The new “in” color according to Pantone is Marsala.  What do you think of it?  I like it in this clutch from Burberry.

This week’s celebrity home features Reese Witherspoon’s home in Ojai, California via HGTV’s Front Door.  The home was built in 1923 and has a Spanish flair.  I love the beamed ceilings in the great room.  Enjoy these sixteen pictures.

How to stuff a Duvet Cover

This was so intriguing I had to share.  Have you ever struggled with placing your duvet inside a duvet cover?  OMG, it was always a difficult task, so much so that I got away from the duvet cover!  I just have a coverlet on top of my duvet.  This trick, however, will have me looking at duvet covers again!  I saw it on the new Meredith Vieira Show.  Stephanie from Real Simple Magazine calls it the burrito method and demonstrates it here.
