Good news as FG moves to Save $480m rice importation bill with local productionWASHINGTON D.C., DC — As a former and potentially future president, Donald Trump hailed what would become Project 2025 as a road map for “exactly what our movement will do” with another crack at the White House. As the blueprint for a hard-right turn in America became a liability during the 2024 campaign, Trump pulled an about-face . He denied knowing anything about the “ridiculous and abysmal” plans written in part by his first-term aides and allies. Now, after being elected the 47th president on Nov. 5, Trump is stocking his second administration with key players in the detailed effort he temporarily shunned. Most notably, Trump has tapped Russell Vought for an encore as director of the Office of Management and Budget; Tom Homan, his former immigration chief, as “border czar;” and immigration hardliner Stephen Miller as deputy chief of policy . Those moves have accelerated criticisms from Democrats who warn that Trump's election hands government reins to movement conservatives who spent years envisioning how to concentrate power in the West Wing and impose a starkly rightward shift across the U.S. government and society. Trump and his aides maintain that he won a mandate to overhaul Washington. But they maintain the specifics are his alone. “President Trump never had anything to do with Project 2025,” said Trump spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt in a statement. “All of President Trumps' Cabinet nominees and appointments are whole-heartedly committed to President Trump's agenda, not the agenda of outside groups.” Here is a look at what some of Trump's choices portend for his second presidency. As budget chief, Vought envisions a sweeping, powerful perch The Office of Management and Budget director, a role Vought held under Trump previously and requires Senate confirmation, prepares a president's proposed budget and is generally responsible for implementing the administration's agenda across agencies. The job is influential but Vought made clear as author of a Project 2025 chapter on presidential authority that he wants the post to wield more direct power. “The Director must view his job as the best, most comprehensive approximation of the President’s mind,” Vought wrote. The OMB, he wrote, “is a President’s air-traffic control system” and should be “involved in all aspects of the White House policy process,” becoming “powerful enough to override implementing agencies’ bureaucracies.” Trump did not go into such details when naming Vought but implicitly endorsed aggressive action. Vought, the president-elect said, “knows exactly how to dismantle the Deep State” — Trump’s catch-all for federal bureaucracy — and would help “restore fiscal sanity.” In June, speaking on former Trump aide Steve Bannon’s “War Room” podcast, Vought relished the potential tension: “We’re not going to save our country without a little confrontation.” Vought could help Musk and Trump remake government's role and scope The strategy of further concentrating federal authority in the presidency permeates Project 2025's and Trump's campaign proposals. Vought's vision is especially striking when paired with Trump's proposals to dramatically expand the president's control over federal workers and government purse strings — ideas intertwined with the president-elect tapping mega-billionaire Elon Musk and venture capitalist Vivek Ramaswamy to lead a “Department of Government Efficiency.” Trump in his first term sought to remake the federal civil service by reclassifying tens of thousands of federal civil service workers — who have job protection through changes in administration — as political appointees, making them easier to fire and replace with loyalists. Currently, only about 4,000 of the federal government's roughly 2 million workers are political appointees. President Joe Biden rescinded Trump's changes. Trump can now reinstate them. Meanwhile, Musk's and Ramaswamy's sweeping “efficiency” mandates from Trump could turn on an old, defunct constitutional theory that the president — not Congress — is the real gatekeeper of federal spending. In his “Agenda 47,” Trump endorsed so-called “impoundment,” which holds that when lawmakers pass appropriations bills, they simply set a spending ceiling, but not a floor. The president, the theory holds, can simply decide not to spend money on anything he deems unnecessary. Vought did not venture into impoundment in his Project 2025 chapter. But, he wrote, “The President should use every possible tool to propose and impose fiscal discipline on the federal