Though beds were made for sleeping on, we often find ourselves nestling under that duvet way before slumber. Once we’re there, getting up again can be oh-so-painful, so a well-stocked nightstand is key. Keep these products nearby to ensure a smooth transition to bedtime and a good morning when you rise.

Tech Nostalgia

Maybe it’s due to the Mad Men craze, or the annoying rate at which today’s gadgets become obsolete, but there’s something charming about old technology. Sure, antique phones, TVs and music players might not be incredibly useful any longer, but in their day they were innovative, exciting, and desired by every American family. For all those who remember spinning the dial on a rotary telephone, changing the ribbon on a typewriter or adjusting the rabbit ears on a black-and-white TV—or for anyone who longs for simpler times—these fashionable retro products combine the romance of vintage tech with the quality and functionality of the 21st century. They remind us how far we’ve come and how quickly things change—there’s no way to predict which technologies the future will bring.

Sometimes a film location can be so fantastic it can make a so-so flick a pleasure to watch. Ideally we’d love a thought-provoking plotline but for us, a dreamy home can be just as much of an escape. A stunning location, cutting-edge architecture, and perhaps a handsome homeowner—we have enough to write our own fairytale. Though no matter how much of a role houses plays in film, they’re the only stars that don’t make it into the opening credits. In their honor, we’ve gathered the most inspiring, breathtaking, fantasy-inducing homes of the movies. Drum roll please...

But the iconic tape is coming back, and through the discerning eye of a few clever designers, the once clunky gadget can look whimsical, comical—even stylish.
