Lust-Worthy Living Rooms

Make the living room a central space in your home with loads of colorful accessories and a trapeze or two.

Read something. If you already watched Contagion, try out some pandemic-related reading—Severance by Ling Ma, or Pale Horse Pale Rider by Katherine Anne Porter. Or, read the Social Distancing Manifesto.

Find out what the heck “Cottagecore” means. Hint: it’s as quaint as it sounds. 

Create an Instagram account for your pet. If ever there was a time to post and share infinity pictures of your cute (or ugly) dog doing cute things, this is it.
