However, I love trinkets and fun, kitschy decor, so I definitely have a soft spot for the Cracker Barrel General Store. And while normally I’d say it’s too early for holiday decorations, there’s a viral stacked book Christmas tree decor item for sale at the chain that just might change my mind.

I Put This Freezer Staple in My Bathroom Instead for Practical Storage Organizing

My apartment isn’t all that small, aside from the bathroom. With virtually no built-in storage, my tiny countertop easily becomes a chaotic mess of toiletries, cotton swabs, floss picks, nail clippers, and eye drops no matter how often I tidy up. For the longest time, I thought that’s just how it would always be. Then, inspiration struck in the most unexpected place: my local gym.

This Kitchen Redo Looks Major — But She Changed Just One Big Thing Home Projects

The 1960s gave the world a lot of groovy stuff—think bean bag chairs, Sputnik light fixtures, and funky colors like avocado and mustard. But some of the decor looked a lot better back in the 1960s than it does today.Case in point: Anna Westbury’s dark wood kitchen, original to her 1968 home.
