    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.

Aiken Street | Plan #1807

When it comes to curb appeal, it's hard to beat a bungalow. Who doesn't love the hallmark front porches of these charming homes? Bungalows are usually one- or two-story structures built with practical proportions. This architectural style took off in the early 1900s, and a few signature features include a low-pitched roof, wide eaves, chunky millwork, and a deep front porch. Although its footprint is smaller than other styles of houses, a bungalow live large inside thanks to open concept floor plans. Take a look at nine of our favorite bungalow house plans.

It's all about outdoor living at the Beach Bungalow. Sweeping front and back decks flow right into the landscape, larger windows help establish the interior's connection with outside, and a terrace off the second-floor sleeping loft offers a bird's-eye view. The decks can be treated like additional living or dining rooms—everyone can grab a step to watch the sunset or dine outside.

Could you dream up a more charming Lowcountry cottage? The breezy front porch can act as an open-air living room; just close the shutters for privacy or protection from storms. The metal roof's wide overhang provides more shade on hotter days. Open the French doors and let the interior living spaces flow right out onto the front porch.

Four bedrooms, four-and-a-half baths
