Sacre Bleu! Amazing Moroccan baths at MarieClaire Maison.

CasaSugar did a great roundup of artichoke-themed decor this week. Beautifully delicious!

Here’s a great little reminder on how to hang artwork in groups at Absolutely Beautiful Things: start by grouping them all on the floor.

Bring the outdoors in with this exquisite bell jar table lamp at Design*Sponge. WANT.

Green Your Decor is throwing down the energy gauntlet.

Interesting debate about saving salmon from orca whales, at McClatchyDC. We’re kinda rooting for the whales, honestly.

Should we convert 25% of ramshackle Detroit into farmland? Sounds like quite the idea! Via the Huffington Post.

Real Simple’s got some great advice on how to help relieve stress and arguments about chores. We can ALWAYS use more help with this, chore charts and all!

Sheriff Harry S. Truman: Jelly donuts?
Special Agent Dale Cooper: Harry, that goes without saying.

The only thing the citizens of Twin Peaks like more than a fresh-caught fish or the Miss Twin Peaks contest is a cup of damn fine coffee and an endless array of donuts or a slab of pie from the Double R Diner. (Played by Twede’s Cafe, which you can still visit today in pretty much its original incarnation.) Tula from Whorange helped us track down these fantastic additions to our Twin Peaks tribute.

You may not want to take a bite, but it sure has staying power: a fake donut, $15.99, from Fake Food Online. We were amused to learn that David Lynch has his own brand of coffee! We assume it’s best served black as midnight on a moonless night. It can’t taste better than in a vintage Fire King mug (found on eBay) not unlike those at the Sherrif’s office, but we imagine a serving from an I’m Not a Paper Cup ceramic mug, $16, would be just as tasty. Also from Fake Food Online, keep a bit of Norma’s home cooking with you at all times with this fake slice of cherry pie, $22. You can also keep your coffee warm on your trek to Jacques Renault’s cabin with this knitted coffee sleeve, $18.

Emory Battis: You don’t know what you’re dealing with, Miss Horne. You don’t know how deep you’re in.
Audrey Horne: Oh, yes I do. I’m Audrey Horne and I get what I want.

Of course, no tribute to Twin Peaks would be complete without a nod to the scene that launched 1,000 tries at tying a cherry stem with our tongues. Audrey Horne, we toast to you with a Sweet and Snappy Cherry Drink, a sweet and sassy cherry knob from Anthropologie, $8, and a bit of Northwest flavor: Chukar cherry pie and cobbler filling, $14.95.

Finally, we’re sure that there are cherry pie recipes to die for, but frankly, we don’t have the patience for rolling that crust. So for us, this cherry cheesecake that Paola Thomas of mirrormirror made using a Nigella Lawson recipe. Paola also took that gorgeous photo above. So mouth-watering, you’d think it worked at One-Eyed Jack’s.

The Lady with the Log
Welcome to Twin Peaks

1) Really into Twin Peaks decor? You can buy Laura Palmer’s entire house. Jess says: My husband and I have been house hunting, and while browsing we ran across the house used as Laura Palmer’s home on the show! It’s for sale, so you really could take the whole decor tribute one step further and spring for this beauty. Thanks for an awesome find, Jess! See our Twin Peaks tribute starting here.

2) Do you wear an apron? Heck yes. And if you don’t, you fully intend to, according to our comments. Letitia says: “I definitely wear an apron when making bacon and chicken cutlets. I also wear one right before a party starts and as the guests arrive. Even though the food is all prepped, I still have to pull it out of the oven and fridge and reposition that crock pot of Nancy’s meatballs! God forbid I spill something on my outfit! And of course, I wear an apron when Clyde gets a bath…Two things that an apron MUST have are an adjusting neck strap (you’d be amazed at how many are not adjustable!) and at least one pocket.” Good tips. And Clyde’s a dog…right? Do you wear an apron?

3) Guinness cupcakes, now with icing recipe. You liked the look of Katie’s Guinness cupcakes, but you had questions. Elayne says: “How many cupcakes do you get from the ingredient amounts that you listed?” And Katie answers: “The recipe made about 20 cupcakes (although, fair warning, I couldn’t get a decent count since they were gobbled up so fast!). I used out of the can, store-bought icing. I used plain old vanilla, melted it in the microwave to smooth it out, and dyed it green. For a really decadent St Pat’s treat, the girl’s at We Are Not Martha have a recipe for Bailey’s frosting that would be delicious on Guinness Cupcakes.”

4) Pewter stoneware shines on. Virginia says: “The ‘Pewter’ Stoneware from Juliska is fabulous and shiny (but I don’t think that is such a bad thing). Pairing the Pewter with Juliska’s Berry and Thread pattern creates an instant modernized, cutting-edge look to an otherwise classic table-set. My favorite piece in Pewter Stoneware is the ramekin. It can be the perfect end to a dinner party when you bring out individual desserts in the ramekin.” See the oven-safe “pewter” here.

5) You have the hots for El Yucateco sauce. Roche says: “I try a lot of hot sauces, and this is the best one out there. Everything from the fancy-nancy to the homemade fails to compare. It comes in green and red, which are essentially the same, but then there’s a brown chunky kind that will kill the uninitiated. It’s really strong, in a really good way.” El Yucateco, here we come.

Chicken pot pie gets simplified at Bitten. Looks like the antidote to a cold late winter night.

It’s impossible not to drool for this coconut milk fudge at smitten kitchen. Bookmarked!

We’ve gone on about city chickens. Now Good has a post on backyard bunnies. (Warning: skinned rabbit photos at link.)

