An All-White Kitchen Is Now a Colorful Miami-Inspired Escape

We’ve seen a lot of interiors inspired by trips around the globe. It makes sense to want to bottle that feeling the adventure left you with and spread it around your home. Take homeowners Caroline and Julien, for example: They wanted the kitchen in their London house to reflect their Miami Beach holiday. The best person for the job? Designer Justine Guillermou. The couple hired the color-forward designer to help revamp their home, which was “a lot of white and gray.

I Put This Fly Trap on Every Window in My Living Room

The day when curbside trash pickup happens on my block is probably my most hated day of the week. Where I live, refuse (trash) is collected once a week, so homeowners are expected to bring out their large gray trash bins on pickup day, which translates to a lot of flies hanging around. Once trash is collected, the flies still linger, which means I often see an influx of flies invading my house.

A Lifeless 1980s Kitchen Is Now a Colorful Oasis with One Original Detail

When homeowners Heath and Samantha Mitchell moved into their cottage-style home in Sydney, Australia, they loved the charming historic details. The colors in the kitchen, though? Not so much. “Our ‘before’ kitchen had golden timber-look cabinetry, yellowing tiles and walls, and a dark gray speckled benchtop,” Samantha said. “The handles and knobs were black and gothic-like, and there were even black dragon fixtures at the entry.

When your life is already changing exponentially, and you’re taking on a brand new adventure, why not add one more task to your already very full plate?At least, that was Elisabeth Edelman’s thinking when she purchased her 1950s Cape Cod home. “I had just sold my PR firm, had a baby on my own, and was setting out to write a novel and get published,” Elisabeth shares.

This Trick Stops Me from Impulse Buying at Thrift Stores

It can be easy for me to get swept up by the wonder and whimsy of a thrift store. There’s so much stuff to dig through and so many unique items that can be tempting to bring home, especially when the thrift store has just restocked. I used to struggle with decision fatigue in the store and often left feeling guilty — sometimes I’d feel guilty for not buying something or I’d feel guilty for buying it.I love to thrift, so I knew something needed to shift.

She Put a 5-Tier Bookshelf on Her Fridge, and It Created Storage Out of Thin Air

When you don’t have a lot of traditional storage space like cabinets and closets in your home, it’s usually wise to start looking at your walls as a storage solution. Unfortunately, thanks to appliances like your fridge and oven, your kitchen may not have a lot of wall space to spare. But maybe you’ve been thinking about it all wrong. After all, what is the side of a fridge but a giant magnetic wall?

These 4 Over-the-Top '80s Bathroom Trends Are Back

Ah, the ’80s: A time when design trends were over-the-top, and everything was glamorous. Black marble. Bright brass. Glass blocks. Whether it was a penthouse in New York or a suburban home on a cul-de-sac in Nebraska, the design style was big and bold. There’s no doubt that the design trends that followed were a reaction to this era; by the early 2000s, neutral stone-look tile and soft brushed nickel took over.

Dark Teal Cabinets Completely Changed This Dark, Dreary Kitchen

In the world of kitchen remodeling, there are entirely DIY projects (like this ‘80s kitchen makeover), while some transformations require professional help (and there’s no shame in that!).However, some unique makeovers are so hands-off, they take place while the homeowner is living in an entirely different country — at least, that was the case for Sonia Blair’s Latin American home. Blair owns a home in Mazatlan, Mexico, but lives in Colorado.

Italian “Sea Stools” Are the Versatile, Mid-Century Find Every House Needs

Long ago, I started skipping keychains and T-shirts while on vacations and opted for vintage goods as souvenirs instead. That’s why I always look for secondhand stores on my travels. On a recent trip while my husband and I were wandering the streets of Lucca, Italy, we happened upon an adorable antique shop named Benedetta Bodega. There, I found something a bit more unorthodox compared to what I usually buy (original art or antique tins, for instance): a chipped wooden stool.

Early 2000s Brown Kitchen Cabinets Look Unrecognizable After a DIY Redo

Sometimes a kitchen renovation might modernize a space, but the contemporary changes don’t necessarily fit the home’s aesthetic. That was definitely the case in Yvonne Langen and Michael Rizk’s colorful Canadian home.When they originally bought the house, “the kitchen featured reddish-orange cabinetry, a mottled brown laminate countertop, white appliances, and beige/brown ceramic tiles on both the floor and backsplash,” Langen explains.

It’s not that Detroit-based interior designer Christie Kristl didn’t like the updated kitchen in her 1963 home, but it didn’t exactly scream fun. The hardware, countertops, and cabinets were all fine, so they stayed put.But thankfully, when the previous owners updated everything in 2018, they didn’t bother with any backsplash — so Christie got to make the call.

This Mini Birdfeeder Is Like a Cute Cafe for Birds

I’ve never considered myself a bird person. But a few years ago, when I spent a few months in Vermont, my sister-in-law’s Bird Buddy bird feeder — and all of the birds it attracted every single day — was the highlight of my long-term stay. I’ve held off on getting a bird feeder in my Brooklyn apartment for a few reasons (mainly, my fear of attracting rats and my lack of an elevated-enough outdoor space).

But the standard closet is not necessarily ideal for storing small accessories and trinkets, which can quickly turn into a pile of clutter. In a recent video, content creator Taylor Joy Riley proposes a clever closet organization solution in the form of … a wine rack. Yes, really.
