On Sunday we headed out of the city for what was likely our last summer hoorah...a visit to a friend's lakehouse in Bass Lake, IN. Like most lake homes/cottages, this one continues to enjoy a simple...
Today on Martha's blog, an account of the inspiration tour she recently took the art department staff of her tv show on. We enjoyed the casual, behind-the-scenes......

The Southwold Beach Huts in Suffolk, England are the size of a row of garden sheds, but many of them are passed down through generations like prized family estates. They're synonymous with seaside l...
