I have a lot of makeup, and it is one hell of a mess. I can never seem to keep track of anything, even in my delegated makeup bag, which is constantly overflowing and in need of serious reorganization. I can’t live this way anymore and I know I can’t be the only one! It seems I’ve dumped my kit onto the floor in a frantic search for eyeliner for the last time, because today over at QVC, I discovered this Tabletop Spinning Cosmetic Organizer. It claims to hold up to 100 pieces, and includes specially allotted space for things like compacts and lipstick tubes. Where has this thing been all my life? I’ll take five, please. [$27.50, QVC]

Too far, furniture designer. A Facebook bed goes too far. Facebook already dominates our life in making it all-too-easy to stalk our crush and our ex. It’s not something that needs to rock us off to Never Never Land as well. Fortunately, this Facebook bed is only a mockup. (Oh, and insert-your-own-”poke”-joke here.) [Neatorama]  Keep reading »

Domestic Inspiration: French Kitchen

Bitchin' In The Kitchen
All the Frisky's recipes and tips for Bitchin' in the Kitchen. Read More »

Growing up, my mother always decorated our home in a Provençal fashion, so I have an inborn love of the elegant style. I’m also infatuated with the idea of a French kitchen, though my culinary skills are limited to microwavable rice in a packet. In my opinion, there is no culture more inspiring than the French. I’ve never been to France and I don’t know many French people, so my idea of the country is more of, say, an educated approximation than a real understand. But so what, I say.  Whether you’re making a bowl of cereal or a delectable coq au vin (in which case I will be right over), you can have a touch of the blue, white, and red in your home too with these dining and kitchen wares. Let that le drapeau tricolore fly!

Why, Hello, Couch Of My Dreams

moody couch

I hate to diss your grandma’s Afghan, but it ain’t got nothing on this “Moody Couch.” That’s what designer Emelie Ernesting called her bed-cum-blanket-napstravaganza piece of furniture which looks like the warmest place ever to hibernate during the winter months. It’s the Snuggie of futons! The Slanket of couches! How long until IKEA brings out the $199 knockoff version? [Apartment Therapy]

Home Style Stealer: A Sleek Home Office With Pops Of Color!

Amelia McDonell-ParryJune 20, 2011 //

One of our favorite pastimes is drooling over what we call “interior design porn,” fantasizing about the day in which we, too, will have, say, a sunroom in our massive palatial estate. Until then, however, we aspire to spruce up the homes we’ve got, which is why all this week, we’ll be showing you how to prettify your place. One of the features we’ll be kickstarting with is a home decor twist on “Style Stealer,” in which we attempt to replicate the look and feel of rooms we think look super cozy and chic — but at a fraction of the cost of what the original owner probably paid. After the jump, find out how to get the look of this sleek and bright home office! Keep reading »

This Candle Holder Is For The Birds

Jessica WakemanJune 9, 2011 //

There’s so many ways to decorate with tea lights — from floating them in a bowl of water to illuminating fancy schmancy candle holders from Crate + Barrel. We prefer this fun canary from CB2 (Crate + Barrel’s funkier younger sister). It’s a pop of bright Tweetie Bird yellow to perk up any room of your house when it’s not lit, making it a conversation piece in its own right. But for your sake, we hope you don’t own any cats!

We All Scream For (Cold!) Ice Cream

Jessica WakemanMay 26, 2011 //

Jamie Oliver might not approve of noshing ice cream straight from the pint. Then again, Aunt Flo never visits Jamie once a month, does she? With the summer months fast approaching, a girl’s got to do her best to keep Cherry Garcia from melting into a drippy, sticky mess. But this ingenious ice cream pint chiller will keep your cold carton encased in aluminum while you stuff your face — and save you the trouble of washing an extra bowl. It’s perfect for those nights when ice cream won’t last outside the freezer longer than Britney’s Vegas marriage. (Tampons and “The Notebook” DVD sold separately.)

Are You Guilty Of Housesnarking?

Stylelist HomeMay 8, 2011 //

I’ll admit: I ended a friendship based on their comments about a chair cushion.

It was my housewarming party: 15 people swirling through my new apartment among perfectly-fluffed throw pillows and newly painted lavender walls. I’d pulled things together in two weeks, just before my birthday so that I could celebrate the new place and my new age together.

My friend walked in, gave me a hug and as she looked over my shoulder towards the apartment she whispered: “It’s cute! But so small.” She grabbed some wine and plopped onto one of my newly upholstered seats. “Can you believe Amy reupholstered those herself?” asked my lovely friend Katie. “Um, yes,” said the friend. “They’re pretty light on padding. I’m guessing it was a rush job.” Read more… Keep reading »
