Months ago I had seen these fabulous DIY Decorative Trays crafted by the queen bee herself Martha Stewart, but was hesitant to take on this project fearing the end result would look less than chic.  I’m happy to report that I finally got my craft on and in less than 15 minutes I have an amazing new decorative tray where an old burnt baking pan used to be!  I took a few liberties with the original “How To’s” because quite frankly I didn’t have any felt lying around the abode, and I really don’t think you need it.  So without further ado I’m happy to say our “Do of the Week” is from yours truly (with a little help from Martha of course).  Enjoy!  xoxo

Fabric TrayMy finished product!

The Inspiration Courtesy of Martha Stewart

What You’ll Need

  1. Baking pan, cookie sheet, tray of some sort (I used an old burnt metal backing pan)
  2. 1 yard (or the appropriate size of your tray) of decorative fabric
  3. Scissors
  4. Tacky Spray Adhesive (I used Allenes Crystal Clear Acid Free Tacky Spray)
  5. Optional acrylic sheet cut to fit inside tray

The DIY

  1. Cut fabric the front and wrap around the back of the tray. Cover the front of the tray with spray adhesive.
  2. Place fabric on tray, leaving enough room to wrap fabric around all sides to the back. Smooth fabric onto tray, pressing out any bubbles.  Be careful and take your time, once it’s on removing it an re-sticking it is VERY difficult!
  3. Pull any extra material into corner and push around the edge (very much like wrapping a gift).
  4. Turn tray over. Cover each side one at a time with spray adhesive and press the fabric over the four  edges.  Trim any excess fabric with scissors. Use additional adhesive spray if needed.
    6. If desired place acrylic sheet in center of tray.      If you are using an acrylic sheet it would be extra amazing to cut out your monogram and secure it to the fabric in the center of the tray before securing the acrylic over the top.

 

Not too shabby for my first time!

I’ll be utilizing mine at my bar or to hold my baubles!

As you’ll remember, I recently welcomed the season and celebrated a local Georgia flavor with Williams Sonoma and my Creamed Vidalia Onion Bake.  And today I’m reveling in another local flavor, Georga peaches. 

Similar to the vidalia onion bake, this peach tart recipe is incredibly easy to make, and you just can’t beat the mixture of these simple, yet rich flavors.  The sweet peach plays perfectly with the tangy flavor of goat cheese, warm cinnamon, subtle crunch of pistachio and the sticky-sweet honey drizzle on top.  And since I’m big on texture and getting that perfect crispy bite, I take my time when thinly slicing the peaches ensuring the peaches will bake evenly while still maintaining a heavenly-thin crisp crust.

So voila, a oohy-gooey-crispy-peachy treat.  The perfect recipe to reval and enjoy your love of peaches far beyond the summer season.  But be forewarned: these little slices disappear faster than you expect. Enjoy!  Truly, MKR

  7. Crumble goat cheese on the dough and line peaches on top of the cheese in a row.
  8. Bake until crust is golden brown approximately 35-45 minutes. Remove from oven and drizzle with remaining honey. Let cool to room temperature, sprinkle with pistachios and serve.

Martha MUST…Ginger Jars

I’m having a major blue and white moment, (have I told you all this yet I swear I forget what I’ve shared and what I haven’t).  A major moment.  My kitchen doors and island have been painted a deep midnight navy.  I have 15 blue and white (with some green) pillows throughout the family room accompanied with that same midnight navy on the ceiling.  My foyer’s console table has a complete collection of ginger jars in all shapes and sizes (a collection the Mr. is still nervous about knocking over on the daily).  And that collection of ginger jars on the table is really what started my obsession.

While most decorating savants have been collecting all things ginger (jars, lamps, plates, etc) for years and years, there has been a huge resurgence and love for them over the past year.  And if my trip to The Mart this week (that’s where I do all my buying for The Shop) is any indication of things to come then 2014 is all about the ginger jar.  You can find ginger jars practically everywhere and range in price from high to low.   My current jar faves are from C.Wonder, Williams & Sonoma, and One Kings Lane.  And if you’re a good hunter you can still find century-old jars in antique stores, but finding one with it’s original lid intact is extremely difficult.  So tell me are ginger jars a MUST for you?  truly, MKR.
