15 Furniture Pieces You Should Definitely Buy (but Haven’t Thought to) for Your Home

Starting with your first shoebox out of college and all the way through to the place you’ve called home for a few years now, we’re willing to bet you’ve been living with a mix of inherited, thrifted, and budget furniture. But do you really have everything you need for a real adult setup? These 15 finds are pieces you should definitely buy, but may not have thought to in the haze of growing pains.

Bedroom

1. Anthropologie Geo-Marquetry Armoire ($1398): Dressers and closets are basic necessities, but an actual armoire is something everyone should own. Use it to store linens or a home for those special pieces.

2. Biltmore Vanity Set ($204): It’s time to put a sense of occasion back into your beauty routine. Vanities are useful for storing all your makeup necessities, helping to clear up clutter in the bathroom.

3. Deny Designs Floral Bench ($199): Benches fit into almost any space in your home, but they make an even better option for your bedroom. Place it at the end of your bed or next to your closet for a shoe station.

Dining Room

4. Mark And Graham Butler Tray ($131): This foldaway piece provides storage when needed but stashes nicely when you don’t.

5. CB2 Bar Cabinet ($1299): A cocktail station that can be neatly tucked away into a cabinet should be a staple in every home. It will prevent dust on your bottles and glassware while also keeping them safe from wagging tails and little hands.

6. Mod-ish Vortex Side Chairs ($300, set of two): It’s time to ditch those inherited dining room chairs for something a little sleeker. Pick some up that complement your current color scheme.

Living Room

7. Castillo End Table ($72): If you don’t already own a C-table, you’ve been missing out. These space-saving gems can be used as end tables or brought around to hover above your lap while you work.

8. Tatin Velvet Ottoman ($345): A stylish ottoman can be used to put your feet up or as an extra seat in a pinch. You could even put a small tray on top for your morning cup of joe.

9. World Market Walnut Console Table ($175): With a slim profile and the height to match your couch, a console table offers an extra surface for lamps, decor, and beverages.

Bathroom

10. Urban Outfitters Perforated Storage Unit ($98): Above-toilet storage systems aren’t exactly stylish, and hiding your toiletries may not be practical. This metal shelving tower makes the most of the situation.

11. Love Joy Create Laundry Basket ($98): A pretty hamper makes collecting all your dirty clothes and linens a more organized (and colorful) affair.

12. Serena & Lily Teak Towel Ladder ($348): No one wants to share a towel rod or mess around with hooks and holes in drywall. A leaning ladder solves all your bathroom problems.

Kitchen

13. Wayfair Wood Step Stool ($279): A step stool is always a good idea. Buy it and store it — you’ll be glad you have it when you need it.

14. Domino Caspar Bar Stool ($79): Extra kitchen seating is a must if you’re always cooking, chopping, and baking. Add a few to your chopping block area or built-in bar.

15. IKEA STENSTORP Rolling Island ($149): The answer to your MasterChef prayers is a rolling kitchen island with a built-in cutting board. Keep it tucked away, or place it center stage for extra prep space.

This post has been updated with additional reporting by Meredith Holser.

The Wicked moviepress tour has been a truly beautiful thing to witness. Ariana Grande & Cynthia Erivo have cried in almost every interview because of how much they love their characters and each other, and it seems like working on this project really did heal something in them. So, after the sincerity of their interviews, I was really taken aback when I learned Dax Shepard had Cynthia Erivo on his Armchair Expert podcast...and chose to ask her about going to the bathroom?

Keep reading for what Dax Shepard had to say and, like me, wonder why he asked it in the first place.

On an episode of his Armchair Expert podcast, Dax Shepard asked Oscar nominee Cynthia Erivo if her famously long nails make it difficult to wipe when she goes to the bathroom. “I knew you would ask that,” Cynthia responds, saying “no one’s afraid” to ask such an intimate question.

“My answer is that nobody uses just their fingers to wipe their backside,” she says. “You use tissue, correct? And you wipe!”

When he asked if she was annoyed or offended by the question, Cynthia admits she's "annoyed by it."

“I'm, like, 'Come on, guys,' ” she says. “But I get it, but it's also, like, ‘I'm a functioning adult, and I've never walked around smelling like, you know…'"

Theo Wargo/Getty Images

The actress has proved she's nothing if not honest this fall, going viral for saying "thank goodness" the actresses who auditioned with her for Glinda didn't land the role and for vocalizinghow much a fan edit of the Wicked movie poster offended her (she later admitted she should have texted her friends instead of posting on social media).

Now, this question was very weird to me for a few reasons. Not only does it have nothing to do with the film, but Dax asking Cynthia about her bathroom habits gives me a similar feeling to the one I got watching that male interviewer ask Scarlett Johansson about her underwear during Avengers: Age of Ultron press. Just...what is the reason? Plus, the fact Cynthia has also been vocal about how much she values her nails as a part of Black culture only makes the question (and the fact the nails feel like, no pun intended, the butt of the joke) weirder.

"Here’s the thing," Cynthia tells Dax before switching topics. "There are people who do not have nails who need to check how they’re wiping." Get 'em girl!

What did you think about this Armchair Expert interview with Dax Shepard and Cynthia Erivo? Let us know in the comments and read up on The Latest Wicked: Part Two News!

Halloween is supposed to be full of spooky surprises, freaky frights, and twisted thrills – but even though we really do love ALL the scary Halloween costumes, we also enjoy killing the disguise game in hilariously original, pun-filled get-ups.

What is the plot of Babygirl?

A24

Babygirl Plot

In Babygirl, Nicole Kidman plays Romy, a powerful CEO struggling to hold her perfect persona together. Her marriage to Jacob has never provided with much pleasure, despite the fact he's caring and artistic. But when Romy meets a young intern named Samuel, and feels immediately drawn to him, the two begin a torrid affair.

And filming scenes with Harry Dickinson got so intense, Kidman said she literally had to take breaks. “There were times when we were shooting where I was like, ‘I don’t want to orgasm any more,'” she told the Sun. “Don’t come near me. I hate doing this. I don’t care if I am never touched again in my life!”

But the fact the movie was made by women empowered Kidman — and gave her a sense of freedom. "Doing this subject matter in the hands of the woman that wrote the script, that's directing it and is a really great actress herself — we became one in a weird way, which I'd never had with a director before," Kidman says in a statement. "When you're working with a woman on this subject matter, you can share everything with each other.”

"I really decided in the beginning, I want to make a sexual film, just as sexual as all these films that I've always admired so much," adds writer-director-producer Halina Reijn, "but now I'm going to do it completely through female eyes. What does that mean and what does that look like?”

What has Nicole Kidman said about making Babygirl?

In an interview with Vanity Fair, Nicole Kidman revealed Babygirl is the most "exposing" film she's done because she's “made some films that are pretty exposing, but not like this.”

“It left me raggedm" Kidman says. "At some point I was like, I don’t want to be touched. I don’t want to do this anymore, but at the same time I was compelled to do it...This is something you do and hide in your home videos. It is not a thing that normally is going to be seen by the world.”

“I felt very exposed as an actor, as a woman, as a human being,” she continues. “I had to go in and go out like, I need to put my protection back on. What have I just done? Where did I go? What did I do?”

What does babygirl energy mean?

A24

"Babygirl" is a term of endearment that's usually applied to a man (you've probably heard it describe Pedro Pascal or Paul Mescal). When someone is giving babygirl energy, they're kind, cute, and disarming. And considering Babygirl plays with power dynamics, we could be guessing who the "babygirl" in question is up until the very end.