government. Anything short of that would constitute abject failure.” Trump's choice immediately sparked backlash. “Russ Vought is a far-right ideologue who has tried to break the law to give President Trump unilateral authority he does not possess to override the spending decisions of Congress (and) who has and will again fight to give Trump the ability to summarily fire tens of thousands of civil servants,” said Sen. Patty Murray of Washington, a Democrat and outgoing Senate Appropriations chairwoman. Reps. Jamie Raskin of Maryland and Melanie Stansbury of New Mexico, leading Democrats on the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability, said Vought wants to “dismantle the expert federal workforce” to the detriment of Americans who depend on everything from veterans' health care to Social Security benefits. “Pain itself is the agenda,” they said. Homan and Miller reflect Trump's and Project 2025's immigration overlap Trump’s protests about Project 2025 always glossed over overlaps in the two agendas . Both want to reimpose Trump-era immigration limits. Project 2025 includes a litany of detailed proposals for various U.S. immigration statutes, executive branch rules and agreements with other countries — reducing the number of refugees, work visa recipients and asylum seekers, for example. Miller is one of Trump's longest-serving advisers and architect of his immigration ideas, including his promise of the largest deportation force in U.S. history. As deputy policy chief, which is not subject to Senate confirmation, Miller would remain in Trump's West Wing inner circle. “America is for Americans and Americans only,” Miller said at Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally on Oct. 27. “America First Legal,” Miller’s organization founded as an ideological counter to the American Civil Liberties Union, was listed as an advisory group to Project 2025 until Miller asked that the name be removed because of negative attention. Homan, a Project 2025 named contributor, was an acting U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement director during Trump’s first presidency, playing a key role in what became known as Trump's “family separation policy.” Previewing Trump 2.0 earlier this year, Homan said: “No one’s off the table. If you’re here illegally, you better be looking over your shoulder.” Project 2025 contributors slated for CIA and Federal Communications chiefs John Ratcliffe, Trump's pick to lead the CIA , was previously one of Trump's directors of national intelligence. He is a Project 2025 contributor. The document's chapter on U.S. intelligence was written by Dustin Carmack, Ratcliffe's chief of staff in the first Trump administration. Reflecting Ratcliffe's and Trump's approach, Carmack declared the intelligence establishment too cautious. Ratcliffe, like the chapter attributed to Carmack, is hawkish toward China. Throughout the Project 2025 document, Beijing is framed as a U.S. adversary that cannot be trusted. Brendan Carr, the senior Republican on the Federal Communications Commission, wrote Project 2025's FCC chapter and is now Trump's pick to chair the panel. Carr wrote that the FCC chairman “is empowered with significant authority that is not shared” with other FCC members. He called for the FCC to address “threats to individual liberty posed by corporations that are abusing dominant positions in the market,” specifically “Big Tech and its attempts to drive diverse political viewpoints from the digital town square.” He called for more stringent transparency rules for social media platforms like Facebook and YouTube and “empower consumers to choose their own content filters and fact checkers, if any.” Carr and Ratcliffe would require Senate confirmation for their posts.Bengaluru: One97 Communications (OCL), which runs digital payment platform Paytm , has announced that it is selling its 5.4% shareholding in Japanese payment company PayPay for ₹2,364 crore, or nearly $280 million, to SoftBank. In a stock exchange filing on Saturday, the Noida-based fintech said the shares will be transferred to SoftBank Vision Fund 2. Through the deal, PayPay will be valued at ₹1.06 trillion ($7 billion approximately). On Friday, Paytm in another stock exchange filing had said One97 Communications Singapore, the subsidiary entity through which the shares of PayPay were held, had passed a board resolution to undertake this sale. This comes after Paytm divested its entertainment and ticketing business Paytm Insider to Zomato for ₹2,048 crore. The PayPay stake sale will add to Paytm's cash pile. In the September quarterly results, the company had announced that it has a cash reserve of around ₹10,000 crore. Paytm CFO Madhur Deora had then said once the core business becomes cash positive, the board of directors will take a call on what to do with their reserves. In a statement to the press on Saturday, Paytm said the board of Paytm Singapore approved the sale process as its shares have created significant value for the company.