It’s kitchen and bath month at Apartment Therapy, which is perfect, as we seem to perpetually have bathroom remodeling on the brain. This roundup of dark grout in bathroom is a great big bunch of “Yes.”

An adorable desk organizer made of soda bottles at Craft. Looks doable for even the clumsiest craftster (like some of us here, but we’re not naming names)!

Do your devices keep powering down? The New York Times has tips on keeping device batteries going and going.

A mushroom even us fungiphiles haven’t tried: the hedgehog mushroom, at the Kitchn.

Sometimes it’s nice to be reminded what magic a little paint can do. Pimp your bookends, at Decor8.

It doesn’t cover every question, like whether it’s appropriate to have a housewarming party two years after you moved in (”The house just isn’t ready yet”), but Casa Sugar has many other helpful housewarming party tips.

I’m seriously considering a trip to Texas based on a matchbook I saw on Sub-Studio. This totally awesome design is by Christine Celic Strohl for La Condesa, a Mexican restaurant in Austin. I’m convinced that a restaurant that’s cool enough to have commissioned these matchbooks must be worth a visit. Any Austin readers in the house who can confirm? — Erica P.

Have you checked out Lonny yet, the online-only home and fashion magazine? The current issue has a feature related to my recently rekindled desire to get my house more organized. With a variety of fun ideas and closet inserts, they get you inspired to find storage in just 20 inches of space. Visit Lonny Magazine and flip through the virtual pages of the spring issue to find this feature. (You can print the pages from their website, too.) — Mary T.

Nerds around the world, sharpen your pencils and shine your calculators — Pi Day is upon us again. Every year, 3/14 is a day we set apart to celebrate Pi, the mathematical constant describing the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter, because the first three digits are 3, 1, and 4. Last year, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a non-binding resolution (H.RES.224) recognizing the holiday, which is also Einstein’s birthday. That’s all the justification I need to party.

Because this year’s celebration, isn’t until next Sunday, we have plenty of time to get our pi-parations in order. Visit PiDay.org to learn more about the greatness that is Pi, or send your most deserving friends an e-card. Stock up on your Pi apparel, like this T-shirt from Neatorama or hoodies and housewares from ThinkGeek.

And get those Pi-cecubes a-chillin’ for their signature Pi-Tini, because once Pi Day eclipses, we’ve got 365 long ones until it’s here again. (Unless, of course, you count Pi Approximation Day on 7/22.) And if you need a little Pi year-round, check out Katie D.’s Pi dresser find for some furniture inspiration. — Sarah C.

Here’s one from contributor Megan B.’s neighborhood! West Seattle Blog just posted this story of a Pigeon Point resident who decided that a little humor was the best approach to increased traffic brought on by street construction. The resulting signs are sure to be more effective than my approach, which is basically to shake my fist and yell. If you’re creative and have to deal with a lot of traffic on your street, maybe a sign-making session is worth thinking about. See both signs here. — Mary T.

There’s a whole group of design enthusiasts who are tired of the ubiquitous “Keep Calm and Carry On’” posters (spoiler alert: us). To those of you who are totally over it, perhaps these WPA posters can fill the void.

President Franklin Roosevelt created the Federal Arts Project during the Great Depression as a way to keep artists employed, promote healthy living and American tourism, and to emphasize community.

The Library of Congress houses the largest known collection of about 900 posters. The striking lithograph, woodcut, and silkscreen posters are simple and engaging all at once. Visit Apartment Therapy for a simple guide to ordering prints. — Katie D.

1) Baked oatmeal is the recipe that keeps on giving. viaKendra apparently had quite a few snafus when she first gave it a try last weekend, but says: “Thank goodness the recipe is forgiving… I’ve been enjoying it all week. My husband loves it, and I’ve shared the recipe with 3 coworkers who’ve enjoyed samples. It’s dense enough to be a hand-held treat, and not too sweet, but I like to heat it up in a bowl with milk and maple syrup and eat it with a spoon like delicious porridge.” Click to read the recipe from November that still has people commenting.

2) Renters’ insurance? That’s a yes. Like most of you, kimberj says: “We insisted that our kids have renters insurance once they graduated college and were on their own. Too many big ticket items including furniture, electronics, even clothes, shoes, and jewelry can cost a fortune to replace. …You can’t control potential idiot neighbors or negligent landlords. Hers even covers earthquake damage, vital in LA. For us its worth the peace of mind.” Do you have renters insurance?

3) Moss looks wonderful, but it can be slippery. Sarah E. says: “My husband’s parents have moss covering a good portion of their lawn which has the same conditions you describe: shady, hilly and clay-ey. It really does look beautiful and is ridiculously easy to care for, but be careful if that area gets foot traffic — it can get extremely slippery after a good rain! Learn more about moss.

4) You’ve have tips for installing the inexpensive modern house numbers. RomeoandJewels says: “We installed these — got them at OSH. Be very careful and drill the hole exactly the same size and be careful with the positioning. We thought that we could ’stretch’ the screw over a little when installing them and we ended up snapping off a bunch of screws. They do look fantastic now that they’re up!” (Editor’s note: I put up those numbers, too! I didn’t break any screws, but that’s probably because I am bad at drilling — all the holes are huge, but it’s not an issue because you fill them with caulk. They do look great! — Mary T.) See the house numbers here.

5) Real Simple’s grocery shopping organizer has fans, too. This comment actually comes from Shelterrific’s Facebook page, where Alyson says: “I have been using a Real Simple grocery list thingy for the past few years and I loooove it. …A pre-printed check list with basic items and room for your own additions that follows the lay out of most grocery stores. It makes for super efficient shopping trips.” Check out Real Simple’s new line of closet and bedroom organizers, and hey — fan Shelterrific on Facebook, if you like.
