    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.

14 Craftsman-Style House Plans We Can't Get Enough Of

This Old House Cottage, Plan #1873
Credit: Southern Living
Craftsman-style homes are some of our favorites because of their distinctive style and architectural details. These styles started popping up in the early 1900s as a way to show off the skills and time-honored techniques of American artisans. Because of this, they have a charming, hand-crafted, and one-of-a-kind appearance that many people have come to love.Not familiar with the craftsman style? These homes can usually be spotted because of the horizontal lines, low pitched gable roofs with large overhangs, exposed beams, wide window casings, and a welcoming, elevated front porch. Homes built in a craftsman-style commonly have heavy use of stone and wood on the exterior, which gives many of them a rustic, natural appearance that we adore. Take a look at these 14 charming house plans in the craftsman style we adore.
