Antiques are beautiful, but sometimes I can't resist a modern interpretation of an old classic, like the the Conran Shop Napoleone Cabinet ($4,950). Lacquered with glossy green, the timeless form of this seven-drawer chest takes on a lively and witty attitude. Sadly this cabinet is astronomically out of reach for me, but a girl can dream, can't she?

I love people who aren't afraid of color. Take, for example, Laurel's Rainbow Bright Home. Thanks to her fearlessness of color, her home shouts personality .

When I see the Graham and Green Pink Mother of Pearl Inlay Chest ($2,726), I think I revert to the part of me that used to play with Barbies for hours on end, that spontaneously drops $100 on facial scrub and nail polish in Walgreens, that wears stilettos to an occasional Sunday diner breakfast. Regardless of the fact that I might fill this mother of pearl inlaid dresser with gym shorts and ratty T-shirts, there's a romantic, feminine quality about it that simply makes me love being a girl. Unfortunately, there's little place for delicate, estrogen-loaded furnishings in my bedroom, but it pays to dream right?

In 1916, President Woodrow Wilson signed the "Organic Act," creating the National Park Service, the new federal bureau in the Department of the Interior protecting the 35 national parks and monuments then managed by the department. Now, the United States' national parks are made up of nearly 400 natural, cultural, and recreational sites across the country, including massive parks like Yellowstone, and historical sites like the Statue of Liberty. Besides showcasing national historic and environmental treasures, many of these parks are also available for wedding ceremonies.

I'm loving this colorful, girly bedroom, whose Louis XV French bureau desk looks perfectly at home in the lively, modern space. Inspired, I wanted to see what other antique or antique-look desks might complement a modern, feminine bedroom.
While I tend to think that bedrooms should be limited to sleeping space, it's often impossible to pare down furniture in small spaces.

Aging isn't an easy thing to do. For antiques, the phrase "things get better with age" is nearly always true when it comes to aesthetics and market value. But sometimes they do need a little love to get their groove back.

You can count on Kate Spade to infuse full-on girliness into her holiday décor. Spade's candy-colored Holly Heights Tidbit Plates ($50) are good enough to eat! The set of two green/yellow and two red/pink plates has ample festivity for holiday entertaining, but the central starry snowflake pattern is subtle enough that you can pull off the plates all year long.