Sydney Sweeney Assured Bowen Yang Her ‘Euphoria’ Sex Scenes Prepared Her for a Viral ‘SNL’ Sketch
1. Stained glass window film for creating privacy (while keeping sunlight!!) and making your home look positively regal. If your place is old, without that charming "old home" character, this film is about to completely transform it. Promising review: "It's beautiful and installation was really easy. I love it. It is wonderful!!! The pattern changes color as the sun passes throughout the day. Really pretty." — Lily Fred Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in four sizes and six designs). 2. A handmade suitcase portable turntable with a design that suggests you snagged it from the set of Mad Men , even though the tech is anything but old school. This can convert your records into MP3 files, and it's compatible with 33, 45, and 78 rpm records. Promising review: "This works AWESOME. And my husband absolutely loves it. I bought this for him for Christmas and he thought it was the coolest thing. It’s also nice that it’s portable as it has a strap to carry it, and a latch to keep it closed. For what you pay for this product, you get all of it back and more." — Amber Get it from Amazon for $109.95 . 3. A pair of crystal drawer knobs sure to enhance your modern, modular furniture by making it look straight off the set of The Antiques Roadshow . Promising review: "I used these on bifold doors as the door handles. They are very pretty and have a subtle amount of bling when light hits the crystal! They are heavy and very well made. Installation was simple. I really love them on my doors!!" — Amazon Customer Get them from Amazon for $28.95 (available in five colors). 4. A drippy disco ball with a flat back so you can easily hang it, giving your gallery wall some extra glam. Promising review: "I love this disco ball wall hanging! It is very lightweight, so I'm not worried about it falling off my wall. The disco tiles look so good, there are hardly any gaps between the tiles which surprised me considering how curvy the shape of the disco ball drips are. I really like the hanger that is attached to the back, I know it is securely hanging on the nail in my wall. It takes up the perfect amount of space and I love how it looks in my home!" — Jamie Evans Get it from Amazon for $64.99 . 5. A ceiling medallion sure to add a great deal of elegance to your space. If you're starting to turn your builder's grade place into the Victorian home of your dreams, this is sure to have things looking up from the start! This is available in a large collection of colors, but several reviewers mention that it's easy to paint if you'd like the color to be just so . Promising review: "These medallions were much prettier than I expected and were super smooth for reception of paint. It took me a few days to decide on the color placement and style, as they will be in rooms that are visible to one another. Pre-colored medallions are expensive; doing it myself saved me money I used to upgrade my chandeliers." — Cris Get it from Amazon for $62.05+ (available in 60 colors). 6. Or a pack of lightweight glue-on foam ceiling tiles for covering up popcorn ceilings and turning your home into a historic stunner, despite it being built in 1987. Promising review: "If you’re even considering doing it JUST DO IT!! I can’t even begin to tell you how easy this was and the end result is mind blowing! When people come over (we’re remodeling our newly purchased home built in 1865) their jaws drop. We put this in the sunroom/eat in kitchen area. We love it so much we’ll be doing it in the bar area of the dining room. When you actually get them on the ceiling and look at your finished product, you’d never guess it’s styrofoam. Caulking between the tiles was crucial to giving its overall look. That was the most difficult part. My advice (from watching hours of YouTube videos and doing research) find the center of the ceiling and work your way out. It took us two hours to do a fairly large space. We definitely overestimated how many it would take but I’m glad we had extra on hand in the case we messed one up. Also — make sure your blade is SHARP!" — Steven Get them from Amazon for $25.96+ (available in packs of 8, 48, or 96 and in eight colors). 