    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.

Antique Kitchen with Family-Friendly Design

Kelly Herron confesses to ushering guests right through the front door and directly into her kitchen. “The first time we saw our kitchen, we were blown away by the space’s design and custom work!” Kelly exclaims.

This busy family of five needs a kitchen that can handle the hustle and bustle of weeknight meals and still look good for entertaining. Most importantly, the kitchen has to be a suitable cooking laboratory for Keith and the kids. It’s not unusual to find the family on a mission to conjure up new recipes for taste-testing.

The Layout

The Layout
Credit: Photography by Laurey W. Glenn,

Interior designer Grei Hinsen (615/383-6440) designed a workable and user-friendly kitchen that flows seamlessly with the rest of the home by using a U-shaped layout centered around a large island. To expand the room visually, all appliances and storage areas are hidden behind handsome cream cabinetry. Determined to use every inch, he placed a recessed china cabinet in a wall underneath the staircase.

1. Heated, cushion-cut travertine marble floors keep everyone’s feet warm.

2. Two dishwashers help with cleanup. One is for smaller dishes and glassware; the other, for bigger pots and pans.

3. Built-in ovens are located out of the way of traffic.

4. Two pullout pantry cabinets flank the refrigerator.

Secondhand Find

Previous homeowner Amy Jackson Smith admits she is “always on the hunt for the next big find.” One of her best discoveries, several tons of old marble blocks salvaged from a historic theater being torn down in Nashville, is the showstopper of this kitchen. Honed into 3-inch-thick countertops and a herringbone-patterned backsplash, the marble has a rich luster that gives the room an immediate sense of age. “Visitors all say, ‘I’ve never seen countertops so thick!’ And they haven’t stained at all!” says Kelly.

Amy continued the old-world feel with another find: 6-foot-tall antique French windows complete with original hardware that she had refitted for a built-in china cabinet. “Everyone is drawn to the custom china cabinet. I especially love that the base is outfitted with Pacific Silvercloth for storing my silver,” says Kelly.
