I Used to Wake Up Throughout the Night Until Sleep Number’s Latest Mattress
When you share a bed with someone, it’s possible that you’ll have different mattress preferences. At least, that’s the case for me and my fiancé, Jeremy. He’s a side and back sleeper, so he likes a firmer mattress, while I’m a stomach sleeper and like something softer that I can sink into. Our differing opinions became very apparent when I was testing mattress toppers for our Best List of mattress toppers, and Jeremy was naturally testing them with me.

A Renter-Friendly Redo Took a Mint Green Kitchen from Dated to Boho
A home — regardless of whether it’s rented or owned — should be a reflection of the people who live there. Content creator Élise needed that to be the case in her house, especially in the kitchen. When she moved in, the room had mint green cabinets and floral wallpaper, which she described as “grandma chic in a cutesy way.” It wasn’t going to work for her.

Look closely at the cabinets in Christina Riley’s kitchen. See anything weird?

7 Storage Finds to Get Your Whole Closet Organized for Under $40
The way your closet is organized can sometimes matter more than its actual size. You could have a huge walk-in closet, but if nothing is stored in a system that works for you then things will just end up in a pile on the floor. Alternatively, if you have a small closet and you’re not maximizing your storage then you’re sacrificing precious real estate. That’s where smart organizers come in handy.

When one room in a home gets a colorful redo, it’s hard to look at other neutral rooms and not think about making a change. After Jessie Estes (@jessiegirlhome) redid her daughter’s bedroom in a bright, colorful style, the nearby bathroom started to look a little lackluster.“There are only two words that can describe the before: plain Jane!” Jessie says.

They Ditched a Tub in Their Cramped Bathroom — It Was the Best Decision
When it comes to bathing habits, there are usually two camps: bath enthusiasts or strictly shower people. Luiza Frediani Oxley and her partner, Chris, fall into the latter group. So in the bathroom of their small London flat, the tub took up unnecessary space. “It felt cramped, lacked proper storage, and had a few underlying issues like worn finishes and general wear that made it feel tired rather than functional,” Luiza explains.

This Living Room Was Beige on Beige on Beige — Then They Built This
A good indication that a room needs a redo is the realization that you’re not using it to its full potential. For example, Sushma Samonini (@house_on_the_way) can’t really say there was anything wrong with the previous iteration of her UK living room.“But we found we weren’t really using the room well, either, as it was a confused mix of living room, playroom, and dumping ground,” Sushma says.

Skip the Boring Gift Bag — Use Vintage Scarves Instead
I might be great at picking out great housewarming gifts, but wrapping them up neatly is another story entirely. Most of the time I do a fine job, but I still always seem to end up with wrinkled, crinkled corners instead of neat, clean lines.I often default to gift bags for this reason, but they can be a little uninspiring at times. Plus, both of these methods can lead to a lot of paper waste.
