    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!

    For my fall wardrobe, I've been looking to include animal prints whether it's a luxurious leopard print jacket or zebra print flats. However, these sultry prints can't stay confined to your closet! Your home can always use some animal prints. Thankfully, you don't need to go to a safari or harm any poor creatures to put some animal prints in your home. From your living room to the bathroom, you can easily add a touch of the wild side to every room. Take a look at these animal print chenille toss pillows. They're super soft, less than $20, and sure to liven up a plain sofa. Serve up a meal on zebra printed plates which are bound to make your regular meat and potatoes meal seem a bit more exciting than usual. Like a lot of other decadent things in life, animal prints should always be used in moderation. If not, then you run the risk of looking like Austin Powers decorated your pad. Take a peek at my slideshow to see how you can bring the animal kingdom into your home!

    Hot In The Hive: Reminder Rug

    If I had a dollar for every time I've waltzed out of the house in the morning without my keys, wallet, or phone (or a tragic combination of all of the above), I'd probably have enough money to simply buy a replacement of whatever I forgot at home on the way out. Unfortunately, since there is no Forgetfulness Fairy to reward my flighty morning-rush behavior, I could use a little helpful reminder to make sure I have all my necessities before I dash out the door. Luckily, Urban Outfitters knows what's up and came up with the brilliant Reminder Rug, designed to help start your mental checklist. It's the perfect doormat (with nice, big lettering so your eyes can't skip over it as you step), and even if you've never forgotten a thing in your life, it's still pretty cute as a cheeky addition to your apartment decor!


    Price: $18
    Who Found It: xgalexy was the first to add the Reminder Rug to the Hive.

    Many of us have resolved to spend less in 2009 and I like to think that all the post-holiday sales are working in our favor. Whether it's scoring that perfect wool coat for 75% off at your favorite department store or marching from sample sale to sample sale to find brag-worthy items to show your friends, being smart with your money is very "in." Many times though, we forget about shopping for our home for whatever reason, but it doesn't mean it's no less important. Besides, wouldn't you want a home just as stylish as the contents of your closet? While this "recessionista" trend is in, there's no need to exclusively shop from the ever ubiquitous Swedish home furnishing store (you know the one I'm talking about). You can still get high quality goods at a huge discount if you know where to look! Get 4 martini or white wine glasses for less than $15 at Macy's or upgrade that bare bulb in your living room with a chic chandelier inspired by nature. To see more home bargains you'll be proud to show off, click the slideshow.

    Just because the economy is in the dumps doesn't mean your style has to take a turn for the worse. But are you tired of cutting up your credit cards after you decorate your home?

    Home Style: Give Your Pad That 60s, Mad-Men Look!

    If you're as obsessed with Mad Men as I am you've probably, like me, taken to wearing full skirts with ladylike blouses lately and started fantasizing about shag rugs and in-office bars (and two-martini lunches). If you're really obsessed - and who could blame you, those sets are fabulous- you might even be thinking about redoing your pad in Mad Men's Mid-Century Modern style. The Mid-Century look was all about clean lines and unpretentious functionality - add in some era-appropriate accessories like a corded rotary phone, a Olivetti manual typewriter, and a flowery apron hanging in the kitchen, and you'll be well on your way to living la vida Mad Men! Want to create a 60s makeover on a budget? Check out my slideshow of Urban Outfitters finds that look as though they were whisked straight from the set of Mad Men!
