Stop Using Your Notes App for Your Shopping List — Try This Practical Alternative Instead
I’m a big fan of making lists, but I’m still looking for the ideal list system to help keep my entire life organized. I’ve tried to-do list apps, Post-It notes, and a magnetic whiteboard on my fridge. I’ve sent texts and emails to myself and have made countless lists in my Notes app. All these list-making methods work okay, but I still feel like there’s some better way to keep track of everything.

I Painted My Shower Ceiling to Look Like Grand Central's Constellation Mural
People say bright ideas often come to them while taking a shower. But the shower ceiling in my vintage bathroom was where good ideas got lost. The blank, uninspired white square, punctuated by a tarnished flush mount, did nothing to inspire a brainstorm and was far from spa-like. I’d been dreaming of some sort of makeover that didn’t involve a full demo for more than a year. My go-to muse? The constellation ceiling of Grand Central Station’s main concourse in New York City.

A Kitchen Redo with Renter-Friendly Hacks Has the Right Amount of Drama
When Anna Ladd moved into her 100-year-old Philadelphia home, it had everything she was looking for. It still had some of its historical charm but had been renovated enough that it didn’t feel like an overwhelming project (this being her first home, after all). However, the kitchen, which was renovated in 2022 (after being “very 2000s beige,” as Anna describes it), was a bit over-renovated for her taste.

The 10 Best Storage Ideas for Small Spaces
Living in a small space comes with its own set of challenges, often including an overall lack of storage. That means you regularly have to come up with creative solutions to store things, whether it be adding a multi-functional piece of furniture or reimagining the way you currently use each room of your home. It’s all about finding ways to cleverly use the square footage you have or making sure you are bringing in items that’ll actually help, not hinder, your storage needs.

Jordan Smith knows most homeowners might raise eyebrows at her choice to remove the upper kitchen cabinets in her tiny kitchen.

A “Lifeless” Kitchen Got a European-Style Redo with a Pink Island
A vintage-inspired kitchen? We love to see it. But a dated kitchen? Hard pass. Daniela Sanchez, founder of Rose House Talent Agency, had a kitchen that fell into the latter category; in fact, the room (sans appliances) was original to the 1979 home. “‘Dated’ would be an understatement,” Daniela says of the original kitchen.

Let me be frank: I live in a one-bedroom, decently-sized Manhattan apartment with my husband and three pets. I have a proper living room, a kitchen with elongated cabinets for extra storage, and I have installed small-space hacks, like wall-mounted clothing racks, for ample functionality.

Stop Bringing Wine or Flowers to Parties — Give This Thrifted Swap Instead
One of the most challenging gift-giving scenarios for me is host and hostess gifts. I don’t want to show up to a party empty-handed, but I also don’t want to add even more stuff for the host or hostess to clean up and find a place for at the end of the night. Typically, I like to give people gifts that can be consumed — coffee, chocolate, candy, wine, or flowers.

The hard part, though, is finding those designated spots in the first place, especially since I have a lot of stuff in a small space. Often, I have to create them out of thin air.
