Don't just upgrade your storage solutions — upgrade them with a ridiculously cute fleece ottoman.
1. A stunning shoe storage cabinet that'll make sure this year is the year you finally stop tripping on your favorite sneakers all the time. With a rattan front and cute lil' tapered legs, this mid-century modern-inspired piece not only looks fab but also gets up to 10 pairs of shoes off the ground and neatly put away.
Promising review: 'LOVE this organizer! I was looking for a way to declutter my entrance that was full of shoes when I take my dog out. This solved the problem very elegantly! Easy to assemble as well.' — Bianca
2. A set of eight closet shelf dividers so you can finally turn your terrifyingly teeny wardrobe storage situation into the space-efficient, well-oiled fashion machine you always knew it could be. Instead of one, big, messy shelf, you'll have access to a bunch of adjustable cubbies — perfect for stacking folded shirts or sweaters, organizing bags or purses, and more.
Promising review: 'These work beautifully! I originally thought I'd have more than I needed, but they are so flexible and versatile I used the whole pack immediately. Thick and well made too!' — Amy
3. A unique, bubble-like floor lamp to light up your life — literally. You've spent enough time in the dark; now is the time to come into the light (and luckily, the two pretty globes on this bronze MCM-style lamp are more than happy to help you out). Aaah. Isn't that better?
Gregory/Wayfair
Promising review: 'Love the design and the size. Nice, warm glow, yet bright enough for nighttime. Design is fresh and clean and fits nicely with mid-century modern contemporary vibes.' — Rowena
4. And a trio of hanging baskets as functional as they are gorgeous. The baskets can be hung together as one piece or split up into three separate organizers, each of which can hold eight pounds. The set even includes an over-the-door hook for easy hanging. A space saver, an easy organizer, and a super cute décor piece, all in one go? Yes, please.
Jodi/Wayfair
Promising review: 'Love it! Super durable and versatile. I've had it in three different apartments now, and it's been helpful and cute in each one. Note that the pockets aren't huge/don't morph very much, so you can only fit so much in them.' — Ric
5. A triptych of modern, geometric wall art so you can finally fill up those bare, white walls you've been meaning to do something about for-ev-er. These three coordinating pieces hang together beautifully, or you can split 'em up to add a splash of color to different walls.
Promising review: 'Love this art piece. Fits perfectly in my office. Great quality and beautiful piece. Shipped super quickly.' — Jennifer
6. A super cozy sectional that goes above and beyond when it comes to multifunctionality: Not only is there hidden storage in the chaise part of its L-shaped design, but it also transforms into a comfy snoozing spot for overnight guests. If you've been meaning to boost your space's versatility, this pick is an excellent way to do it.
Promising review: 'Gorgeous. Perfect for the basement living room — we bought two. Easy to pull out and storage is a huge plus for extra pillows and toys. Pretty easy putting together with two people. Firm, but I like that. Took a long time to decide on this, but glad we did. Boxed carefully and securely.' — April
7. A pair of velvet geometric-patterned throw pillow covers with metallic accents, so you can refresh your couch without, y'know, replacing the entire thing. (Improvements don't have to be costly to be significant!) Both super soft and super ~aesthetic,~ these covers will turn your couch into the pinnacle of lounging sophistication with little effort.
Note that the covers don't come with pillow inserts, but you can grab a couple of those here if you need to.
Promising review: ' These are very nice pillow covers — attractive but not gaudy. They look super nice with my seasonal decor change-up! And they are VERY SOFT.' — Mom
8. A fun, fleece storage ottoman because you truly can never have enough additional seating or storage — so why not expand both options in one go? This cute lil' drum is super soft to sit on — and as a bonus, it opens up to reveal a sneaky hidden storage spot inside.
Promising review: 'Love these. Perfect size for individual footstool or an extra seat. Bought three for my living room — loved the look and functionality so much ordered another for our smaller sitting room.' — Danielle
9. A full-length mirror with an elegant, arched frame that'll help open up even the smallest of spaces. Whether wall-hung or propped up on the floor (with or without the included stand!), this piece's unique shape even lets you fake a window easily if your place doesn't have many of them.
Promising review: 'Love the size of the mirror! I'm 5'6", and I have it leaning on my living room wall in my studio apartment, and it's still taller than me. It opens up the space a lot! It is nice and sturdy as well. Great quality. I compared the dimensions and price with other stores, and this one was bigger, cost less, and had the best reviews!!' — Cassia LeBron-Williams
10. A couple of thermal blackout curtain panels that'll actually, y'know, darken the room — and help it stay a comfortable temperature, to boot. This year, give yourself the gift of saving on your climate control bills and getting better sleep. You're worth it, you awesome human, you.
