    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.

Behold: the rare opportunity to own a piece of Hollywood history tucked away in one of the most beautiful corners of the South.Nineties kids and their parents will likely recognize the 131-year-old Captain's House in Old Town Fernandina Beach, Florida, as Villa Villekulla, the fictional home of Pippi Longstocking in the 1987 movie The New Adventures of Pippi Longstocking. Today, we can see why the one-of-a-kind residence is one of Fernandina Beach's most photographed homes. And it's currently on the market for just $750,000.This 2,220-square-foot home has so much more to offer than its claim to fame as the on-screen residence of everyone's favorite "freckle-faced redhaired girl." Sure, it needs a little work, but its quirky architecture, original details, and magnificent views of the Amelia River are worth a little elbow grease. And even don't get us started on all the stained glass!

As the Amelia Island History Museum explained to the Florida Times Union, the house, which falls somewhere between Victorian and Italianate in style, is known for having a “wider variety of gingerbread motifs, such as sunbursts, fish scales, clovers, brackets, globes, scallops, circles, diamonds and Maltese crosses, than any other in Fernandina Beach.”
