I Gave My Boring Hallway a Colorful Makeover for Only $100

Anne-Marie Trabolsi — Thu, 05 Nov 2026 08:00:00 -0500

I’ve been a renter my entire adult life. Being a renter who loves color and maximalist style has always been a bit of a challenge, so mostly, my style has come from the furniture and tchotchkes I shove into my space.

Our hallway project started with a folding shelf I inherited from my grandparents. READ MORE...

Sarah Everett — Wed, 04 Nov 2026 18:00:00 -0500

One of the ’70s design staples that’s (unexpectedly) carried through to the 2020s? A disco ball, of course! And why not add one to your kitchen, like Nate Klass (@natedotklass) did when he transformed his kitchen into a 1970s-inspired oasis after the original didn’t fit the aesthetic he was going for. “The kitchen before was very early 2000s — dark wood IKEA cabinets, pink marble floor, and white subway tile backsplash,” Nate says.

Cheryl Fenton — Wed, 04 Nov 2026 09:30:00 -0500

I love a good vacation. My family and I just had an amazing one — we traveled to a wedding in Greece this past August. But upon returning home, I find that instead of feeling totally ready to tackle my life, I feel a little sluggish. It’s no wonder why that’s the case: There’s hectic travel time, an unfamiliar bed, living out of a carry-on, abandoned daily self-care rituals, and being go-go-go through foreign sites and situations.
