I basically furnished my home at Wayfair: Shop my favorite furniture deals here Save up to 80% at Wayfair's April Way Day sale this weekend.
When I bought my first home in 2020 (yes, that 2020), I was horrified by how much furniture I needed. Moving from a one-bedroom apartment to a home with two bedrooms, two home offices and all the usual living spaces required a major shopping spree. I lucked out by being an excellent thrifter and having a family with a surprising amount of furniture they needed to off-load, but Wayfair was my go-to retailer for a lot of new stuff.

Looking for a unique way to style flowers? Martha Stewart and Meghan Markle's vase alternatives will make you rethink conventional vessels
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. There's never a bad time to dress your entryway with flowers, but if there's ever a particularly good time, it's summer. It goes without saying that the upcoming season offers every excuse to fill your rooms with beautiful blooms, but for 2025, I wanted to take things further than a conventional glass vase. This is where Meghan Markle and Martha Stewart's inspiration comes into play. A unifying thread between Meghan and Martha is their unique alternatives to vases. Starting with Meghan. She recently shared footage of her flower arrangement from her Montecito home, in which she styles roses in a cream urn, typically a vessel that's used for much larger flower arrangements. It's undeniably unique; however, it's not the first time I've seen a unique vase alternative this week. Only a few days ago, the celebrity style team also covered how Martha Stewart uses footed compote bowls as a substitute for a classic flower vase, and I couldn't help but notice the similarities between her choice and Meghan's urn, despite Martha's footage dating back through the decades. This planter offers durability and style for your entryway, living room, or outside on your patio. It's perfectly sized for presenting your favorite plants and flowers in a modern and stylish manner. Was $84, now $73.99 at Wayfair Nothing says chic like a glass compote bowl, and this sturdy, Roman-style one meets the mark. From $19.99 on Amazon Give your flower arrangement a luxe vessel with this gold compote bowl, featuring a dainty stem and scalloped edges. From $26.99 on Amazon Despite seeing Meghan's and Martha's vase alternatives in the same week, the latter is certainly nothing new. Martha Stewart first showed off her footed compote arrangement over three decades ago, but the lessons remain just as inspiring in 2025. 'This is a footed compote really meant for candy or fruit, and just take the covers off,' she says in the footage. I have a pair of these and I'm really very fond of them for flower arranging. They stand up off the table and they're pretty.' Martha also shared a tip to ensure your footed compote bowls remain fit for purpose after you get rid of your blooms. 'Protect your containers with a little bit of plastic. If this were silver, the frogs might scratch it, and if it's glass too, a little bit of rust might be left in the bottom of the bowl,' she demonstrates. 'I'm going to use this large spring frog placed right on top of that plastic.' Is this the summer of unconventional vases? With examples from Meghan and Martha to follow, I'm unlikely to go back to a regular flower vessel for the rest of the season.

