Before and After: A Thrift Shop Stool
This little stool was unearthed at a Jacksonville, FL thrift store and purchased for under $5. As you can see, its upholstery was not only in terrible shape, but quite dated, and the stool's wood frame was also badly damaged. It was simply begging for a little paint, fabric, and a DIY weekend!

Love It or Hate It? Chartreuse Tufted Headboard
Chartreuse is one of those colors that people have a hard time feeling neutral about. This Chartreuse Tufted Headboard ($1,709) is built on a maple frame that's been covered in tufted, chartreuse suede. Part of me loves it, but I doubt that I could handle the color — or decorating around the color — for very long. What about you? Love It or Hate It? Chartreuse Tufted Headboard Read more
Happy Hour: The Last Word
On Monday night I headed over to my favorite bar, 15 Romolo, to be a guest judge for a Gong-Show Karaoke competition.

But we all know Kate looks fab even when she's not all dolled up for an A-List event. What struck me about this photo wasn't Hudson's attire — the boxy Burberry dress isn't the most flattering — but the palette is awe-inspiring. I adore the chartreuse shade of this Read more

Definition: Chartreuse
Chartreuse A half green, half yellow color; it is precisely halfway between green and yellow, so it is 50% green and 50% yellow. It was named because of its resemblance to the green color of one of the French liqueurs called green chartreuse. DKNY's Fall 2007 collection had an eye-catching satin chartreuse dress (left), which is fun for the holidays. Source Read more
