If you love something, make it flat—that’s how the saying goes, right? When it comes to flat croissants, at least, that’s definitely the case. We all know (and love) the classic flaky croissant, but bakeries and home chefs have taken the pastry to new heights (or lows?) by flattening it and frying it to make it even crispier.
Joanna Gaines' Newest Project Uses Blue as the Perfect Pop of Color
03.05.2024 - 14:11 / thespruce.com / Christianna Silva
Joanna Gaines is famous for her dedication to the neutral color palette. You can see her commitment to beige, browns, and whites in each of her collections.
The rugs and throw pillows in her collaboration with Loloi are centered in neutral colors. Her curated paint collection includes a range of 10 classic and neutral colors and shades. And, her Target collection, Hearth & Hand with Magnolia always adheres to the ethos of neutrality.
But just because Gaines loves a good beige, taupe, or sand tone, it seems that the Fixer Upper co-host and owner of Magnolia isn’t afraid to step a bit outside of her comfort zone.
In her most recent home renovation project, she added in a pop of color that might seem unexpected: cobalt blue.
In a recent Instagram post, Gaines is captured sporting a cobalt blue sweatshirt and is pointing towards a cobalt blue sconce. She captioned the post “I likey,” and more than 42,000 people liked it, implying they can’t help but agree. It’s a bright, happy, and clever decorating tip that we can’t wait to use in our own homes.
While her use of such a bright color comes as a bit of a surprise, the choice of color shouldn’t be too shocking. Cobalt blue has long been a favorite among ceramicists—after all, just think of Morocco's Jardin Majorelle or the many beautiful tiles that line the buildings of Portugal.
Ceramics are so often loyal to the neutral colors that Gains’s designs find comfort in, so matching those neutrals with a bright, cobalt blue is an ode to the neutral colors on its own.
This tone of blue makes for a beautiful kitchen, and when you mix it with white, it calls to a theme we see sprouting across the Mediterranean.

Perfect Plants for Slopes
We design gardens in northwestern Connecticut’s Litchfield Hills, and many of our clients’ properties have sections that are rocky and steep. Embracing the unique contours of each site, we have built rock gardens, terraces, and plantings that flow downhill. We see each hillside as an opportunity to put together a satisfying plant palette that is easy to maintain and beautiful to behold. A bonus with slopes is that they provide good drainage by their very nature.

Choosing the Perfect Moment for Sowing Grass
Planting grass is more than just scattering seeds on soil; it's an art, a delicate dance with nature's rhythms. The key to a lush, vibrant lawn lies in timing. Understanding the nuances of the seasons is crucial. Spring brings warmth and rejuvenation, making it an ideal time for sowing grass. As the earth awakens from its winter slumber, seeds eagerly germinate, taking root in the fertile soil. With ample sunlight and moisture, the young grasslings flourish, setting the stage for a verdant carpet.

Our garden editor's perfect planting scheme for spring borders | House & Garden
Putting plants together is the most creative and joyful part of making a garden. With colour, shape and texture, you can conjure up a living work of art, something that not only gives you sensory pleasure but also benefits wildlife and the environment. But with so many options available to us, where do we start? I always think back to the plantswoman Beth Chatto and her mantra ‘right plant, right place’ when conceiving a plan, because there is no point in rushing to place your favourite sun-loving flowers in a shady spot at the back of a north-facing house. ‘Plants, like people, have their preferences and don’t like being thrust into the nearest available hole,’ she observed.
