Three cross country moves in three years is enough to test even the most solid of relationships, but newlyweds Holly and Joe are convinced it just made theirs stronger. They recently decided to put down roots in Portland and plan to let those roots go deep before they consider another move any time soon.

An inexpensive alternative to tile, beadboard is a great choice for bathrooms because it is relatively durable, can be painted any color, and can be installed at any height. While you often see it in traditional or rustic bathrooms, bead board does not have to impart a cutesy country feel. It can be positively sleek and cool. And best of all, beadboard can add a new visual contrast to any remotely blah bathroom.

It's nice these days to get invited to see stuff before it hits the shelves. With HomeGoods (a store I've only been learning about over the past few years since they moved to NYC) it was particularly nice to see how they styled all of their stuff, since the store experience is the famously random "treasure hunt". The preview I went to this past spring is out now and features a bit of vintage, some Belgian contemporary (very Resto) AND some happy chic, Jonathan Adler-type stuff. Over all, it was really impressive.

In the beginning of 2007, my new husband and I moved into a 400-square-foot apartment in Manhattan's Gramercy Park neighborhood. It was on the third floor of a brownstone, had high ceilings, one bedroom, an exposed brick wall, and lots of charm. We ended up staying three years and learned many lessons about setting up shop in a small space. Here's what I'm glad I did, and here's what I wish I'd done differently. More

You might remember Roger and Chris from their stunning Austin home that was a mix of modern and farmhouse, with a ton of DIY ideas. Or you might remember Roger from his role as TV host of popular A&E shows "Sell This House" and "Move This House." However you remember, you certainly won't forget them after checking out their new furniture line, Decades. More

Growing up in the Northeast, I have a deep affection for the Shakers and their enduring design, which flowed directly from their religious beliefs. Maintaining that everybody could find God within him or herself, rather than through clergy or rituals, the Shakers dedicated their lives to pursuing perfection and continuously confessing their sins.

Living in London, it's easy to get caught up in holiday daydreams. Besides the hustle and bustle of city life, the weather on this side of the pond has been somewhat, er, disappointing this summer. With rain every day and temperatures barely in the teens, I'm longing to escape the city for a country cottage or rustic farmhouse, somewhere where the sun is always shining and I can see rolling green hills from my window.

I always look forward to escaping the Missouri heat and humidity by heading back home to Vermont in the summer. There's nothing I'd rather do than tube down our clear (cold!) rivers, eat real maple creemies, and hike in the woods.
