Weird Furniture: Mint Stool
I detest halitosis as much as the next person, but since when does that mean I should have to sit on my breath freshener of choice? Just because you can turn any round product into the seat of a stool doesn't mean you should. I think I have to go separate ways with "art engineer" Lee J.
Love It or Hate It? Button Bench
The Jellio Button Bench ($1,400) is made to resemble a classic candy store treat with its colorful rubber dots. It certainly gives me a retro flashback of accidentally swallowing paper — not to mention a good laugh. What do you think?

The Fifth DIY of Christmas: A Candy Cane Pillar Candle Cuff
Welcome to the fifth project in my 12 DIYs of Christmas series! I'm a staunch candle enthusiast; no light bulb can ever re-create that ambient atmosphere. From tealights to tapers and pillars to Diptyques, I've got 'em all and I don't discriminate.
Casa Beta: Wall Candy Arts Rococo Chalkboard Decal
I know I said I am over wall decals, but I can make exceptions. The peeps from Wall Candy Arts approached me about their decals, and being the sweetheart that I am I gave their selection a gander. Most of their decals seem to be for children, which I'm all for: kids should have their fun.
Candy Spelling's Holmby Hills Mansion Officially On the Market
While rumors have been swirling for several years that Candy Spelling was quietly shopping around her Holmby Hills mansion, the home is now officially for sale. And at $150 million, it's the most expensive home on the market in the United States.
The house, which is built on the former site of Bing Crosby's Hollywood home, is a 56,000-square-foot mansion built in a French chateau style and sits on over 4.6 acres.
Nice and New: Groovy Gypsum Candle Holder
Mother Nature can be oh so generous with her gifts, but it takes a creative mind to put a new spin on some of her already gorgeous creations. Crystal rocks, for example, make divine bookends but add a wire, bulb, and lampshade to them and they sparkle in more ways than one. Same goes for this Gypsum Candle Holder ($160).
Cool Idea: Leave Guests in Mint Condition
Is your half bath the total package for visitors? Aside from the newly painted black stripes, my powder room is pretty standard and I wanted to give guests a little something extra to freshen up while visiting the little girl's room.
I habitually pop a mint after using the restroom when I am out, so I channeled my inner sweet spot and hunted for the perfect mints to sit sinkside in my tiny bath.

In The News: No One's Immune From Downsizing
For most of us, downsizing means foregoing an addition on a home, or selling a vacation home, especially in this uncertain real estate market. If your last name is Spelling, though, downsizing has a slightly different meaning.
As reported in the LA Times, Candy Spelling, widow of Aaron Spelling, has traded in her Holmby Hills home — the largest house in the entire county of Los Angeles with 123(!) rooms and measuring in at 56,500 square feet— for her new $47 million condo, which spans the top two floors of LA's Century City high rise, which is still under construction.
Casa Verde: Graduate to Cloth Napkins
Even some of my more grown-up friends are still using paper napkins (or — gasp — paper towels) for everyday dining. If you're among them, it's time to upgrade to some real table linens, which are both more sophisticated and better for the environment.
For weeknight dinners, don't worry about buying anything fancy.
