We know, white bottoms are a tough one to wrap your mind around, but they can be flattering and exceedingly summery if done right. Fit is even more important with white than with your average dark bottom, since it could highlight rather than disguise, so keep clean lines in mind and if you must, go up a size and have the piece tailored. ...

With the recession still in full swing, more people are having visitors over for dinner rather than going out to pricey restaurants. So, now more than ever, your living room is acting as your co-host.
What’s In? Bold seats attract attention and receive rave reviews. Yes, the age of “blah” seats with bold throw pillows is thankfully behind us. Nowadays, vibrant couches and chairs that use colors from the same palettes are taking their rightful place as the centerpiece of your living room.
But which look is right for you? Easy! Here’s a simple trick to finding the perfect couch to match your mood…
If you’re bold and sassy, try a couch with more modern metallic accents.
If you prefer a more classic look, wood designs never go out of style.
What’s Out? Pointing your furniture toward a huge television. I know what you’re thinking, “My living room is basically my TV room when I’m not hosting.” Trust me, when I don’t have people over, I’m plopped on my couch watching reruns of “Lost.” But when my guests are enjoying after-dinner coffee, my TV retreats back into its TV Lift Cabinet. And when the guests bid me farewell, it's back to the island to try to make sense of that whole time-travel mess. Shop for TV Lift Cabinets
