    Is there anything more relaxing than a tranquil stay at a beach-front home? While it may be hard to venture off to a seaside escape, bringing under-the-sea-inspired home decor and the soothing colors of the ocean into your own living space is easily doable and beneficial to everyone. While an under-the-sea theme usually conjures up the bright colors and cartoon-like sea creatures reminiscent of Disney movies and kids' birthday parties, putting a more tasteful spin on things is easy! Subtle home accessories, peaceful colors and rich, quality materials make you home into a mini-beach front getaway, even if you live in the middle of the city.

    The colorblock craze is one that I like very much. There is nothing more sophisticated than that classic combo of black and white. Bright, solid hues matched with black or each other make for an eye-catching and fashionable ensemble. It's such an easy and appealing way to add interest and color, it's a wonder that it hasn't caught on in home decor as well. Be a trend-setter and apply this tried and true style statement to your home. You can choose a few of your favorite colors and use them in a number of accents. Throw pillows and rugs are an easy way to go and make boring rooms more colorful and energetic. Items like placemats and shower curtains are also fun and easy ways to spruce up your living space and give your home a harmonious theme without having to spend too much!

    Double, double, toil and trouble! Concoct the perfect witches' brew (or a totally harmless casserole that's just frighteningly festive) this Halloween season with the Witches' Kitchen Casserole Bowl from Unica. The black ceramic bowl can also be used as a regular serving bowl (snacks, candy, spooky side dishes -- you name it!) and is part of a sustainable line of limited-edition goods produced from eco-friendly materials. Sure, it's a little costly, but it's not so garishly Halloween-ish that you'd be forced to hide it in the cupboard until next year. It's universally sleek and stylish for kitchenware, but with the right seasonal decor and the perfect pointed hat, it's potion-ready!


    Price: $360
    Who Found It: xgalexy was the first to add the Witches' Kitchen Casserole Bowl to the Hive.

    It's time to spice things up at home, and not just in the bedroom either! While we would all love to be jet-setters and fly off to exotic places halfway across the world, it is not a possibility for many of us due to money, time or both. Although the mysticism of far away lands may be enticing, but not quite within reach at the moment, these sumptuous luxuries and richly saturated materials can be brought back and enjoyed in your own home. With ethnic African and safari-inspired prints that make your living area feel like a trip to the savannah, richly saturated and beautifully decorated rugs and home accents that make you feel like you're laying back in a Persian palace, and the minimalist sophistication of Asian-inspired pieces that help give you a peaceful and meditative state, you can take a trip around the world in the comfort of your own home. Click on the slideshow to see some home decor that will add the alluring glamour of distant destinations to your living space.

    Getting organized is the worst. I mean, there's the going through your stuff phase, the purge phase, the immediately-regretting-that-purge phase and then boom! Where are you going to put all this stuff? There are a lot of cute storage solutions right now, and I've put together a few of my favorites. I love this Axis Set of Nesting Boxes in Black Toile at Target. Imagine having all of your accessories neatly organized in these boxes sitting on the shelves in your closet? Delightful! For a great vintage, well-traveled look, why not use this Faux-leather Trunk as a side table in your living room? Extra credit if you can add some stickers of your favorite destinations. Check out my slideshow for lots of great home storage solutions!

    Clean Up Those Crumbs In A Snap With A Cute Mini Vacuum!

    It's a small world and we have to be as efficient with our space as possible. Whether we're in a small studio in the city or a nice little house in the suburbs, we could all use a little more space. One thing that I find completely unsightly and bulky is the vacuum cleaner. They're huge, noisy machines that are heavy and awkward to move around. Pushing the vacuum around the home is literally back-breaking work and often times, I find it's too much effort just to clean a small patch of dust. Plus, it's strangely shaped, and even occupies too much space in the back of the closet! It's almost 2010. Why can't they be smaller? And cuter? And why can't vacuuming be a fun activity? Well, Perpetual Kid sells a Mini Popcorn Crumb Vacuum that helps tidy up tiny messes of crumbs and dust. And when they say mini, they aren't kidding around. This vacuum is not only fun too look at and entertaining to use-- it only measures 4x3 inches! Plus, it's only $11.99, so go ahead, eat some cookies and forget the plate. You'll love busting this fun, cute, mini vacuum out just to see it in action! Not a fan of popcorn? There's a whole variety of fun, mini vacuums to choose from to help brighten up your living space and clean up your day. Just check out the slideshow!
