Cinco de Mayo is two days away so we wanted to do something a little festive. In honor of Mexico’s independence we turn to the Doña of decorating…Martha Stewart. Martha Stewart has provided countless ideas for the home. When we saw her Hanging Paper Flowers, we instantly knew they would be perfect for the upcoming holiday.
