Pulling together a great space is all about combining interesting textures, colors, shapes, styles and what better way to add a little bit of each by thinking outside the box when it comes to tiles. White subway tiles are a modern classic but there's a new tile trend popping up in bathrooms and kitchens — fish scales. Plus what better way to pretend you're a mermaid that lives by the ocean while having a soak? Here are ten fabulous bathrooms and kitchens that use fish scale tiles in the most perfect way.

5 Grocery Store Labels You Can Take With A Grain of Salt — The Kitchn
by Apartment Therapy
LindsaycdavisonWhole Grains - make the sure the "whole grain" is on the ingredient list
Cage- free -better to look for the word pasture
artisanal - total marketing
all natural - loosely defined as exclusion of added colors, artificial flavors, and synthetic substances...which isn't really all natural.
Angus - he confusing news is that some beef brands skip the certification and just live on the recognizability of the breed’s name. The better news is that to carry Certified Angus Beef, retailers (and restaurants) must be licensed

Nashville Will Most Likely Be Picked Up By CMT For A Fifth Season!
by Perez Hilton
Lindsaycdavisonthis makes sense
Don't throw away your cowboy boots just yet!
As we reported in May, ABC made a surprise move and cancelled Nashville after four seasons. Not surprisingly, fans were pissed and vented their frustrations on social media!
Well it looks like the TV gods are answering our prayers because the country music drama will most likely be picked up for a fifth season!
Related: THIS Nashville Star Just Got Engaged!
According to sources, CMT is looking to renew the hit show, and if negotiations are in place in time, they will announce the news tomorrow at the CMT Music Awards!
The hour-long starring Connie Britton and Hayden Panettiere may also air on Hulu, which would be a good move considering the streaming service already carries the previous seasons!
After the show was cancelled, producer Lionsgate TV was vigilant in pitching the show to other networks. It appears they were so confident it was going to be picked up that they chose a cliffhanger ending for season 4, mapped out a season 5, and even funded a writers room with new showrunners Marshall Herskovitz and Ed Zwick at the helm.
Although nothing is set in stone, things are looking good y'all!
Yeehaw!

by Apartment Therapy
LindsaycdavisonHere's one expert's pick. At $59 per glass, the Zalto Denk'Art Universal Glass isn't cheap, but, says Wilson, "It gets the job done for me every time." Suitable for white, red, and bubbles, it's also the glass of choice for another Master Sommelier, Aldo Sohm, who heads up the wine program at Le Bernardin and also has his own eponymous wine bar.

College Sweethearts Share a Charming Texas Home — House Call
by Adrienne Breaux
Lindsaycdavisonnot sharing for the house - is college sweethearts a thing? i mean...didn't a lot of us meet our sig other in college? i feel like high school sweethearts makes sense bc it's not as common.
Name: Ashley Flotte
Location: Plano, Texas
I live with my college-sweetheart husband and our two sassy babies (ages three and one) in our two-story Plano, Texas home, built in 1992 in a traditional style with red brick, black shutters, and a charming front porch packed with rocking chairs. Our first viewing of it when we were house-hunting three years ago was at dusk, complete with glowy romantic light streaming through all the windows. The house felt straight out of a movie, and every scratched floorboard and 90s-liscious gold bathroom fixture whispered "home." We fought valiantly for it in a bidding war. (And lost. A couple of times.) But the stars finally aligned, and the rest, as they say, is suburban history.

The Best Modern Gold (and Copper!) Flatware
by Nancy Mitchell

But since then gold has made a comeback in a big way, and suddenly it's possible to find beautiful, modern gold flatware in a huge variety of styles and price ranges. For those inclined to be adventurous, there are copper and rose gold options, too. We've rounded up some of the best.

The Sweet Strange History of Cat Funerals — Mimi Matthews
by Nancy Mitchell
Funerals, of course, are not a happy occasion, but they serve an important purpose: they give the bereaved a chance to celebrate the dead person's life, to mourn together, and hopefully, to begin the healing process. When a pet dies things are a bit murkier. For a human death there's an accepted script to follow: for a dog or cat, no so much. But anyone looking for a fitting way to mourn Fido or Fluffy might be heartened to hear that cat (and dog!) funerals actually have quite a lengthy history.

The Kitchen: The Final Frontier for Plants
by Nancy Mitchell
Lindsaycdavison@ivy! when i see plants, I think of you.
Indoor plants are huge. They're everywhere. They're in the bedroom, they're in the bathroom. But the kitchen is kind of the last frontier in this regard — I think maybe people are a little reluctant to put plants in the kitchen because the idea of having all that dirt so close to the place where they cook makes them a little uncomfortable. If you're in this camp, maybe you'll change your mind when you see these eight examples of how darned great it looks. You could grow herbs right in your kitchen! (And really, if you think about it, all of your food comes from dirt anyway.)

8 Brilliant IKEA Hacks for Baby
by Taryn Williford
Lindsaycdavisonthere are two nice ones here- the storage on the stokke and the remote control thing to hold bottles and such.
I don't have any kids, but I imagine when I do, I'm going to have a "Disneyland" rule for their first Swedish flat-pack shopping trip: It's not worth the money or the hassle to take them to IKEA before they turn 4 years old (at least, that's when they're first welcome at Småland). But you don't have to take the babe shopping with you to give them their first taste of IKEA hacking.
