Not to be dramatic, but these containers have changed my life for the better. For one, I’m no longer harboring anxiety in the back of my mind that my containers are leaching microplastics into my food, thanks to the brand’s non-toxic glass and ceramic design. And after purging my kitchen of all those ugly, half-broken pieces, my highly organized and extremely aesthetically pleasing food storage shelf actually makes me look forward to packing up my household’s leftovers—and reaching for them in the fridge puts a smile on my face....

Baked Butternut Squash v. Roasted Butternut Squash Baking and roasting are two common, but different methods of cooking food in an oven. Baking is done at a lower heat for a longer period of time, typically between 325°F and 375°F. This method evenly cooks food throughout and is typically used for cakes, cookies, and bread. Baking butternut squash is the best method when you want to evenly cook two whole halves as they will become soft on the inside without burning on the outside....

“There was adequate space to work with, but it was primarily lacking in character and functionality,” Salceda says. The floorplan had wraparound white cabinets with a contrasting black backsplash and countertop, but an island in the middle was too narrow for seating. A soffit just below the ceiling hid necessary ductwork, but it also managed to make the entire room feel smaller. And even though the existing range and sink placement overlooked the backyard, a positive detail Salceda and the couple wanted to keep, they all felt that more could be done to fulfill a hard-working yet stylish upgrade....

Play with Paint According to Abiagom-Page, the inspiration for decorating the lounge was all about using color in a way that was interesting and non-traditional. “The lounge, even though quite large, is rather shaded with little natural light due to the extension,” Abiagom-Page explains of her space. “I love an injection of color into a space when decorating, however, rather than place color on the walls, which would overpower the room, or forgo any color altogether, I felt placing the color on the ceiling and making a feature out of this would give me the best of both worlds....

Day-to-Day Storage Missy’s successful storage strategies revolve around working with daily habits rather than against them. For example, Missy converted a room just off the mudroom into a homework and project space. This works so that when the children come in from school, they can drop their bags and get started on their nightly to-do lists. She included drawer storage and a crafts caddy as a table centerpiece. The divided wooden tote corrals crafts supplies and is easy to carry to other areas....
