    Add Some Scottish Influence With Houndstooth Home Decor

    image

    Houndstooth always reminds me of Sherlock Holmes and pants that chefs always wear, but lately I've been seeing it in a variety of places. The print may have originated in the woven wool cloth of the Scottish Lowlands, but it has universal appeal in any way you can find the print whether it's on clothing or furniture. In the home, it can be an unexpected accent amidst monochrome colors or even floral prints. Don't be afraid to mix and match because it can definitely work as a neutral. Add some to your dining room table with the Houndstooth Placemats found at World Market for less than $6 for a set of 4! For a more subtle houndstooth print, go for the Anywhere Sofa in Modern Houndstooth which features a teeny tiny houndstooth pattern. Click on my slideshow to see more!

    I'm super happy to be bringing back Stylehive's much loved (by me, at least) Decor Deals feature! The sale highlights found here are not to be missed. They say that good things come to those who wait, right? Well, I'm definitely glad that I wait for things to go on sale when I shop. I'm not talking about a measly 20% or 30% off either! I do the bulk of my shopping when the discounts reach 50% off or more. When it comes to home decor, it's even better to wait because you never have to worry that they'll run out of your size. One of my favorite picks is the Chair Art Insert from West Elm which are only $4.99 and are guaranteed to bring a little whimsy to your walls. Another fabulous deal is the unique laser cut rug that will transform any room in an instant. Take a look at my slideshow to see the rest of the steals!

    Hot In The Hive: Food Print Bowls

    Have you ever been tricked by a mirror? No, I'm not talking about those dressing room mirrors that make anyone look like Gisele. I'm talking about mirrored walls that make rooms look bigger or half-filled mirrored bowls that make it seem like it's filled with endless treats. Yup, I've definitely gotten tricked by mirrors! This time, it's not a mirror that has tricked me, but trompe l'oeil print instead. I found these food print bowls from Dutch by Design and was instantly charmed by them. The outside of the bowls look quite ordinary, but once you peek inside, a convincing print of popcorn, chips, salad greens, french fries, and more can be seen. I can imagine filling the popcorn bowl with popcorn and watching my friends try and get the last kernel only to be tricked! The hard part is deciding which one to get!

    Small Space Storage Solutions For The Closet-less Fashionista

    Lately I've been looking at apartments with some friends who are looking to move to a new place. While many have spacious kitchens, lots of windows, and large bedrooms, I've found that some have tiny closets or no closet at all! I'm certainly not a fan of using the hallway closet to hold all of my clothes along with the vacuum cleaner, but there are definitely options that can keep your clothes safely in your room. If you have a small closet, keep all your dresses, shirts, and pants inside the closet. Then make the most of your free wall space by adding something like the Fleur-De-Lys Hook Rack to hang your jackets and coats. For larger storage solutions for the closet-less, go for an armoire like this bamboo wardrobe (cute dog not included). An armoire may seem like a fortune to spend, but if you get a quality piece you love, you'll keep it forever. Lastly, for the minimalist (in style and budget), a simple rolling rack may do just fine for less than $20. Take a peek at my slideshow to see it all!

    Hot In The Hive: Jonathan Adler Mr. and Mrs. Muse Salt And ...

    These days, I'm getting invited to fewer wild parties and going to more subdued wedding showers and housewarming parties instead. Well... they seem more subdued until someone drinks one too many wine coolers and the rest is Facebook infamy. Anyway, the point of the story is that I'm no longer expected to bring a six-pack of cheap beer. Instead, I have to buy a real gift that they'll actually want to use. That's why I've been falling back on the creative genius of designer Jonathan Adler and buying all his cute creations. My latest find is the Mr. and Mrs. Muse salt and pepper shakers. These super adorable salt and pepper shakers is a great choice for a housewarming or hostess gift for any quirky friends you may have. As the night wanes and I have the urge to be a little immature, I can always bring the two shakers together and have them make kissy faces. Please, don't tell me you didn't think of that too!

    Hot In The Hive: Flat Flower Vases

    I bet you're the type of person who gets lots of flowers delivered to you on a regular basis. Whether it's your significant other sending a dozen roses to celebrate your anniversary or your best friends delivering a birthday bouquet, your home always smells like a garden. So I can also understand why you've also run out of vases to store the beautiful flowers. I've seen makeshift vases from small mason jars, milk boxes, and even wine bottles. While those options may do its job, it certainly doesn't do the flowers (or the giver) any justice! Then again, it's not like we have tons of storage space for glass vases under the kitchen sink. Well, I've found a perfect solution and they're called Flat Flower Vases! These vinyl vases lie flat, but when you need to use them, just fill it up with water and you're ready to go.
