Salute to French Interior Design

Maison Darre

Irwin Weiner ASID - Back in 2007, fellow designer Nicola Chernicoff and I shot a video on European vs. American Design. Guess what? It's still valid; European designers are more relaxed, infinitely less afraid of color, and appreciate color and whimsy more than American designers.

Ultimate Bird Feeders

Droll Yankees 

Irwin Weiner ASID - My partner and I have a weekend home in rural PA, and we have a great garden, protected by a deer fence. It's nice to live in Nature, but it's optimum to edit Nature and allow only nice things into your yard. Case in point: bird feeders. Years of mishap plagued us. Possums, squirrels, and raccoons - and those huge crows! - would descend on our bird feeders, chasing away all the cute little colorful creatures we wanted to attract in the first place. One night, I woke up to a racket in our backyard, got a flashlight, crept to the kitchen, shined the beam out the back window, and found three raccoons yanking and pawing at our hanging feeder. The next morning, the feeder was gone and we never found a trace of it!

Did we give up? Not at all. We discovered the Droll Yankees Yankee Flipper (see photo above); it changed our bird feeding lives! You charge up the wire mesh perch/base and it swiftly rotates when pressure is put on it. It literally flips heavy birds and animals off the perch so they can't get at the food. It was hysterical to see a squirrel tossed into space by the perch. I can't recommend Droll Yankees products enough, and they have a squirrel-proof line of feeders worth looking into. This video doesn't feature the Flipper model, but it's a Droll Yankees feeder, and it's certainly mesmerizing to watch.

Hawaiian Hotel Splendor

Voyages Destination                            

Irwin Weiner ASID - Cabin fever is setting in - I who am more used to my native, sunny Cape Town than frosty Manhattan - so I naturally gravitate towards warm-weather videos for design inspiration these days. And who wouldn't! We all loved this Traditional Home video, with their lucky style editor, Krissa Rossbund, staying in the fabulous Royal Hawaiian resort. It's been refurbished for the umpteenth time since the "Pink Palace" first opened its doors in 1927 - in the grandeur of Rudolph Valentino, no less. The handcrafted furniture and colorful island quilts in their upgraded Royal Beach Tower is the height of classic sophistication.

Men Love Home Decorating!

Gear Patrol

Jay Johnson - We're crazy about home improvements. Homeowners obsess with beauty, whether it's freshening up the look of a room or nipping into Home Goods to check out the latest shipment of accessories. Men love to get into the act, too. We know many who like to install their own heated floors, then repaint the walls. The end results are satisfying. We'd like to reward you for joining us in celebrating this DIY spirit. Post a comment - a sentence or two is fine - about WHY I LOVE TO DECORATE, we'll have a drawing at the end of Valentine's Day, Feb. 14, and the winner will get a gift code worth $75 off any purchase in the over 200 CSN Stores online; splurge on anything from a new pair of shoes to modern office furniture. Add a quick WHY I LOVE TO DECORATE comment right now - and good luck (to both men and women)!

We found this lots-of-fun video that perfectly captures the enthusiasm so many of us have for making a big difference in the appearance of our home. We salute all who decorate! (And go to Gear Patrol for a cool series of "male DIY" how-to posts.)
