Choosing the right headboard is a critical decision when designing a bedroom. The advice I always give to people on where to start with a bedroom overhaul is with the bed.

Four-eyed since the 3rd grade, eyewear has been my staple accessory long before stilettos and statement necklaces. When oversized frames waltzed into trendy-ville, my inner nerd jumped for joy.

Readers- It may be the time of the year, but I’ve been a little down in the dumps lately. I do my best to keep positive, but sometimes when a string of bad luck comes your way you can’t help but whine “Why me!?”. When I was in my (very) early twenties, my roommate and I …

the city of minneapolis is about as far from the coast as you can get, so you might be surprised to hear that we take recreational boating very seriously up here. we may not live near an ocean, but we aren’t lacking beaches and lakes. let’s just say that they weren’t kidding when they coined the …
