How To Create Paper Blossoms | Apartment Therapy DC

My favorite paper creations of late are tissue paper cherry blossoms, which are as pretty as they are easy to make.

High Functioning Coat Hooks

Back in Los Angeles, any old coat rack or a few hooks by the door would do. Most of us would just toss a jacket in the back of the car in the winter months. But here in Vermont we need a little more. Many of the vernacular farm houses I visit have at least a half dozen hooks per person lined up in their mud rooms.
