When it comes to decorating, Halloween is hands down the best holiday—so if you’re throwing a Halloween party, you better be ready to go all out. This is not the season to practice subtlety or restraint! One of the best things about decorating for a Halloween party is that there […]
You’ve probably noticed that it’s getting a little colder outside. Sure, for a few weeks, you were able to live in denial (“It’s still suitable flip flop weather!”, you protested), but now, not even you can deny the fact that it’s getting downright chilly outside—and inside, too. Yes, the time […]
It’s easy to fall in love on holidays. With décor, that is. Take that beachy Cape Cod cottage: muted blues and greys! Antique lobster traps! Nautical accents everywhere! Who could blame you for heading straight to the local boutiques and stocking up on charming seaside home décor items. Yet, that gorgeous […]

Leaving home for the first time is an exciting milestone. The freedom! The responsibility! The potential for décor! For possibly the first time in your life, you have complete control over the way your home/apartment/dorm room looks—save for budgets, landlords, and roommates. Ah, roommates. You’ll laugh together, you’ll cry […]
