    The Coziest Winter Nail Colors for January 2022

    The Coziest Winter Nail Colors for January 2022

    The beginning of a new year often has us all feeling like starting off fresh by taking on better habits, getting rid of old ones, and—most commonly—changing up our look. While others are hitting the squats and going into the salon for a pixie cut, why not start slow and steady with a cozy winter manicure in a color that feels new to you? It takes only a little courage to step outside your usual OPI Lincoln Park After Dark or Essie Bordeaux, which is all you need to kick 2022 off on a fanciful foot.  From new wintry takes on classic dark nail colors to unique pops of color that'll have you feeling the opposite of boring, these are the best nail colors to try this January and tick off all the way into spring.

    16 Kitchen Design Trends Southern Designers Predict Will Be Everywhere in 2022

    16 Kitchen Design Trends Southern Designers Predict Will Be Everywhere in 2022

    There's no denying how the pandemic fundamentally changed the world—including how we live (and work) inside our homes. An overall trend toward celebrating the history and originality of our homes is displacing ultramodern aesthetics and sharp lines as we all look to create cozier, colorful, more personalized spaces that better suit our lifestyles. We're turning away from big-box stores and toward vintage items—first, out of necessity due to supply-chain issues, and now, for design reasons—to add charm and character to every room in the house, including the kitchen. Here, interior designers from around the South share their predictions for what's trending in kitchen design for 2022 and beyond.

Metallic Jars Turned Vases

If there a few things that collectively define a Southerner, I'd dare to say that Mason jars are right up there with casseroles and SEC football. After weekends spent whipping up Dad's famous pear preserves, my family at least is guaranteed to have dozens of Mason jars laying around just begging to be crafted into something beautiful, and/or fall prey to my latest Pinterest project. These pretty and practical jars hold the solution to all of your organizational needs. Makeup brushes need a home? Mason jar. Craving an herb garden by the window? Mason jar. Your old tissue box just isn't doing it for you anymore? You guessed it—Mason jar. The best news? In a world full of Pinterest projects gone wrong, most of the time there is literally no way to mess up Mason jar crafts. These simple projects are no match for a determined do-it-yourselfer with a can of chalk paint in one hand and a cup of sweet tea in the other. We've poured over pages and pages of Pinterest (hey, somebody had to do it!) to round up the very best Mason jar crafts out there. Craft now, and thank us later.
