I probably haven’t had a subscription to the magazine in over 20 years, but it was neat to see some new creative ideas in the spirit of those I once loved about the magazine。 Might even implement one or two。

One of the most popular monthly features in the magazine "Martha Stewart Living" is "Good Things"--a collection of easy projects and clever tips that, according to Stewart, are "simple, smart, and sensible" in presenting novel ways to enliven homes and gatherings using easy-to-find materials。 MARTHA STEWART'S VERY GOOD THINGS culls the best of the best from more than 30 years of "Martha Stewart Living," resulting in a beautifully designed, lovingly photographed and immensely entertaining book。Th One of the most popular monthly features in the magazine "Martha Stewart Living" is "Good Things"--a collection of easy projects and clever tips that, according to Stewart, are "simple, smart, and sensible" in presenting novel ways to enliven homes and gatherings using easy-to-find materials。 MARTHA STEWART'S VERY GOOD THINGS culls the best of the best from more than 30 years of "Martha Stewart Living," resulting in a beautifully designed, lovingly photographed and immensely entertaining book。The lushly illustrated book divides these tips, projects and ideas into six broad chapters: Decorating, Homekeeping (making household chores more manageable), Organizing, Cooking, Entertaining and Celebrating (holiday-specific tips and DIY projects)。 Happily, most of these projects and tips are extremely simple and explained in a single paragraph。 Recipes usually have four or fewer steps。 The projects are attractive, functional and surprisingly easy。 Creating a floating bedside shelf is simple and useful, wallpapering stair risers adds excitement to a staircase, and replacing bed headboards with curtains mounted on the walls is innovative。 The Cooking chapter focuses on time savers and eliminating waste。 The Entertaining chapter highlights cooking-for-crowds favorites, grilling game changers and fuss-free desserts。Sprinkled throughout are "Classic Good Thing" tips that should have readers muttering, "Why didn't I think of that?" For instance, a rubber band stretched over an open paint can to wipe excess paint off a brush。 And only a fool will not photocopy (and laminate) the two-page stain chart which gives individual solutions to removing stains caused by grease, grass, wine, ink, blood and more。 Stewart's beautifully designed and easy-to-use handbook is a very good thing。 Hundreds of clever tips and projects for making life easier are collected from three decades of "Martha Stewart Living" and illustrated with vibrant and tempting photos。 。。。more
