    Sitting Pretty: Chic And Comfortable Tufted Furniture

    Unlike many of my friends, I actually like firm furniture and beds. If I sleep on a soft and mushy bed, I wake up with a sore back. Guess I could blame it on my semester abroad in Taiwan where I slept on a bamboo mat for four months. Hard as a rock beds and wooden furniture are now my priorities when shopping for my home. That's when I discovered the beauty of tufted furniture! I know tufted pieces can seem really old fashioned and taken right out of Versailles, but I can imagine just getting one or two and having it look super chic with my minimalist (read: IKEA) furniture. Best of all, it's a nice balance between firm and soft. I really like the convertible couch found over at PB Teen which doubles as a sofa and a full size bed, and this velvet ottoman from Brocade Home which does triple duty as an ottoman, coffee table, and extra seating. I can imagine Goldilocks finding tufted furniture "just right." Take a look at my slideshow for more!

    Whether you're hosting an intimate party for two or a little less exclusive party for 200, it's time to plan the decorations for your Valentine's Day celebration. While I've found a bunch of heart and love-themed decor accents and accessories that may seem a little too saccharine sweet, they're ok in low doses. A silver-plated sentiment picture frame from Pottery Barn is a nice reminder of your sweetheart. Fresh from a breakup and don't have a special someone this year? Someone out there may have the "key to a broken heart" or at least have one hanging on your wall. Curious to see how you can decorate your home for the most romantic day of the year without causing a bad toothache? Take a peek at my slideshow!

    My favorite aspect of art deco-style home decor has to be the ultra-glam mirrored furnishings. Not only can you see your fabulous self reflected in them, but mirrored pieces catch light, making rooms appear more spacious and bright. They also come in styles perfect for every living space from bathroom to bedroom and traditional to modern. Considering bringing one of these sparkly pieces into your home? Well, Stylehive can help! We've seen a fair share of mirrored chests of drawers, but lately the Hive has also been chock-full of unique mirrored home statement pieces and accessories. From a pair of versatile mirrored storage cubes to an affordable reflective glass tray, and even an old Hollywood-style entertainment cabinet, the Hive has tons of reflective home decor options.
