    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.

Texas has only three homes designed by the inimitable Frank Lloyd Wright. But if you're a fan of the famed architect and have a serious stockpile of green to spare, this stunning property designed by John Covert Watson, a FLW apprentice may be for you. Perched in Austin's Hill Country, Retreat at Lick Creek Lodge, boasts an eye-catching hyperbolic paraboloid roof design, plentiful glass for breathtaking views, a pool, a guest lodge, and details that would make an art history professor swoon. 

"What I love about the home is that upon arrival you are immediately transported on a journey of nature and art. It really helps you switch gears from this hectic life and provides a shareable space for your collections that is a piece of art in itself," says listing agent Susan Barringer of Kuper Sothebys International Realty. "You can hide away on your own secluded perfectly private swim-up deck in the unbelievable cliff encompassed pool and be out of reach, yet be within minutes of the action in Austin." With an asking price of $17.5 million, luxury sure doesn't come cheap, but prepare to be dazzled by this unique build — even if it's just in the form of a quick virtual escape.
