging. I hope you don’t mind my imaginary intrusion. I’ll give the chair back soon.
