In anticipation of Easter, I want to share with you two of my favorite Easter stories from Living. One is a story on Sugar Eggs that ran in April 1997 and the other is A Rainbow of Easter Baskets that appeared in the April 2006 issue. I hope you find the images and ideas from these stories as beautiful and inspiring as I do. Wishing everyone a wonderful, happy Easter.

Hi Kevin. Love your post! Quick question on an old post about your linen chest. What paint color did you use? What were the steps to "make it ebonized"...?!
