I would say that the ultimate luxury is to have a full night sleep, furthermore, to sleep in a bed with soft, luxurious, and beautiful bedding.  I first learned about Biscuit bedding when I saw the chic bedding at AD just recently.  I couldn’t help but love the brand’s modern take on the traditional.  In 2012 Bailey McCarthy realized through her design work that there was a lack of heirloom quality bedding for her generation. She created Biscuit as a brand that would fill this space by designing and selling luxury bedding with fun designer prints, keeping the process rooted in the tradition of the south and manufactured in the USA.

When it comes to the kitchen, many people regard it as the heart of the home, even if we aren’t going to be appearing on MasterChef anytime soon.  It’s a place to bake, create, get together, drink wine or coffee and help the kids with homework.  So, it’s not hard to accept the fact that sometimes it is also the room that needs some serious TLC too.  When people think kitchen makeover, they think of emptying their entire bank accounts in an effort to end up with something that should be featured in Home & Garden.  But, the truth is with some smart tips you can take your kitchen from meh to magnificent – without it costing the earth.
