I Never Buy Fresh Flowers Because This $11 Trader Joe’s Pick Is So Much Better

If there are fresh flowers in my kitchen, it’s because my husband bought them — for himself. I have zero patience for cut flowers. They are expensive and last mere days, progressively getting slimier with each passing hour. In the end, I have to deal with dead flowers that won’t fit in my compost bin, and a smelly vase that’s impossible to clean. When I see fresh flowers, all I see is unnecessary work. To be clear, I don’t hate flowers, just dying ones.

Small Space Ideas from an Iconic 1920s Dutch Design Home

At the edge of the charming Dutch town of Utrecht, nestled between traditional 20th-century homes and a highway overpass, lies a house that’s all planes, lines and pops of primary color. Built in the 1920s by architect Gerrit Rietveld in collaboration with his partner (in both love and design) Truus Schröder-Schräder, the building does for architecture what Mondrian did for art: It pares it down to form and color.
