The new version of the Chicago classic, Dream Home, opened its doors at the Mart this month. I always enjoy this compact, idea-packed, citified version of a show home, and this current incarnation is no exception. Here are five trends spotted from the quick snaps I took during my press visit: More

Trellises are a great way to grow your green goods vertically. Not only do they save space, they're great for plants who are best at climbing, sprawling and spreading out. Terra Trellis has re-imagined the classic trellis, with these bright, modern and sculptural versions. More

Feeling sleepy? You won't get much shut-eye in these sexy beds. These super chic, luxurious hotel "rooms" take glamping (glam camping) to a whole new level. From the remote plains of Africa to the middle of Manhattan, you can find a way to sleep under the stars. It sure beats a backyard camp-out! More

Wool blankets are a classic bedding accessory that should be in everyone's home. Besides being incredibly warm, they're dirt resistant, flame resistant, very durable and can last years upon years. Forget about scratchy army-style wool blankets (which I actually keep in my car, just in case), here are some great, graphic and stylish wool blankets to keep you warm. More

At around 160-square-feet not a single inch goes unused and everything is multi-purpose. He's given his residential response to the Smart Car a spin — watch the video below to find out what works great, and what just cramps his style. More

On the recommendation of one of our readers, I decided to petition Santa Claus for a pair of linen sheets. He came through, and ever since, sleep has never been so deep or sweet. For all you who have written it off as too scratchy or stiff, reconsider! More

When the architecture firm MINIM was asked to restore this winery in the Priorat region of Spain, liquid filled the basement and it was partially in ruins. They turned it into a gorgeous juxtaposition of new and old elements, complete with living space to entertain clients and guests. More

For us apartment dwellers, lack of storage space and seating can become an issue when entertaining. So I'm loving all of the stackable, stowable, and squishable occasional seating options on the market! Poufs and pillows can be pricey or practical — and there's even one solution you may already own!
