Thanks to a certain iconic blonde, we’ve all been seeing pink. Barbiecore has been one of the biggest trends of the last few seasons, and the upcoming Barbie movie has only increased the popularity of pink and that classic Barbie aesthetic in both fashion and design. Now, HGTV has announced a Barbie Dreamhouse home-makeover series where an entire home will get a renovation inspired by the beloved dollhouse, much to the delight of design enthusiasts everywhere.
But how does Barbie’s other half factor into the makeover? Well, HGTV has said that its dream house will also have a den for Ken. We’re calling this space a Ken Den, and it may just be the next big craze in design for personal spaces within the home.

The concept of the man cave has been around for ages. Often found in basements or converted garages, these rooms notoriously favor function over form and often bring up thoughts of dark, grungy spaces void of design or aesthetic considerations.
Ken Dens, on the other hand, offer a fresh take on what modern men are looking for in their spaces and consider that many men do care about what their homes look like: They want something that reflects their personal style, and as a rebrand of the man cave, the Ken Den offers space to do just that. (Of course, anyone can create a Ken Den for themselves—the Ken Den isn’t limited by gender.)
Instead of leaning into dated stereotypes, Ken Dens embrace the spectrum of masculinity because, just like all women have different tastes, men aren’t a monolith either, and our environments should reflect that.
As Francesco Bilotto, design and entertaining expert, so succinctly puts it, “In today’s world, more than ever, it’s extremely important to celebrate all types of

It took me far too long to discover the beauty and special quality of the shade garden. Since I’ve always been into those tough, hard-scrabble plants that eke out a living in any condition, the idea of a garden full of particular and at times sensitive plants was not of interest to me.But as I’ve gotten older, I’ve discovered a keen appreciation for these gar

During my recent music room makeover, I found myself looking for ways to incorporate some extra seating. My sights settled on an old cedar-lined storage chest, which was the right height for seating but didn't present the most inviting surface. I considered simply upholstering it, but one day while listening to The White Stripes' song «The Hardest Button to Button,» I thought, why just wrap the lid in fabric when I could do something WAY more complicated? Wouldn't that be FUN?? And so, the plan for the diamond-tufted storage ottoman was born.

I wanted to repurpose my garden hoses. I had 2 that were no longer good for using as hoses. The heavy duty one sprung a leak and the light duty one kept kinking up when I tried to use it for watering. I kept the broken hoses because there are a lot of things you can use them for to repurpose. I planned on turning them into a plant trellis using a left over wooden upright from my garage shelf renovation as the trellis frame.
It’s nice to be aware of the many changes and trends taking place in the world of gardening.

Cyclamen Coum the hardiest of them all. I have always been keen to add Cyclamen Coum in the garden for Winter interest. In the past I planted dry corms with little success.
It’s time to plan this year’s garden, but knowing how many of each vegetable to plant can be tricky. Unfortunately, overplanting is a common and costly mistake that even experienced gardeners make. When you can’t sell, give away, or donate unwanted produce, it often ends up in the trash or on the compost pile.
