Hanna Nation Seabrook Gives Old-school Stationery a Modern Twistnew

DIY: Skip the wreath and make a monogramnew
The traditional evergreen wreath will always hold a special place in our hearts, but it's fun to mix things up every now and then. Typography is having a major moment in the design world, and a simple letter can make a bold statement, especially when covered in berries and hung on your front door. This project is great because it's affordable — less than $8 for all of the supplies — and it's really versatile.

Queen Anne's Revenge Embraces More than Pirate Historynew
If you haven't been to Queen Anne's Revenge recently you've missed some significant changes. Yes, it's still a pirate-themed restaurant named after one of Blackbeard's ships, and the dining area remain largely unchanged with rough-hewn tables hanging by chains from the ceiling and swords and other pirate relics lining the entryway. The bar area, however, has been totally revamped, a new large outdoor deck added, and, most importantly, the menu has been significantly overhauled.
