内容摘要：Although eucalyptus plants aren’t ideal for growing in a shower (they don’t like moist soil), you can benefit from their aromatherapy and decongestant properties by gathering a bundle of fresh-cut stems, running them over with a rolling pin to release their oils, and tying them into a bouquet. Hang the bundle from the shower head for several weeks of scented steam showers. Replace it when the fragrance fades, or the bouquet looks wilted or begins to mold.

Not too long ago, decor trade shows would include a handful of studio labs offering reclaimed wood items and organic textiles. Today, at global fairs like Ambiente in Frankfurt, Salone in Milan and Paris’ Maison et Objet, hundreds of companies show new design made with environmental and social impact in mind. Fair trade manufacturing.like hemp, bamboo and cork. Cushions made of soy-based foam instead of petroleum-based foam. Recycled glass and metal accessories.

Mid 20- and 30-somethings are seen as drivers of the slow design trend. TikTok and Instagram feeds are full of refinish-and-reveal videos, and modest abodes full of found treasures.Stephen Orr, editor in chief of Better Homes & Gardens, says he’s spent the past couple of years renovating a 1760s house on Cape Cod.“The first year was during the pandemic, so antiques and flea markets were a godsend considering all the supply chain disruptions,” he says.

“But during that process, we came to the realization that pieces with a patina of age better celebrate the house’s long history anyway.”He also added some new, modern pieces “so it doesn’t look like we should be dressed in period Colonial Williamsburg costumes.”

Furniture for sitting, sleeping and eating is where you should spend more money on quality, says Jillian Hayward Schaible of Susan Hayward Interiors.

“We encourage clients to invest in pieces like sofas/sectionals, beds, dining tables and upholstered items, because you can really feel the difference when these items are well-made,” she says.The album is never revelatory, but there are surprises: like the

Wallen’s also a traditionalist — in the weeping guitars of “Falling Apart,” the backroads balladry of “Skoal, Chevy, and Browning,” where chewing tobacco and hunting gear has never sounded so ... romantic? Most of his songs deal with heartbreak and self-deprecation with lyrical specificity and a total lack of pretension, appealing to both a fluid listenership and country radio loyalists looking for something familiar enough.In full, “I’m The Problem” is 37-tracks, running nearing two hours long. It’s exhaustive but only exhausting for the active listener — just like his last two, which also topped 30 tracks. His style hasn’t detoured too much from his previous work, giving new credence to not fixing what isn’t broke. The album plays out like a soundtrack to a road trip, effortless and pleasant background music.

Then, of course, is the financial incentive: Longer albums equate to more streams, and streams often account for far more of an album’s chart position than downloads and purchases.All that aside, everything Wallen does, including the release of this new album, is inextricable from his controversies.
