Mr. and Mrs. Bun: Don’t Miss the Blueberry Ketchup

October 30, 2015 1:22 pm

Short ribs. Pork belly. Barbecue chicken. They're all standard sandwich stuffings at Mr. and Mrs. Bun, a Peruvian sandwich shop in Miami that does things a bit differently. Instead of just offering typical bread-bookended eats, it dishes out some authentic Peruvian fare (think asado sandwiches and spinach empanadas), as well as inventive new American creations.

Have you ever tasted a dollop of sweet-tangy blueberry ketchup? If the answer is no, then you're missing out on one of Mr. and Mrs. Bun's most condiments. Try it with the signature sweet potato fries or squeeze it right on top of your boneless buffalo wing sandwich. Save some room for one of the eatery's sweet treats, too, like the Nutella mason jar—it's decadent enough to sate even the most persistent sweet tooth.

3 Interior Decorator Secrets Everyone Should Know

October 27, 2015 10:55 am

So you’re not an interior decorator by trade? No sweat! When it comes to decorating your rental, all it takes are a few tricks from the professionals to make your home look like it belongs on the pages of a design magazine. Here are a few secrets that interior decorators don’t mind sharing.

  1. Arrange furniture in the way that makes the most sense. If you’re constantly tripping over furniture or struggling to reach things on shelves, you likely don’t have your room arranged in the most functional way. Don’t be afraid to rearrange the room until it works — or even to get rid of pieces that you don’t really need.
  2. Add good lighting. If you’re lucky enough to have lots of windows in your apartment, play up the natural light with sheer curtains or neutral-colored blinds. If you don’t have much natural light, fake it with daylight-imitating light bulbs.
  3. Use light or neutral colors. Choose furnishings in light or neutral colors to create an airy, open feeling.
  4. Add art. Adding framed art to every wall is a great way to decorate your apartment without taking up precious space. Create an eclectic gallery wall or add a series of three large frames to create the illusion of depth. Don't forget to add mirrors!
