Our biggest post of the year around here is undoubtedly our kitchen trends exploration in January. You and the internet at large just love to see what’s new in these utilitarian-cum-showpiece spaces in our homes.

When you’re feeling stuck with just about anything in life or work, it’s nice to tap someone’s shoulder and say, “Hey, can you take a look at this and let me know what I should do next?” Right?

There comes a moment for many of us when we’re decorating our homes, when we have to choose between form and function. Do we go with the pretty version of what we need or the one that works the best/is the most comfortable? Well, as I established in the first part of this “From Gross to Good” series on recliner sofas, we increasingly have more options (maybe “Gross to Gotta-Have-It? I’m still workshopping here…) so we aren’t stuck with a Rosemary’s Baby-type choice.
