Waspy Whimsy: Inspiration from ‘True Prep’

On September 7th, one of our favorite tongue in cheek style guides, The Official Preppy Handbook, gets an of-the-moment update with the release of True Prep: It's a Whole New Old World. In celebration of the handbook turning 30, and the release of its predecessor, we've gathered up some upperclass-esque gems that would make Bunny and Muffy raise their Gin & Tonics in celebratiion of all things preppy. In its new release, True Prep's author Lisa Birnbach and designer Chip Kidd bring Birnbach's philosophies of prepdom into our modern times — and thankfully maintain the humor and wit for which the 30 year old ...

Las Vegas Carpets Series by Chris Maluszynski

Though we've shared the casino carpet gallery in the past, photographer Chris Maluszynski ups the ante with his Las Vegas Carpets series. According to Wired Maluszynski spent "four years roaming Sin City’s kaleidoscopic corridors with his camera" and the psychedelic patterns he collected capture the bizarre awe of Vegas. With a penchant for patterns, Chris is considering documenting motel bedspreads for his next project.

Twin Beds That Don’t Scream “Baby”

Sets of twin beds always make me think of girlie cliches — miles of pink toile and words like "dream" in swirly script. That may be all well and good if you're decorating a 2 year old's room, but grown-up rooms probably require a little more staying power and a little less frill. Twin beds are a go-to option for many shared sibling and guestrooms, and these are a few of my favorite ideas for squeezing out many years of use without a decorating overhaul. • 1 Classically Domino, this bedroom's bold color combination and graphic rug make the rest of the room's traditional ...

Instant Decorating: Add an Orchid

My husband brought home an orchid for me the other day (isn't he nice?), and it's totally improved our apartment. We live in a small one-bedroom, so it makes a big impact as a centerpiece on our coffee table. It's the same type as the one shown in the first photo, and it has substantial height, giving it a kind of sculptural presence in our living room. As far as flowers go, orchids aren't inexpensive, but they're cheap compared to other home accessories. They're colorful, decorative, and go equally well in modern and traditional interiors. Although they have a reputation for ...

Be Indecisive with the Split Personality Sofa

Some days you are a fan of muted neutrals. Others, you want bright, vibrant colors. When decorating, how do you decide which one wins, especially with furniture purchases? Designer Ditte Maigaard suggests that you don't have to choose. You can indeed have it all with the Split Personality Sofa. "Developed from from a view of two opposite personalities who – because of their differences – supplement each other and enables many different uses," Ditte Maigaard's Split Personality Sofa is designed to allow both to coexist in one couch. Meant to be used in the middle of the room, it is almost like furniture's classier ...

Grow These Plants if You Love to Party

Nothing makes guests feel more welcome than homegrown ingredients and touches, be they edible or decorative. Obvious marijuana jokes aside, there are lots of great plants to cultivate in your garden if you love to throw parties. I've chosen a handful offavorites, all of which are relatively easy to grow, lovely to look at, and practical for entertaining. • Mint is a bit of a no-brainer. It's perfect for cocktails, garnishes, or even in floral bouquets, and it grows like crazy, even if you basically ignore it. In fact, it has a tendency to spread and conquer even the most carefully tended ...

Think Globally

It's Adventures and Outings Month here at Ohdeedoh, which means we're writing about all things travel-related. But what if you're not planning any big trips? You can still globetrot without leaving your home, just by owning a globe. We have yet to meet a kid who doesn't find globes fascinating, which might explain why these are mainstays in so many of the rooms we've toured.