Berkeley's latest downtown drama: Pickleball on the top of a parking garage
The trend of converting little-used parking garage rooftops to pickleball courts could be coming to downtown Berkeley, although, like most things involving the booming sport, there is opposition brewing. Neighborhood Pickleball LLC, started by Orinda resident Jim Jenkins, is proposing to put three courts on the 6th floor of the parking garage at 2061 Allston Way, a structure that lies to the east of the Berkeley YMCA and across the street from the Mangalam Research Center and Berkeley City College. The proposal comes as remote work has left once-full garages largely vacant. The San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency is exploring the possibility of putting pickleball on two of its under-utilized garages — Sutter-Stockton and 5th and Mission– as use has fallen by 61% since 2018. Other garage rooftops-to-pickleball conversions are in the works in New York, New Hampshire, Maryland and Texas. Jenkins said that he started looking at parking garages after visiting a friend's pickleball club in Austin, Texas, which features five courts atop a car park. He said he liked the low-key community vibe, which reminded him of the early days of the pandemic when the racquet sport was just taking off — before the courts became overcrowded and in some cases hours were cut back because of noise complaints from neighbors or conflict with tennis players. 'It feels like a neighborhood park, it doesn't feel like a big pickleball facility,' he said. 'It's optimized for community and social interaction over sheer number of pickleball courts.' When Jenkins expressed his admiration to Jay Lerner, the Austin Club owner, 'He was like 'Go back to the Bay Area and find a garage.'' 'I looked at every garage from Berkeley to Oakland to San Francisco all the way down to San Jose,' Jenkins said. 'What I learned is that there is nobody parking on top of a single garage in the Bay Area. They are all dead. And many of them have closed the top several floors.' Several of the garages don't work for pickleball because the surface is not level, but the Allston Way property is perfect and he said the owners are enthusiastic. Jenkins says the Berkeley club would be low-key with a small membership and some corporate events. There will be an astroturf area with picnic tables, umbrellas and Adirondack chairs for socializing. The three courts would take up about one-third of the rooftop. 'I'm not doing this to be rich,' he said. 'It would be a place for folks to come and learn and grow and laugh and have a good time.' Opposition to the high-pitched popping of pickleball paddle on plastic ball has made the sport a pariah in some neighborhoods. A campaign to eliminate pickleball from courts at San Francisco's Presidio Wall — an initiative launched by a homeowner who had her own private pickleball court — prompted the city to cut public hours of play. In Piedmont the City Council cut hours of pickleball play from 84 to 55. Meanwhile, Jenkins said that, like many pickleball players, he finds himself driving all over the Bay Area in search of courts where dozens of people are not waiting to play. Overcrowded public courts have 'scattered communities,' with many players joining private clubs like the Bay Club, which has 125 courts across the West Coast, including some at the Bay Club Gateway on the Embarcadero, where abutting condo owners are suing over noise. In downtown Berkeley, where the city council has to approve the use permit, there may already be some opposition forming. Jack Petranker, director of the Mangalam Research Center for Buddhist Languages which sits across from the garage at 2018 Allston Way, said he saw the notices posted on the property indicating that Neighborhood Pickleball LLC had filed for a use permit to put courts on the roof. He said he had been unfamiliar with the sport but was not thrilled with what he read about it. 'I saw reports that it sounded like gunshots — plastic on plastic,' he said. 'It would be pretty disruptive.' Mangalam Research Center, which publishes books and holds conferences and lectures, said the courts would be directly across from the managing editor's office as well as from a residential unit where several full-time volunteers are housed. He reached out to Berkeley City Councilmember Igor Tregub, who said he couldn't take a position because the proposed use permit would come before the council. 'Right now it's early days in the process and I'm looking forward to hearing from the community,' he said. 'My commitment is to be able to have recreational opportunities in the downtown and ensure that the quality of life of the neighbors is also preserved.' Jenkins said when he started playing four years ago he assumed Bay Area cities would rush to accommodate the burgeoning sport. If that had been the case, he wouldn't feel the need to open his own club. 'It turned out that I was totally wrong,' he said. 'Every city said, 'This is a big pain in the butt. The complaints are a nightmare so we are going to let the private folks come in and build the courts.''

Sellout Risk! These Resort-style Lounge Chairs Are Back in Stock and 71% Off
Sun-dwellers—and sand-haters—who like to lay out on the beach or by the pool know the importance of a comfy lounge chair. These recliners are ideal for kicking back and relaxing, reading a book, or basking in the sun. While they're practically synonymous with cocktail umbrellas and warm-weather vacations at luxe, 5-star hotels, they also deserve a spot in your own backyard. Whether you're planning a staycation this summer or just looking to furnish your space with resort-inspired pieces, the Nestl Chaise Lounge Chair set is back in stock and an ideal pick for any outdoor setup. The two-chair set has sold out in the past, but right now you can snag it on sale for 71 percent off at Wayfair. This set comes in both black and light gray, and both colors are currently marked down for just $86 apiece. While affordable, these lounge chairs are 'very sturdy and comfortable,' according to one shopper. They are also easy to assemble, per that same reviewer, who said they were 'out of the box and poolside in minutes.' A second customer agreed that the chairs took 'two minutes to put together.' Any superior piece of patio furniture needs to be durable, and this set is UV-, rust-, and mildew-resistant. One shopper who was looking for a 'solid and sturdy' set that would stand up to a 'humid climate,' called this set the ideal pick. While these chairs can sit out in the sun all summer long, they are also stackable for easy storage. Another reviewer also said they are 'so lightweight' and 'easy to move around.' Similar to most chaise lounge chairs, these have an adjustable backrest that can be set to five different heights depending on your preference, including a fully flat-lay option, making them ideal for a bite by the pool, taking a quick nap, or any other lounge need in between. While you can buy lounge chair cushions separately to customize this set to suit your taste, one shopper said they are 'beautiful and very comfortable even without cushions.' These chaise lounge chairs will likely sell out again, so snag them while they're in stock and on sale for 71 percent off at Wayfair. For more outdoor chair sales, keep scrolling. Love a great deal?
