With winter fast approaching, now is the time to redesign anything at home that’ll set you up for remote work success. Days will soon be getting shorter, and for some, the weather will be getting chillier, so tips that’ll help you stay focused, productive, and uplifted indoors are worth incorporating into your space.

There’s no denying that climate change is real—2020 alone has brought record-shattering wildfires and hurricanes.

Long-term effects can

Creating a healthy relationship with money isn’t something that can be done overnight. Even if you were raised by people who taught you how to budget (and maybe even explained how compound interest works), you may not fully understand the intricacies of budgeting until you have a huge financial goal you want to meet, like buying a

When it comes to picking out furniture or home decor, it can be easy to get hung up on “the one.” The Eames lounge chair you’ve wanted for forever. That bold Ettore Sottsass mirror you spotted on Instagram and now can’t imagine your living room without. The perfect and pricey bedframe, the ideal designer sectional couch in a luxe fabric,

Years ago, after both of my grandparents passed away, I opened up a storage unit in San Francisco to store some things of theirs (plus a few of my own). All relics from a past life that I thought I’d want with me in a future life I didn’t yet have a glimpse of. Years

The copper pot was on sale: $250 down from $1,200, because the chic Italian couple who owned the store couldn’t afford Williamsburg rent anymore and were going back to Turin. It was heavy and gleaming, and I wanted it, but $250 for a cooking utensil? I told myself this copper pot was really an essential part of

You know the drawer: It’s to the left of your sink, or the right of your stove, and it is full. You might have resigned yourself to the idea that’s it’s a magnet for old receipts, expired gift cards, gum, or leftover takeout ketchup packets—but it doesn’t have to be! In fact, your junk drawer can actually be useful, but for

As you’re spending more time at home, you might develop a need to organize more than ever before (*raises hand*).
