Simple chic Christmas
Finding yourself pressed for time (and cash) this holiday season? Award–winning interior designer, and host of the weekly lifestyle series Moment of Luxury, Bill Stubbs tells us how to have a simple and chic Christmas:
Once upon a cold, sad time some years ago, back in the 20th Century, I was not prepared for my first Christmas as a single father of two. Christmas Eve was upon me and I had no tree or decorations. I went to sleep asking God for help.
Christmas morning I awoke with the idea that someone would discard a tree before my children arrived. I went to the dumpster and waiting there was a beautiful 7-foot tree complete with a stand! It occurred to me I could create decorations with white printer paper, so I found the scissors and went to work. Paper snowflakes, paper chains and angels transformed the tree into a vision in white -- all done for a cost of $3.00.
My children remember that Christmas with great fondness and laughter the year Dad found a tree in the dumpster and decorated it with white paper!

Stash Can
I few months ago I spent a small fortune on this sleek, tubular, very attractive stainless steel garbage can -- and it has been the bane of my existence ever since (not to mention the cause of several spats between my husband and I). Because of it's shape, it holds next to nothing. When you remove the bag (after prying open the latches that secure it) it tears due to the inner springs. And then there is the issue of the stainless steel and the lovely fingerprints.
The arrival of the Stash Can from quirky earlier this month has made my life easier. The community developed trash can is designed to ease everyday kitchen hassle and minimize mess. The StashCan accomplishes this through its built in storage compartment that holds a supply of trash bags.
The Stash Can is the seventeenth product designed and developed by the quirky community since quirky’s launch on June 2nd. quirky gives everyone the chance to get product ideas out of their heads and onto shelves.