Promising review: 'Great quality. Very thick and luxurious. Many compliments from friends. Really block out the light. Bought more for other rooms!' — Lorrie
Price: $11.99+ per panel (originally $20.99+; available in 11 sizes and 31 colors)
11. A gorgeous boho duvet cover to give your bedroom's aesthetic a refreshing reset. This tufted, geometric cover packs tons of texture for visual interest, along with a bunch of colorways and designs to choose from that'll work with almost any palette. I don't know about you, but maximum impact plus minimal effort is a winning combination in my book.
For the curious, the duvet cover is made of microfiber. It also comes with one or two pillowcases, depending on the duvet size.
Promising review: 'Arrived super prompt — easy to wash and insert duvet! It's super cozy, and the design is minimal but nice. My only complaint is it's so cozy I've been having a hard time getting out of bed in the morning! ' — Dani
12. And a really good mattress because you deserve to sleep the sleep of the unbothered, and now is a great time to make that happen. Made of gel memory foam, this medium-firmness, 12-inch pick is a boon for folks who run hot while they sleep (hi, hello, it's me, I am a furnace), thanks to its breathable construction and cool-to-the-touch cover.
Promising review: 'Game-changer for my sleep quality! I couldn't be happier with the Nora Medium Cooling Gel Memory Foam Mattress. The cooling gel layer truly works wonders, keeping me cool throughout the night — no more waking up sweaty! The medium firmness strikes the perfect balance between soft comfort and proper support, especially for my back and joints. The cooling cover is a nice bonus, adding an extra layer of comfort and breathability. It was easy to unbox and expanded quickly with no lingering odors. I've noticed a significant improvement in my sleep since switching to this mattress. Highly recommend it to anyone who values a good night's rest!' — Bee
13. A soothing, botanical-patterned shower curtain to brush up your bathroom. Resistant to stains, mildew, and fading, it's also machine washable for easy care. Your shower should be a place of relaxation, not stress, right? Right.
14. And a soft bath rug for your toesies that'll make for the easiest bathroom improvement ever. (Trust me: It is far nicer to step out of a hot shower onto a pile of plush warmth than onto cooooooold tiles.) This fun, nubbly rug is super absorbent and backed with a nonslip treatment, too — exactly what you'd want for something that's going to be hanging out in a wet environment.
Promising review: 'OK, imagine stepping out of the shower/tub and your feet sinking into a very plush, soft rug… wait… you don't need to imagine it. This is the rug that wants to come home with you. The rug that your feet have been dreaming of. It's a match made in heaven, but only if you buy it…' — Laura
15. AND a rainfall showerhead because, I mean, if we're talking about resetting your home, nothing beats making it so you start each and every day with the best shower of your life. This one even includes a hand shower for extra versatility.
Pro tip: It's actually a lot simpler to swap out faucets and fixtures than you probably think, and if you've been dealing with a less-than-stellar shower, it is absolutely worth the effort. (Source: Me; my spouse and I installed a new showerhead when we moved into our place seven years ago, and it is a decision neither of us has ever regretted.)
Promising review: 'Great showerhead that also tilts. The pressure is great, and the handheld is a must!! Just got to make sure you wipe the chrome after showering so it doesn't leave water spots.' — Andrea
16. Plus, a compact yet effective towel warmer, so you can wrap yourself up in a nice, warm towel when you're done getting your rainfall on. Just pop your favorite, plushest bath towel in, hit the one-touch button, wait up to 60 minutes, and voilà: The best finish to your morning shower ever. All cozy, all the time. Heck yes.
Wayfair
Promising review: 'I am truly impressed how this towel warmer turned my bath routine into a pampering spa experience. The warm towel feels amazing after a long bath. It was super easy to use with just a touch of a button. It's safe to use and shuts off automatically. Even my kids use it and put their clothes in to warm them up with their towels. It's worth every penny and the best purchase ever.' — Mother of Dragons
17. A set of 10 sleek, modern cabinet pulls that'll upgrade your cabinetry in a big way — without breaking the bank. Just switching out your old, outdated hardware for something with a more contemporary feel can work wonders when it comes to freshening up your kitchen or bathroom — and these streamlined pulls are more than up for the job.
