We all love our pets but we don't always love all of the things that come along with them. Often it feels like you are limited to the generic supplies at the big box pet store or to the opposite extreme, overpriced supplies at posh boutique pet shops. Enter Etsy, the handmade marketplace is filled with quirky, stylish finds that won't break the bank and look good enough to leave out.

If you're looking for a pick-me-up and live in LA, I highly recommend swinging over to the MOCA Pacific Design Center to check out an exhibit dedicated the pursuit of happiness. 

A British sugar company has created a candy hotel. Seriously. The windowsills in the Soho, London, hotel were made entirely of fudge, flower arrangements were made of sculpted sugar, the cushions on the beds were actually cakes, and there was a carpet made of 1,081 meringues that would actually not look out of place in my own apartment, except for the whole “made of meringues” thing.

The general rule for layering two sets of curtains is sheer + opaque. The sheers allow light in while providing privacy during the day and the opaque layer blocks light for blissful sleep, warding off drafts and dampening noise. Beyond that the possibilities are endless: mix and match prints, color and texture to create something unique.

The Americans is a new television drama that is bringing a not-currently-in-favor era back into style with mustard yellow and high wasted jeans. The early 1980’s style of the kitchen in The Americans is bringing back wood paneling and Harvest Gold appliances, but there is a modern way to get the early 80’s look without the formica. 

It's always embarrassing when an unexpected number of guests arrive and there aren't enough chairs to go around. Does someone sit on the floor? How many people can squash onto the sofa? With the Stooler around, insufficient seating might never be a problem again. More
