I don't know if I'm the marrying kind, so moving across the country to be with my love might be the closest I get to a big wedding-sort-of-moment. To mark the occasion, I thought it would be fun to throw a bachelorettesque party — though it's really just a chance to treat my closest girl friends to an evening of silly fun.

Q: I'll be heading off to college soon (my first year!!) and am super pumped-up about the prospect of redecorating "my room." I've done my research on your site and others and have come up with my own vision in terms of design! So what do you think?

Green is having a moment. Since emerald became Pantone's 2013 Color of the Year, this vibrant shade, and others on the same spectrum, have been popping up all over the home furnishings world. Green is somehow invigorating and calming at the same time, and with versions from mint to olive to forest, there's a green for everyone.

My now husband and I moved into this apartment two years ago. It was the first place we shared together and our first chance to decorate. We can't paint here but we wanted to add a lot of color and did so by accessorizing. I'd say our style is modern with hints of rustic themes. 

When I wrote about my goal of packing a box a day in preparation for my upcoming move, a commenter mentioned the inefficiency of this system, considering I'd have to gather together tape, scissors, etc, every time I wanted to pack a box. Never fear! I have a survival kit.

The former Sag Harbor Watchcase factory is being converted into loft-style condos. Renovated by Beyer Blinder Belle Architects (who did Grand Central Terminal and the Brooklyn Navy Yard), they plan to restore the facade but not add additional adornments to "pretty it up." The former industrial eyesore will inject some SoHo flair into the coastal retreat. The building plans to open for residents next summer.

Q: We are planning on moving in 1-2 years, so we don't want to do anything too major or expensive, but our builder-basic kitchen is in need of a few expensive-looking touches! Does anyone have any suggestions on light fixtures, window coverings, backsplashes and anything else that would make our kitchen look like we have spent some money without actually spending any? Thanks!