Wayfair
18. Or a set of buzzy bee cabinet knobs if you're looking to infuse your space with a bit more whimsy. The best improvements are the ones that make you smile when you see them, no? I mean, just look at them. So cute. How could you not want these in your life?
Erica/Wayfair
Promising review: 'Fun and beautiful accent! Larger than I anticipated, but a fun accessory for our first bath cabinets.' — Jessica
19. A solid wood console table with smooth, clean lines, so you can finally get your entryway in order. Add a couple of baskets, trays, or other assorted organizers, and bam — no more mess, no more lost keys, and no more forgetting to drop that card in the mail for your Great Aunt Agatha's birthday.
Ruth/Wayfair
Promising review: 'Really gorgeous and elegant-looking. It's exactly the size we were looking for, height, width, and depth, but I really made sure to measure exactly how large it'd be before placing the order. It's sturdy, it's holding up a ton of decor and a heavy mirror despite being quite slim. ' — Jade
20. Plus, a set of floating wall hooks to complete your brand new front door drop zone. Each hook can hold up to seven pounds, so whether you want to use them for coats, hats, or other outerwear, or you'd rather, say, hang a basket or two from them for sorting and organizing purposes, they'll be more than up for the job.
Jaspreet/Wayfair
Promising review: 'These were of good quality, very attractive and were easy to install. They look gorgeous on our newly remodeled entryway.' — Nicholas
21. A versatile pegboard kit that'll help you find places for everything, in the event that you're making this year your 'everything in its place' year. Reconfigurable in all manner of different ways, this set from Wall Control comes in TONS of shades that'll suit color palettes of all kinds. Your hobby supplies have never had it so good!
22. A ridiculously pretty dry-erase board to help get you on track — in ~style.~ That gold frame? Gorgeous. Who says your newly refreshed organizational systems can't also be visually stunning?
Sandy/Wayfair
Promising reviews: 'These look amazing in my kitchen for a command center, important paper catchall! Love writing (and seeing) notes from my teens on these boards.' — Terri
'Aesthetically-pleasing way to organize my life!' — Jaimee
24. A pack of four stackable fridge organizer bins because your groceries deserve some improvements in their lives, too. This starter set boasts two larger bins and two smaller ones — perfect for corralling bigger things like leafy greens and other produce and smaller things like salsa, jam, and other jarred faves. Bonus: They're also good for taming pantry chaos!
Wayfair
Look. I know I write about these things all the time, but I will sing the praises of fridge organizer bins until the day I die. I, in fact, have a four-bin set like this one; I acquired them a few years ago, and now I will not stock my fridge without them. The two larger ones go on the bottom shelf, where they hold things like bundles of fresh herbs and leafy greens; stacked on top of each other, they make excellent use of the bottom shelf's vertical space that might otherwise be wasted. Then the two smaller ones go side-by-side on the top shelf, so I never have to guess where my Better Than Bouillon or pickled jalapenos went. I love them so much, friends. They bring so much joy and order into my life. Fridge bins 4 life!
Promising review: 'This was perfect for our pantry! The kids have their snacks organized, and I no longer have to open the pantry and realize a box of snacks was empty... love these!' — Sheryl
Price: $23.99
25. A pull-down faucet for your kitchen sink that'll make convincing yourself to do your dishes way easier. Heck, the two spray settings, a ton of extra height, and its ultra-snazzy appearance might make you even want to do the aforementioned dishes, just so you have an excuse to use your super cool new faucet.
Sarah/Wayfair
Promising review: 'Excellent faucet! Love its design, and it looks and works very well. Cannot be happier with this purchase. Highly recommend to anyone who is renovating their kitchen and wants a modern look and well-functioning faucet.' — Ellen
Price: $189.95+ (originally $560+; available in three colors)
26. A stainless steel, double-walled French press, so you can up your home coffee game in a significant, I-absolutely-know-the-difference-between-single-origin-and-blends way. French presses are super easy to use — measure and grind your beans, add your water, stir, wait four minutes, then plunge and enjoy — but this French press from Bodum has the added benefit of being insulated, so each and every drop will stay nice and warm until you're ready to drink it.
Jasmine/Wayfair
Promising review: ' My favorite! I use this French press every single day, now. It keeps coffee hot during the four-minute brew process. I use one tablespoon fresh course ground coffee per five ounces of hot water. Perfect cup every time. Love it! Worth the price if you are a coffee lover.' — Jane
Price: $50.69 (originally $108.75)
27. Plus, an automatic milk warmer and frother that'll let you latte-all-day with the best of them this year. Why settle for just pouring regular ol' milk in your coffee when you could whip yourself up a fancy-schmancy café-style drink whenever you like? Your favorite coffee mug won't know what hit it.
