7 How to Find a Classical Bust on a Budget
Here's a post from CasaSugar Community member Pretty Little Things from the Lovely Little Vignettes group: For the past year or so I've been in search of a classical bust that falls within my budget but doesn't look cheap. It has been a long search. I was thrilled to find this one at a local antique/thrift shop for $28! No more tangled necklaces, and I love that it looks weathered and has Read more
One of my favorite shelter magazines, Anthology, just posted the latest edition of Off Shoots on its blog. There are many new and delectable images from the photo shoot of stylist Randi Brookman Harris's home, which is featured in Issue 2 of Anthology. The latest issue is on newsstands now (and selling out quickly, so grab your copy today). I'm always looking for new and interesting ways to Read more
CasaSugar Community member 2ndfloorliving recently posted this photo in the Lovely Little Vignettes group writing, "I haven't painted the walls yet, but here is a vignette of my in-progress living room." I'm absolutely in love with this — doesn't it look straight out of Domino? I think the bust collection is adorable.

Or, if you want to look for original art featuring busts, I've got that covered as well. Come and see what I've found — this is definitely one occasion Read more
Judging from this photo of Elle Decor’s Women in Design feature, it's clear that Kelly Wearstler is an advocate of busts. She's not alone; I've been wanting one for ages. But from the looks of it, hers are antiques. Antique busts at 1st Dibs — a collective of antique dealers nationwide — range from $2,000 to over $25,000. Sure it's nice to have an original, and art is always an investment. Read more
While marble busts don't work in every home, when done well, they bring a sense of elegance to a room. I love the way this marble bust is contrasted with the rough-hewn wooden pillar it's placed upon. Source Love It or Hate It: Decorating With Busts Love it Hate it Read more

We're happy to present this story from one of our favorite sites, The Good Men Project. Today, Agustín Fuentes points out that when it comes to men and women, what "everyone knows" isn’t what science shows. Everyone knows that men and women are really different. We think differently and act differently because we are wired differently. I mean look at our brains and genitals: they are just Read more
By now you're probably familiar with MyPlate, the government's new food pyramid replacement; in case you hadn't heard, based on the updated guidelines, Americans are consuming far more sodium than they should.
