Good article! I really need to do a purge of my kitchen gadgets, but I'm dreading it.

Just as far as the makeup part goes, though...

You really don't want to consult with a makeup person at the counter in a department store. Most of the people selling in a department store want to sell you the absolute maximum amount of product they can get you to leave with. For anyone who already might be lacking in their knowledge about makeup products, they're likely to get taken advantage of. You'd be much better off to read some minimal makeup guides online, and then go into a store with a list of what you're looking for and stick to the list.

Everyone is different, but most people who want to be fully prepared, but still keep their makeup collection small can get away with owning just a foundation, a light powder (or concealer), a mascara, a dual eyeshadow or small eyeshadow kit, and a lip gloss.

The part about throwing the older stuff away is SO IMPORTANT, so thanks for including that!

I live in Missouri, and I can relate to not giving an outdoor rug more than a passing thought. Stonework would be far more practical!! The first picture is by far my favorite, and I don't think it would take very long to settle on a little design. I have a sizable yard, but it wouldn't be a huge commitment space-wise to work something like the stepping stones into one of my smaller gardening areas.

I would put a really large round mirror in that space. Preferably one with a some color or a pattern on the frame. It will open up the space and take away some of the starkness of those moldings. If you end up going with a square or rectangular mirror, get something without a frame.

You should also consider painting the square bit of wall above the fireplace in some kind of accent color (maybe a soft blue shade to bring out the marbling in the fireplace?). I think it will draw the eye upward and highlight the fireplace as the centerpiece of the room.

I'm so glad to read this article! We were pretty furious when we heard about this happening, mostly because they've increased the price already in the past year. I think we're going to keep streaming until we run out of good stuff, and then cancel all together. I'd rather just keep HBO at this point.

Well, this is definitely not the color of a honeysuckle, so that's kind of weird! I'm pretty sure I would have preferred the actual color of a buttery honeysuckle to this jarring pink-red.

I like the blue door, but the all encompassing black is a little jarring. I think the concept of having the house black is a cool and modern, but I would have liked to have seen SOME kind of accent color on the house to properly show off the architectural details.

I preferred the bright orange fabric chair against the exposed brick. It had pizazz!

The neutral fabric is lovely in an understated way, and it's definitely a more grown up choice for the chair. Still, I can't help but feel like it lost some of its pop factor.

Apart from that, the rest of the room is nicely styled.

I love the look of a vintage radio, especially in the kitchen. I've been on a request to find the perfect one for mine, but I just haven't stumbled across it yet.

Thanks for including some thriftier choices in the mix, too.

I bought a similar kitchen cart at an antique joint out in the boonies for 8 bucks. It's slightly taller than this one, and in better shape overall, but it (sadly) doesn't have the polished metal legs. I've been meaning to redo it for a couple of years now, and this cute B/A has definitely inspired me to give it a go already!

These would have worked much better as an art installation. They just aren't practical for what they're intended for, even though the idea is cute.
