    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.

In the heart of Atlanta's prestigious Druid Hills, the former home of the woman who inspired Driving Miss Daisy seeks $2.7 million. 

Built in 1915, this French Provincial "masterpiece" was originally the property of Alfred and Clementine Montag. According to the property's listing, Driving Miss Daisy playwright Alfred Uhry has said the home once belonged to his beloved Aunt "Clemmie" and served as the play's inspiration and setting in his mind.

This 6,064-square-foot, six-bedroom, five-and-a-half-bathroom beauty boasts updated amenities without sacrificing any of its vintage charm. Set on 1.2 manicured acres, it has a carriage house as well as numerous outdoor spaces for entertaining.

The listing calls the main level "a master class in symmetry," and we struggle to disagree. The home's high ceilings, moldings, and abundance of light are all things that architect Neel Reid was famous for.
