I'm excited to present a post from guest writer, eco lifestyle expert, and all-around awesome guy Danny Seo. Today, he's here to walk you through some simple, smart tips for buying a new mattress.

I did a double take when I first saw this striking image on interior designer Amanda Nisbet's website, I couldn't tell from the first split second if the pink pattern was a wall treatment or an elaborate headboard. I suppose it's both, really. The architectural details of the ornate, wooden facade mimic a headboard brilliantly. I'm convinced, though, that a similar look could be achieved with Read more
When it comes to Valentine's Day, heart motifs run the gamut from cutesy to over-the-top romantic. Personally, I prefer a more subtle heart pattern when it comes to home decorating. That's why I love this beautiful Hand-Quilted Reversible Queen Quilt (originally $500, on sale for $400) from Harabu House. The quilt features a raj paisley design on one side, and a raj heart trinity design on the Read more
I'm excited to present a post from one of my favorite sites, Stylelist Home! There's something about the cold frost of Winter that makes us want to curl up under the covers and never leave our beds. In an act of dream fulfillment, we decided to search for the most relaxing bedrooms we could find. And let's just say cozy doesn't even begin to describe what we actually found.