Sarah/Wayfair
Promising review: ' Totally worth the price! Takes approx. 2 mins to fully froth and is fairly silent. Works perfectly with almond milk creamer and skim milk.' — Sarah
Price: $59.95 (originally $75)
28. And lastly, a fancy toaster oven with an air fryer function, because hey, guess what? Your leftovers do not have to be soggy when you heat them back up! Your dino chicken nuggets do not have to be weirdly soft instead of nice and crispy! Your Brussels sprouts do not have to be gross and mushy! And since this option from Cuisinart is not just easy to use, but also easy to clean up, it may just become the single most-used appliance in your kitchen.
Lauren/Wayfair
My household recently replaced our agéd, extremely-not-great toaster oven (seriously, we had to rotate our toast at least twice during the toasting process in order to end up with something vaguely resembling even, all-over browning) with this exact model and friends — it is LIFE CHANGING. Not only does it, y'know, toast things nice and evenly, but it also has been a game-changer for heating up all kinds of things — a serious improvement over our previous situation.
For example: I made a sheet pan phyllo pastry slab pie sort of situation that resulted in tons of leftovers. Reheating slices of this thing in the microwave works, of course, but it ends up all soggy — not crispy and flaky, the way phyllo should be.
But when I popped a couple of slices in this toaster oven, set to air fry? They crisped right back up. Honestly, it was as if I'd just pulled them out of the oven after the initial bake. A+, no notes. Yes, it is an investment. But y'all. It is 100% worth saving up for if you can swing it. I promise.
Promising review: 'Love this toaster oven. It is made well and works beautifully whether I'm baking, toasting, or air frying. Leftovers taste better in this oven! ' — Linda
Price: $199.95 (available in three colors)

Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani Looking Forward to ‘Nourishing' Summer on Their Oklahoma Ranch
Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani have been enjoying couples dates on their ranch in Oklahoma and a source exclusively tells Life & Style that they're planning on spending the bulk of summer in the country star's home state – while using it as an opportunity to reconnect and enjoy quality time without the kids. 'They love to get away from L.A. and all the superficiality of the business. On the ranch they can totally relax and let down their guards. Their family and friends fly out to see them so it's not like they are totally shut off, but they do have a lot more time alone," the insider says about Gwen, 55, and Blake, 48. "They go on long walks, write songs and play music together. Gwen cooks all their favorite foods, it's very nourishing," the source shares about the couple. "Right now, they go whenever they have downtime, but it's usually just a few days. They are looking forward to having a good couple of months there soon, where they can really recharge," the insider reveals. Gwen's three sons Kingston,19, Zuma, 16, and Apollo, 11, — whom she shares with ex-husband Gavin Rossdale — will be spending more time in Oklahoma as well. Blake introduced the boys to the ranch early on in the couple's relationship, and they've become big fans of fishing and ATV riding on the vast property. "The boys will come with them, and they'll fly their friends out too. They have tons of space and have a more the merrier vibe at the farm," the source says. "Gwen and Blake both love hosting, they're a great match in that way. They will throw their annual July 4th party, that's being planned right now, they're excited," the insider adds. In addition to the holiday, the couple will be celebrating their fourth wedding anniversary on July 3. Blake had a chapel built on his 1,300-acre ranch in Tishomingo, Oklahoma, for the nuptials, as they tied the knot on the property in 2021. The duo began dating in 2015 after working together on The Voice and going through divorces at the same time. Blake and ex-wife Miranda Lambert announced their split in July 2015, while Gwen and Gavin, 59, did the same the following month. Gwen shared a fun memory of her family visiting the "Texas" singer's ranch for the first time during a November 2019 appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show. "I remember the first time I went to Oklahoma with my family — we are from Anaheim [California], we'd never seen even trees before — so we were like, 'Wow, this is crazy!'" she recalled. "And we're driving and Blake's in his truck, and there's a tree that had been blown down on the road and Blake gets out and he's like, 'All right,' and he gets in the back of the truck — he has a big chain and he pulls it out, he wraps it around the tree, and pulls." "My whole family's like, 'Oh my God! He's a man!'" she gushed, which made Kelly, 43, burst out laughing. It took some time for the Southern California native to adjust to life in the country, where Blake feels the most at home. "I am not really a dirt person, a bug person, I don't like that much humidity," Gwen told People in 2023. "But you sort of get over it all because it's so beautiful [in Oklahoma], and you kind of feel like you're going into this vortex and it's just different here — I guess it's just nature, and God, is all right there."

