400 yr old french cottage renovation

i just spent an hour reading this wonderful blog, StephModo…
in a nutshell, a California couple on a whim puts in a lowball offer on a 400 yr old stone cottage. It is located in southern France and rests atop an enchanting Medieval village! the offer is accepted and the blog follows their journey to France and the renovation.

One of my fav. posts is about her daughter’s school lunches!

the gorgeous, renovated bathroom. you can see the rest of the before and after photos here

Japanese decorative tape

have you ever seen/used Japanese MT Tape? it is made from “Washi” (rice) paper and it is removable…
it can be used for all manner of things – sticking things and writing messages on walls, fancy/thrifty/quirky gift wrapping and card making, fixing the broken remote control back, and the list goes on and on but it really does allow you to be creative and add little personal touches to wrapping and other things.

i am off to buy some right now!
