It’s a goal of mine to share more of my packable lunches this year and next, and that goal has only been strengthened by diving into nutrition work again.

I have a confession: I'm a design writer who, until recently, had never actually painted a room. I've spent countless hours staring at fan decks, and I've memorized more shade names that I care to admit, but as someone who has hopped from rental to rental, rarely staying put for more than a year at a time, painting never quite seemed worth it.

But as of this month, I'm proud to say that my neophyte status is no more. While this will probably be old hat to many of you, my guess is that I'm not the only first-time painter out there. Luckily, my boyfriend's dad was a contractor, and he's spent many hours with a roller in hand. . • I had read that one gallon of paint would cover about 350 square feet. . • Using primer is a good way to save some money, since you'll need to use fewer coats of mixed paint, which is more expensive, and it will also help give your walls a truer color. . • Before you use a new roller, dampen it very lightly. . • Paint one wall at a time. . • Invest in a good trim brush.

Casa de novela: Cenário de ‘Louco por elas’ une antigo e moderno - Decoração e Jardim. O técnico de futebol de praia Léo, personagem de Du Moscovis no seriado "Louco por elas", da TV Globo — que estreia na próxima terça-feira —, mora no bairro carioca de Santa Teresa, numa casa antiga, com arquitetura bem característica dessa região da cidade. O imóvel tem vários níveis, além de ser bastante ornamentado nos rodapés, nos rodatetos, nas sancas e nas colunas. Numa residência assim, é natural que se busque uma decoração harmônica, com elementos mais antigos. Mas dá para modernizá-la. Uma dica simples para que não fique tudo com cara de casa da vovó é investir em peças coloridas, como o abajur florido, com base azul, e o banco verde, posicionado debaixo da escada desse cenário.

Finally there is a company, Pretty Pegs, that gets it. I’m heading out for the day, but I hope you all have a wonderful weekend.

No movie in recent memory has captured English wartime romance quite as well as Atonement. A dreamy wisp of florals and wildflowers in the years preceding World War II, the film follows the scandal and intrigue that rock a proper countryside manse. Pattern on pattern, privileged parties, feminine swags and fantastic party dresses — if it weren’t for the impending war, I’d say sign me up. — Amy Merrick The full post continues after the jump . . . So the whole “World War II tragic love story” turn in the movie puts a damper on my English garden reveries, but it does have its stylistic merits. 1.