La Grenouille, the epitome of fine French dining, has been transformed into a delicious chain restaurant — but it still looks the same
La Grenouille, widely acknowledged as the city's prettiest restaurant for more than a half-century, closed last fall. But its gorgeous ghost is back at 3 E. 52nd Street, where frogs' legs have given way to Beijing-style duck. The former home of classic French cuisine has surprisingly been reborn as a location of iDen & Quanjude Beijing Duck House — an empire of fowl-focused restaurants that originated in 1864 in the Chinese capital. Remarkably, the new owners have lovingly preserved the timeless look of La Grenouille. 7 The fabled La Grenouille closed last fall after more than five decades. Gabriella Bass 7 The location has been reborn as a location of iDen & Quanjude Beijing Duck House — an empire of fowl-focused restaurants that originated in 1864 in the Chinese capital. Olga Ginzburg for NY Post General manager Wayne Pan explained, 'We had many thoughts about redesigning it like our restaurant in Vancouver' — the Quanjude brand's only other North American location that's elegant in a cool, modern style. (There are about fifty in China.) 'But people suggested not to do that, and to keep most of the old La Grenouille, because it has so many good memories for New Yorkers,' Pan said. The new restaurant's owner, Andy Zhang, also owns the Canadian location, and he bought the chateau-like 1871 former carriage house in Midtown NYC last year for $14.2 million. He and his wife divide their time between NYC and Vancouver and had enjoyed dining at La Grenouille. 'They made a decision to preserve it,' Pan explained. The jewel-box, 80-seat dining room looks almost exactly as it did when its predecessor drew luminaries from Frank Sinatra and Elizabeth Taylor to Blake Lively and Adrien Brody. The room's seductively retro crimson banquettes, gold fabric walls, beveled mirrors, and flattering lighting — from recessed ceiling fixtures and sconces — have all been perfectly preserved like a ship in a bottle. An abundance of fresh flowers in the L-shaped dining room further keep the La Grenouille spirit alive. Only the wall paintings are new, although in the same Belle Epoque style as before. The vibe is still romantic, sexy and hushed, save for classical strains of Haydn, Schumann and Mendelssohn. 7 La Grenouille was famed for its elegant interiors, which included gold-fabric walls, red booths, soft lighting and fresh flowers. Victoria Will 7 The owners of the new restaurant have preserved the iconic interiors. Olga Ginzburg for NY Post The food, however, is a different animal entirely. Instead of Dover sole in Dijon and Hollandaise sauces, Quanjude's menu is built around crispy-skin Beijing duck, which is carved tableside for guests to roll into thin Chinese pancakes with scallions and Hoisin sauce. The bird from Pennsylvania's Jurgielewicz farm was flavor-rich and winningly moist beneath its amber skin. Pan said only the kitchen and second floor needed to be updated. But there's work ahead to bring the service fully up to speed. On my early visit, nervous waiters oddly kneeled while taking orders and first brought us an effervescent mystery beverage when we ordered Sauvignon Blanc — the only white-by-the-glass available from a wine list yet to be written. They're taking a very limited number of reservations 'while we're training the staff,' Pan said. 7 iDen & Quanjude Beijing Duck House is best know for its Beijing duck. Olga Ginzburg for NY Post 7 Allen Ren is the chef at the New York restaurant — and the Michelin-starred Vancouver outpost. Olga Ginzburg for NY Post 7 The duck is delicious, and there are many other fine dishes on the menu. Olga Ginzburg for NY Post The menu is already worth a try. In addition to the $128 'signature' duck that three of us couldn't finish, chef Allen Ren, who's also the toque at the Michelin-starred Quanjude in Vancouver, is turning out other fine dishes such as tangy, Shanghai-styled smoked fish and plum sauce and beef Zha Jiang noodles. The food is as grown-up as the vibe, which mercifully restores decorum to the room after La Grenouille's zany final decade. Owner Philippe Masson turned the place into a part-time cabaret that chased away its boldface buzz. Masson himself crooned 'in a voice that combined the boom of a sportscaster with the swagger of an Elvis impersonator … even growling like a cat,' the New York Times snarked in 2021. All that aside, the good news is that the unabashed glamour of the city's most beautiful place to eat lives on.