7. Moving sand wall art featuring two mountain landscapes that continuously shift and change thanks to their perfect placement between the clear panels. The sand oh-so-slowly drips from the top to the bottom, creating a calm and otherworldly piece of art you won't be able to take your eyes off of. The piece is designed to rotate, even when hung on a wall, so you can shift the sand when it's ready to switch sides. Promising review: " This works great and looks beautiful. The first day there were too many bubbles from the shipping process. After a day of being on the wall and flipping it a few times it settled in to work really well. Sometimes the sand stops but I slightly rotate it about an inch or two and it goes again. I recommend this, definitely. I also had fast shipping. It arrived in less than two weeks. The sun and moon photo in the background look good. I was worried it wouldn't look right with the photo in there but it's great." — Born of the Sea Get it from Amazon for $78+ (available in three sizes and 20 colors). 8. A terribly cool Tetris-esque lamp that's actually stackable! Adjust this '80s-era light whenever you get the hankering for a game of furniture Tetris. You're getting older, old enough to remember when Tetris came out... give your back a break. Promising review: "I’m loving my Tetris light!! And the ability to change it around is amazing — favorite item in the house!!!" — Leah Spencer Get it from Amazon for $23.99 (available in two styles). 9. A modern chandelier to make your living room look as colorful as your language. Promising review: "It's a hit! My toddler and I love it. Even friends that come over love it! It was easy to install, has BRIGHT lights, and the colors are vibrant. It's absolutely perfect for a toddler room!" — Chula Get it from Amazon for $49.99+ (available in three sizes). 10. A wall panel headboard set for upgrading your living room with wall art that is both functional and good-looking. Go ahead, make your place look like it was plucked straight out of a 5-star hotel even though your kids are constantly bouncing off the walls. And adding soft padding to walls where your kids love to jump around (i.e. sofas, beds, etc.) may save you from dealing with head bonk tears to boot! Promising review: "These wall panels are so versatile! You can do just about anything with them. They add a major LUXE quality to your home. You really can't go wrong with these!" — Chef Toni Leanne Get it from Amazon for $189+ (available in 31 colors and two sizes). 11. A faux zebra hide rug that'll give your living room a wild touch. Sometimes you stay up watching TV until 11 p.m....on a SCHOOL night. Party animal. Promising review: "I love, love, love this faux zebra rug. It's perfect for a little desk area and great for under the wheels of a chair. This is priced well and was delivered on time. It's so pretty!!" — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in four sizes and multiple styles). 12. An S-shaped stool , because you like your decor as curvy as you are. Hot. Promising review : "This ottoman is a great quality and feels sturdy when sitting on or when resting my legs on. The green color is rich and trendy, and makes for an excellent accent piece in any home. I highly recommend it!" — Eric Get it from Amazon for $69.99+ (available in three colors). 13. A shimmer chandelier made of iridescent tinsel that'll pack a big punch. This flat-pack friendly piece of decor is made with iridescent tinsel foil and it's 16" tall x 12" wide. Promising review: "This is fantastic! Good quality and looks really nice!" — JQ Get it from Amazon for $20.99 . 14. A bendable halo projector lamp with FIVE halo bulbs in total — get this, and you can make your late-night study sessions entertaining in an instant. See it in action on TikTok ! Promising review : "Love this lamp so much! So easy to put together and love that they give gels to create your own little mix-and-match of color. The lights are pretty bendy and don’t get too hot even after hours of use (you can still touch and bend them without getting burned). VERY bright light but creates a great wash for ambient reflective lighting." — Max Ferg Get it from Amazon for $119.99 . 