Casa Quickie: Just Say No to Slippery Steps
If you plan on hosting any dinner parties or holiday gatherings, the last thing you need is a guest with a head injury. Unfortunately, slippery, icy walkways and steps are often the culprit in Winter accidents. Stop slips before they start by making sure to keep your steps free of ice and snow.

Love It or Hate It? Todd Oldham Ice Cream Party
I'm normally of the persuasion that Todd Oldham can do no wrong. But today? Not so much.
Etsy Find: Ice Cream Lollies Tea Towel
I'm far from an Adam Sandler groupie, but there are a few of his movie scenes that always get me. One of these is in Mr. Deeds, when his character tries to sell an ice cream glove to investors — such a dumb idea but I still kind of understand the need for one. Since the fictional product was never produced, we'll have to make do by wiping down our sticky fingers with the MrPS Ice Cream Lollies Tea Towel ($16).
Nice and New: Fred Flare Ice Cream Lamp
Although most of the time I feel like my life revolves around home decorating, part of me wishes I wouldn't take it so seriously. I'm thinking that the Fred Flare Ice Cream Lamp ($48) might lighten things up, making a visit to my home more like a casual, Summer stroll to an ice cream parlor — relaxed and sugary sweet. Granted, the lamp shrieks teeny-bop bedroom like a Jonas Brothers fan at a live performance, but it's good for a laugh.
Artists Plan to Freeze a Vacant Detroit Home
This Winter, photographer Gregory Holm and architect Matthew Radune plan to freeze one of the thousands of abandoned homes in Detroit to draw attention to the city's foreclosure crisis. The house will be sprayed with water and gradually covered in ice, and Holm will photograph its transformation for the project, called Ice House Detroit. The property that's chosen will be one that is already due for demolition, because it is fire damaged or dangerous to the public.
Midday Muse: Fire and Ice
Though this Kassiopeia Fabric comes from Finnish brand Marimekko, it has a sort of Asian-inspired fantasy vibe. Together with the cool-yet-fiery color combo, the pattern is very unique. How could you use these ideas in a room?
Casa Quickie: Ice Your Birdbath
One of Danny Seo's great tips in the Casa Interview was to repurpose your bird bath. Danny suggested that you fill your bird bath with ice and use it as a cooling station for beverages. When the party is over, let the ice melt and our feathered friends have a cool drink to enjoy.
Nice and New: Tord Boontje Crystal Ice Furniture
Renowned tech-meets-folk product designer Tord Boontje debuted his new Crystal Ice furniture collection for Swarovski at the Maison et Objet trade show in Paris last month. The range includes three designs (a bench, table, and stool) which use densely wrapped crystals to create an illusion of floating icicles. If the words "winter wonderland" could ever translate to interior furnishings, he's pulled it off.
Roundup: Cocktail Trays
Every entertaining household should have a stocked bar with an ice bucket, glassware, cocktail shakers, mixers, and a few choices of poison. I recommend keeping these bar essentials out in the open on a console table of sorts, so guests feel they can serve themselves. Sometimes a closet or cabinet is the only option, though.
