Have you picked up the latest issue of Martha Stewart Living? If the answer is no, then you need to run–don't walk–to the newstand and snap this baby up. I know I say it every time I blog about this magazine, but it keeps getting better and better! The January offering is jam-packed with interiors eye-candy, DIY's I actually want to do, recipes I can't wait to try…it's so YUM!
Maybe it's that I've caught the resolution bug, but as I flip through the pages I am caught by how many of these ideas I'd like to implement to make my daily life more smooth and enjoyable. The restaurant ticket bar as a desk catch-all? Genius! And the feature on kitchens is not to be missed–that first photo is one of several that will have you drooling and rushing to sort your glassware collection.
Plus the whole issue has such a lovely 'fresh start' vibe to it, just like any January publication should. The colors are bright and energetic; the textures are just right for the winter season–cozy, homey. I want to knit a blanket, and build a yurt, and milk a goat. (I think I'll scale those to-do's back a bit and perhaps just organize my bathroom closet, but hey, it's the thought that counts!)
Do you have household goals for this month? Mine include: Getting the living room in order (it's a war zone!) and tossing old cosmetics that have expired. Share them with me and let's keep each other accountable! Twitter is a great place to do that. Follow me at www.twitter.com/citysage and tell me all about what your January intentions are–we'll check in on each other!

This is a great palette–a slight variation of those ubiquitous primary colors. Everything is so homey and definitely compatible with everyday living, especially the kitchen area. Little details like wall art make all the difference.
whoa…you’re not kidding…looks great!
the ticket bar is a really amazing idea! anyone know where i could buy one? My huge empty office wall is screaming 4 of them!
Barry Sanders had been born with such a talented player, but 10 years all the way down to the lion’s achievements, many people think that before the well-known commentator, former general manager Matt * MacMillan is a leading culprit in all this. This man for three consecutive years only in the first round of the draft pick wide receiver, who combined aspects of the errors one by one, the failure to keep fans and players have lost confidence and morale, the regular season just over four weeks, fans and the media can not be completed in the discussion they lost all unprecedented feat.
i have got to get my hands on a copy of that issue! these are all such inspirational ideas!