15. A retro lamp that'll shine a light on your vivid, crayon-inspired color scheme brilliantly. See it on TikTok ! It comes with four bulbs, so you can plug it in and enjoy its cozy glow right away. Promising review : "Yes, it’s plastic. And yes, it’s a reproduction, but it looks so much better in person, especially when it’s turned on. It gives off the perfect soft lighting. Mid-century modern look without the hefty price tag. It is expensive for plastic, but if you wanted to purchase a similar style lamp from that period, it would be much more $$$, and it comes with bulbs. The on/off switch is on the cord, so I plugged mine into a plug with a battery-operated remote so I wouldn’t have to get behind my table to turn it on every time. Happy with purchase." — jacqueline l. gibson Get it from Amazon for $59.95 (available in five colors). 16. A positively wonky side table made of a solid piece of metal (no assembly required! Woohoo!) for folks who know a curious piece of furniture elevates a room tenfold. This three-tier piece has a lip on the top, making it a safe space for jewelry and trinkets that'd otherwise roll off a flat surface. Promising review: "This is extremely nice! No dents, excellent powder coat finish. I think people experiencing the dents are victims of rough shipping practices. I was kinda thinking I would find some, but fortunately all the corners were well protected with thick styrofoam padding. Maybe a little on the expensive side but not compared to what I wanted and found at other name-brand places." — Spottiswood Get it from Amazon for $119.99+ (available in three colors). 17. A whopping five-tier plant stand open on both sides, so you can see your plants from every angle. This can be an ideal option as a room divider in a small apartment, as it doesn't block any light but creates a divide between spaces. The open and airy shelving system also makes this great for plants that need to be in front of a window — don't lose that lovely sunlight! Reviewers have also used this to hang and store kitchen tools , as the wire grid top and various shelving sizes are great for pots and pans! Promising review: "This is a perfect way to add more plants to your home! It’s not too big but the height and various shelves make it a great accent piece. I was worried about my oversize cat knocking it over however it’s very sturdy! It’s not too heavy so I am able to move it around when I please (pictured above, left)." — Grace Get it from Amazon for $109.99+ (available in three colors). 18. A vinyl record stand for music enthusiasts who know the best form of decor is album art — and want some showcasing furniture to prove it. Promising review: "I'm very happy with this. Easy to build. Sturdy. Looks good. It's a great value." — Christopher M Davidson Get it from Amazon for $69.99+ (available in two sizes and colors). 19. A modern dimmable tree lamp , because lighting is often a neglected part of furnishing your home but it can be absolutely game changing. Promising review: "I had no idea how this was going to be put together but I knew it was cute and I wanted it. It’s literally a few pieces to screw into each other and you’re good to go. I did wish the cord wasn’t so long as it’s black and kinda just hangs there but it's no biggy, I just tucked it around the back pole. The lighting is amazing and has three different dimming settings. I love it." — Ariana Mercadel Get it from Amazon for $54.99+ (available in two colors). 20. A sardine trinket tray sure to look anything but ~fishy~ surrounded by the rest of your equally eclectic, curious decor. Promising review: "I love this fun, perfect-size little tray. I empty my pockets and leave everything on this when I get home every day." — Octavio Get it from Amazon for $18.95 . 21. A giant beanbag chair you can jump into when you need a soft landing at the end of a hard day. This can give you that pillowy, cloud-like satisfaction. Ahhh, I feel soothed just thinking about it. Promising review: "I love this chair for my work-from-home job. It is as comfortable as it looks. My issue is that my cat also really likes it so I don't get to sit in it much (pictured above, left)." — Matt & Gabby Get it from Amazon for $175.99+ (available in two sizes and four colors). 22. A metal storage cabinet that'll add a fun pop of color (and organization) to your currently cluttered living room... honestly, the whole place is a mess. Get more than one. Promising review: "I got three of these to use as storage consoles in my home office. I’m very happy with my purchase. They are a great height, as I really wanted something taller than a TV console. They feel sturdy and I like the color and design." — Mel Get it from Amazon for $119.11+ (available in three colors and two sizes). 23. A contemporary sling chair so you can show off your keen sense of taste even when you're sitting back and taking it easy. Promising review : "Fabric is soft and very nice. Pillows have funky stuffing and definitely require a good fluffing but this chair is certainly a comp for a higher-end one that costs well over $1,000. So still worth it in the end! They are very sturdy and took me almost an hour each to put together. I have a set of two." — Victoria Get it from Amazon for $98 (available in three colors). 