    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.

The American Boxwood Allee

The Big Idea:

Reclaiming this monument to classic Virginia garden design necessitated shearing the inside to open the 12-foot-tall tunnel for easier passage. At the far end, Camille removed several boxwoods that had died from disease. A new gravel pathway invites leisurely strolls down the allée.

The Plants: American boxwoods planted in the 19th century are maintained with regular fertilizing and mulching.

The Boxwood Parterre

The Big Idea:

A sloping side lawn offered the ideal place for a garden between a new porch and an arbor. Camille wanted a feeling of intimacy and shaded beauty without burdensome maintenance or worry that deer would eat everything.

The Plants: Boxwoods dominate this garden, with low-maintenance and deer-resistant evergreen foliage that provides structure and year-round interest. Two semicircular borders of 'Green Mountain' boxwoods set off a square of pea gravel planted with four white 'Natchez' crepe myrtles. 'Green Mountain' boxwoods are clipped into tight ovals and are also planted in large pots along the bluestone coping.

The Stone Garden Shed

The Big Idea:

The grass was high and the stone walls were falling down when Camille began to reclaim what looked like a meadow beside a charming stone garden shed. The shed, which matches the stone arches of the allée, had overgrown ivy blocking the door and windows. Camille cleared the ivy and replaced the old door.

The Plants: Over a hundred single and double herbaceous peonies in pink and white emerged in long borders after Camille cleared away brush and stones beside the fallen-down walls. The peonies are deer resistant and provide Tudor Grove's primary floral color.

The Arbor

The Big Idea:

Camille erected this arbor on the foundation of a tumbled-down cabin. On axis with the boxwood parterre, it lines up perfectly with the new porch. Here, it is seen from the side looking toward the American boxwood allée.

The Plants: 'Green Mountain' boxwood and serviceberry flank the sides. A 'Forest Pansy' Eastern redbud (above left) has heart-shaped purple-red leaves and offers a vivid contrast to the verdant spring foliage.
