Roundup: White Dining Room Chairs
The Blind Side, which opens today, promises to be a tearjerker. The movie, which is based on the true story captured in Michael Lewis's book The Blind Side: Evolution of a Game, stars Sandra Bullock as Leigh Anne Touhy, the Christian, Southern mom who takes in Michael Oher, played by Quinton Aaron. Touhy's house is pretty standard for an upper-middle-class Southern family, but one element that caught my eye were these white dining chairs.
Roundup: Perfect Presents For Boho Babes
Do you have a sis or a best friend whose bohemian spirit takes her to all corners of the globe? Does your gal pal love the look of layered textiles and unexpected prints? If so, then I'm sure she'd appreciate a present that will help her to decorate her home to reflect just that.
Roundup: Gifts For the Dark and Elegant Decorator
I'm a huge fan of decorating with bright colors, but some of the most elegant women I know love to decorate with a more stark color scheme, including lots of black. It's an elegant and chic way to decorate, and as long as you add a few pops of color, it doesn't feel too dark and gloomy.

Do You Use Layaway?
Stores like Kmart, Sears, and Toys "R" Us are bringing back layaway programs. This service lets customers pay a small down payment, and then holds goods until the entire price is paid off.

Nice and New: IKEA Holiday Décor
I think holiday décor is best collected year after year, with a mix of homemade and store-bought ornaments. But I must admit I am really digging a few of IKEA's new Christmas items. This moose-shaped Sprallig Coat Rack ($19.99), for instance, is so quirky and fun — very Scandinavian modern.
Give Back While You Shop With CB2's "Can Do" Drive
Last year, CB2 had tremendous success with its "can do" drive, helping to stock food banks in the neighborhoods close to its stores. This year, the "can do" drive is back. From today through Nov.
Roundup: Cozy Gifts For Grandparents
My grandparents are big bookworms, and I have so many special memories of reading with them while we snuggled up on a sofa together.
They're still avid readers, and while I can't always be there to share a book with them, I know that they appreciate a new book in the holiday season. I try to always pick out something special for them, and a book and a blanket is a perfect combination.
How-To: Go Subtle With Lavender
Earlier today, I showed you how to decorate with lavender walls. If you're not ready to make the commitment to that much lavender, though, you can always work with accents. Try using textiles in a lavender shade.
Roundup: Wonderful Wardrobes
A friend of mine is moving into a bedroom in a new apartment which is closet-less. She will have access to two hall closets, but considering the miles of clothes and shoes she owns, an additional wardrobe may be needed. So, I decided I'd hunt some down for her.