24. A combined floor lamp and end table with lampshades in colors that'll bring together the Nora-Ephron-Meets-Murder-Mystery vibe you've expertly curated. Promising review: "I was looking for a lamp of this style and happened to come across this one. It had no reviews so I was suspicious, but for the price I took the chance. Best gamble ever! This lamp is so beautiful and the quality is amazing. The marble base is like real, sturdy marble. Gold finishing looks so expensive. Table is not flimsy at all. I absolutely love it and can’t believe I was able to find this for such a deal." — Sarah Diaz Get it from Amazon for $77.49+ (available in four colors). 25. A fuzzy faux-fur throw you can cover yourself up in when you wish you were laying in a field of flowers but are, in fact, sprawled out on your living room floor. With a blanket this nice and fluffy? Those two activities might as well be the same thing. Promising review: "I love the colors on this blanket. It’s a beautiful accent piece and adds a lot of character to the space. Very happy with my purchase." — Katie Get it from Anthropologie for $128 (available in two colors). 26. A yarn tapestry that'll give a soft, calming texture to a stark wall. I love a wall full of prints with my whole heart, but mixing textures is a cozy trend worth keeping around! Promising review: "As I unwrapped the safety packaging, I found myself in awe at how beautiful this piece really is in person. You can tell it was put together by loving hands. They included the sweetest note with this piece that together with the care and time this purchase took, really made you a part of the family it came from. I don’t consider myself someone who is attached to material things, but this art came with some strong positive vibes that we really needed in our household. I can’t thank the creators enough for the opportunity to purchase this piece. It is now my favorite Amazon purchase." — Katie Get it from Amazon for $49.50+ (available in 10 colors). 27. A frosted globe floor lamp sure to look right at home whether you're holding tight to a sleek minimalist aesthetic or want a striking piece to add to the chaos in your maximalist space. We love it all! Promising review: "I originally bought one and just purchased two more. This lamp is incredible. The light it gives off is so warm, soft, and comforting. It is so easy to assemble – it took me less than five minutes and barely had to look at the instructions. It also looks great – it's very simple and chic. For the price you really couldn’t do any better. It’s amazing. Definitely get it if you’re considering it, you won’t regret it." — Jane Get it from Amazon for $49.99+ (available in four colors). 28. A pair of rainbow drip candles that'll fit inside a vase, wine bottle, or candle holder, creating a custom piece of decor with cascading colors that'll be downright dreamy. Promising review: " These have to be the coolest thing I have ever purchased. I have them in an empty wine bottle. I will be buying many more to cover the entire bottle in wax." — Bre Get them from Amazon for $6.99 . 29. A set of mirror tiles with over 3,000 5-star reviews (!!!) you can easily stick onto walls with the provided damage-free stickers. Reviewers love these for their adjustability, often using them in awkward spaces that won't support traditional mirrors (like the reviewer's bar nook below). These are also often used in garages and workout rooms! Promising review: "These mirrors are fabulous! I'm glad I got them, I've ordered more since the first purchase! None of them came broken or chipped. I used only the stickers they provided; nine per mirror. They send a ton of them so you don't have to be stingy with the stickers. But when I did take one down it didn't do any damage to the paint or wall. Great product!! Make sure you wipe your walls down before hand and you'll be good to go!!" — Jessica Get four 14" x 12" pieces from Amazon for $18.99 (available in several set sizes and styles). 30. A sideboard storage cabinet sure to look like a piece you picked up at a mid-century-modern furniture fair. The doors *roll* open, which only adds to the vintage appeal. Promising review: "We love our new cabinet! This was the perfect addition to our cozy space. It was easy to build without compromising sturdiness. The look of this cabinet is very on-trend, yet timeless. The color looks just like the product images. Reasonable pricing for the look and quality. " — EdgarDC Get it from Amazon for $630+ (available in two sizes and three finishes). 