    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.

Pops of Pink and Orange

“It all started with my favorite flower—the peony,” says Senior Photo Stylist Buffy Hargett Miller. “I just love its vibrant pink color.” We took that ever-so-popular feminine hue and turned up the volume by including a range of different shades, from deep magenta to soft blush. To keep the setting fresh and not too frilly, we worked in pops of orange with the accent plates and serving bowls. “Having fun with color inspires me. Don’t be afraid to mix bright, bold shades of the same hue. It adds so much depth,” says Buffy.

The Napkin Treatment

Repurpose buttons to create place cards with glue, card stock, and sheer ribbon. Cut the paper into 2- by 1-inch rectangular strips, and attach pieces of ribbon with glue. Sew or glue a button onto each ribbon, and then place on a rolled napkin.

The Tablescape

Start with simple white dishes. Add a splash of color by topping them with patterned accent plates for a punch of pizzazz. Finish off the look with blush-toned glassware in various shapes, sizes, and styles. To keep the table setting from feeling too fussy, we chose understated yet elegant gold-rimmed stemless glasses and Champagne flutes.

The Centerpiece

An ombré arrangement is easy to create. Place a dampened block of florist foam into a vessel. Then, working in groups of three, insert white garden roses into one side of the florist foam. Next, place light pink roses and ranunculus

in the center. On the remaining side, add deep pink peonies. Fill in any gaps with greenery.
