    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.

Clint Harp Lists His Unforgettable Home from Fixer Upper Season 1

One of the most iconic homes in Fixer Upper history is for sale!

The one-and-only Harp House from season one (you know, the one that got us all hooked on the HGTV series) recently hit the market in Waco, Texas.  

In the show's sixth episode, Magnolia carpenter Clint Harp purchased the ramshackle historic home next door to his woodworking shop for just $10,000. Chip and Joanna Gaines took the crumbling, garbage-filled structure and stripped it down to its bones, saving only a few floor planks. With hard work, sweat, and some tears—plus furniture and custom built-ins made by Clint himself—the transformation was truly incredible.

"The Harps had a ball teaming up with Chip and Joanna Gaines designing, restoring and bringing this gem of a home built in 1913 back to all its splendor," the listing boasts.

Harp and his family lived in the 2,738-square-foot, five-bedroom house from 2014-2016 before converting it into a rental property.

Today, it is listed by Martha Kate Gunn of Camille Johnson Realtors for $899,000. The price includes all furniture and furnishings in the home, all the way down to the towels and linens. But, if you ask us, the Harp House's real treasures can be found in the kitchen, which features a large island, vent hood, and breakfast table all built by Clint and his crew.
