My mom still has packs of paper doilies in her kitchen. She’s the queen of table presentation with her fabulous hors d’oeuvres, pastries, and cakes. Doilies always added that extra elegant touch to her table. Here are modern doilies with a twist, from online site Modern Twist. “How’d you like that line?” I particularly like the one that looks like caramel drizzled in a looped design. Reminds me of when I order molten lava chocolate cakes with ice cream and drizzled in caramel. Yum! Anyway, so these are great not only because they create great presentation, but they are durable, washable, and reusable.

DOILEEZ are available on modern-twist.com. Also use them for non-food decorating, see below.

I saved this photo and now can’t remember where I found it, but I just love this fabulous disco stair idea. Here’s an easy way to really make a statement with your staircase. I like the mix of the mirrored tiles against the wood rail and wall frame to the right, totally unexpected and fun. Edgy vs. classic decor, love it! I realize this post veers a little off topic for this blog but I just really liked it and wanted to post it for you. I’ll justify it by categorizing as a “simple” but fabulous idea.
