Do You Have "Decoration" Towels? We've all encountered them — fancy towels meticulously rolled up in baskets on someone's bathroom counter or hanging beside a shower. They're nice and all, but a little too nice to actually use, so we end up wiping our hands dry on our own clothing, wondering why the hell anyone would bother placing "off-limits" towels near a fully functional sink.
Celebs. We want to look like them, dress like them, meet them, discuss them, know everything about them, and
sometimes, be them! If you're a loyal Casa reader, you've probably seen my This Just In and Coveted Crib posts, which give you a little sneak peek into their homes. But, have you thought about how much they're spending on these decadent digs? I have! So, I've rounded up 20 celebrity homes ranging from $999,999 to $2,999,000 for you to drool over. Check out this slideshow to see how much Johnny Depp dropped on his 150-year-old estate in the English countryside and first-time-buyer Lauren Conrad leveraged for her home on the Hollywood flats!

You needn't have sand below your feet or be rocking about on a sailing ship to enjoy a springtime siesta on a hammock. The rope mesh makes for a comfy lounging spot that'll give your garden or porch a new function. Hammocks range in price vastly, from about $30 to over $200. So, claiming one for yourself doesn't have to strain your budget. If you haven't already, I highly recommend penciling some hammock time into your Spring schedule. Source
I've been seeing a lot of designs lately that seem to be inspired by The Book of Plants, a gorgeous coffee-table book documenting flowers grown in a stunning, historical German garden. Whether it's in the way a lovely wall vase is displayed, or in the scientific-specific line drawings on a dish towel, there's no denying that The Book of Plants is germinating interest. Are you a fan of this botanical style, or is it too flower filled for your tastes?
Hi! I'm in the market for a full-length mirror for the master bedroom in our new house and figured that you and your readers might have some ideas. (I want something that won't break the bank but also something that doesn't look like it's for a college dorm.)
I'm all about making something out of nothing, and artist KS Rives takes that philosophy one step further by making something beautiful out of nothing anyone wants: trash.
Whether through the use of old maps of Paris, discarded rubber bands and public transit tickets, or even cigarette butts, KS Rives takes something that no one wants and transforms it into a highly desirable work of art.
