Crate & Barrel has named actress/producer Reese Witherspoon as its first-ever spokesperson. In a series of commercials that launch nationally October 29, Reese spoofs her “hostess with the mostess” skills in a fun, lighthearted way — with Crate and Barrel products as her co-stars.

Reese is no stranger to design. She has her own Southern preppy-chic lifestyle brand, Draper James, and will be selling a small selection of her brand’s holiday-inspired entertaining and tabletop products at Crate and Barrel.

“We’re excited to offer a selection of gifts from Reese’s lifestyle brand, Draper James, this holiday season,” said Crate and Barrel President Steve Woodward. “Draper James embodies a fun and vibrant sense of style inspired by gracious Southern living.”

Reese founded Draper James to honor her grandparents Dorothea Draper and William James Witherspoon. Her lifestyle brand is perfectly Southern and includes fashion and home accents available online and at brick-and-mortar stores in Lexington, Kentucky; Nashville, Tennessee; and Dallas, Texas.

Draper James store in Lexington, Kentucky.

According to Crate and Barrel, the holiday items are a small tease of what’s to come. Larger, co-designed collections will roll out starting in the spring and summer of 2018.

Here’s her holiday collection; get yours faves before they sell out!

Hackers Help: How to attach headboard to ESPEVÄR mattress base?

I’m trying to figure out if a headboard can be attached to an Espevar Mattress Base , and how to accomplish that. I’m looking at a standard metal headboard (because I just prefer the look of curved metal to what IKEA offers) and am not interested in a slat base with just a mattress on top, and a wall mounted headboard is not an option due to renting. Thanks for any help! ~ Amy *** Hi Amy I’ve not seen the ESPEVÄR in person but I believe it is possible to attach a headboard to it. From the website, the ESPEVÄR looks like a regular wooden slatted mattress base under a bed base slipover. As to how to attach it, that will depend on the fittings on the metal headboard. So you will just need to get the right hardware to secure the metal headboard to the wooden frame. And make some small openings on the slipcover to let the fixtures to go through.

Kitchen renovation reveal: Rhombus wall steals the show

It’s been a while since I did a home tour. If you’ve missed the previous reveals, you can catch up with my Master Bathroom remodel and Guest Bathroom reveal . Today, let’s focus on my kitchen renovation. Hands down, this is the most used room in my home. I spend crazy amounts of time in here, even when I’m not cooking. Just off to the side of the kitchen I converted an awkward space into a reading nook . In the mornings, I sit and read or pray and meditate, before it gets too warm. And on the other side, there’s a work-in-progress plant wall / indoor garden which also takes up a lot of my time. So, all in all, lots of traffic in here, and that’s not even counting cooking and eating time. The kitchen is definitely my favourite room, because the transformation is huge and I love how it turned out. Kitchen renovation: The before House 17 when I first got it, actually had 2 kitchens, which is a very common “Asian” home concept. First, the “dry kitchen”, which is where you make simp

IKEA sofa with genius armrest storage

Bet you never knew your sofa armrests were prime storage space. Ok, so the guys at IKEA are the masters of hidden / secret storage everywhere. In fact, one of the things I most loved about the ESKILSTUNA sofa series was the undercover storage on the chaise lounge, but… what? More than 80 liters of storage space wasted on the armrests? NO WAY! I really don’t understand how they didn’t take that opportunity with several different armrest modules. Mobile chargers, cup / can holders, foldable tables, refrigerators… there’s SO MUCH space in there. I can’t stop thinking on different options! For myself, I went for two designs. First, a “full space” design on the (right) side of the chaise lounge. (The cavity fits two foldable chairs). Second, on the left armrest — a flip open section for “mobile charger / remote control storage / etc.”. Below that, a full-depth pull-out drawer, tall enough to store A4 sized magazines. This is the final result: Full space design, right of cha