31. A woodland shield mirror available in several sizes and featuring all kinds of little critters. If you, like me, absolutely *love* the outdoors (ahem, when it's just a decoration) this "manor mirror" is gonna be your next perfect purchase. Promising review: "This is hanging over my daughter’s changing table/dresser in her nursery. Absolutely love." — AllisonArcher Get it from Anthropologie for $298+ (available in four styles). 32. A round coffee table with a distressed gray finish that creates an almost ceramic appearance, despite being lightweight enough to move around with ease when you're feeling like shaking things up in your space with a game of furniture Tetris. Promising review: "Seems like it will stand the test of time (and kids)! Aesthetically pleasing but also functional. Love the slight textured detail." — Marinewifey Get it from Target for $380 (available in two colors). 33. Or a glass-top coffee table for folks who feel all squiggly inside every time they see one of these wacky, wavy pieces of furniture. Promising review: "Expensive but very worth it!! I love how it looks — it is a piece of art itself. Perfect if you have a nice rug. It’s best for small spaces where you need a table but don't want the feeling of it taking up space. This table does just that. It was an investment for me but it came out worth it. Get it." — VladNYC Get it on sale from Urban Outfitters for $399 (originally $599; available in two colors). 34. A jungle mural I am personally drooling over at this very moment. The faded, lived-in aesthetic is sure to make your wall look plucked straight out of a Victorian mansion. Promising review: "The mural came sooner than expected. My daughter and I cut the strips and laid them under a carpet to straighten them out. It went up well. It did not take long at all and it came out awesome ." — Paula Harris Get it from Amazon for $82.99 (available in 20 styles). 35. A set of floating bookshelves that'll add a lot of magic to your plain white walls, while saving your minimal floor space from bulky bookshelves. Each shelf holds up to 15 pounds, and reviewers recommend putting your largest, heaviest books at the bottom of each shelf for more support. Promising review: "These are so much fun! We ordered the small size, which fits standard hardback books (approximately 5–7 hardbacks in my experience). They're a great way to add some extra storage to our very small home , and we've placed them in our hallway so people ask us about them all the time. I'd highly recommend!" — LaBuenaVidaMere Get a small set of three from Amazon for $24.29 (also available in a large set and individually). 36. A hammered glass ceiling light with brushed brass hardware and an iridescent glow — this is sure to dazzle everyone who walks down your hallway with its diamond-like lighting effect. Promising review: " I’ve never loved something from Amazon as much as I love this light fixture. We call it our disco hallway! It gives off great light, and as you can see in the photo (pictured above, right), it’s like a rainbow prism on the walls and ceiling, but beneath it is regular lighting, so it can be used in all types of rooms. Seriously, get it! If the pendant style would have worked in my dining room I would have gotten it for there as well. I’m obsessed." — Jesi Get it from Amazon for $107.99+ (available in two styles). 37. A woven pendant light for folks who want to create an upscale, open, and breezy vibe in their home that'd make Architectural Digest jealous. Promising review: "I cannot say enough about this light fixture. It’s perfect for our dining room gives that mid-century bohemian feel and we get compliments all the time on it." — Kayleen Amero Get it from Amazon for $79.99 . 38. A full length irregular mirror made with a wood frame covered in plush fabric, giving the entire piece a high-end vibe that's sure to improve the look of any room — all on its own. Promising review: " This is exquisitely made. It's heavy duty and the actual mirror quality is premium. Feels high end. Highly recommend. Pictures do not do it justice." — Jessica Meja Get it from Amazon for $114.99+ (available in four colors). 39. Gorgeous felt "tile" wall art — these customizable pieces are sound-dampening and pinnable (like cork board) for creating decorated walls that have useful functions in the home. This splurge-worthy art has quickly become one of my all-time favorite pieces of decor. I live in a loft that's right in the middle of a music school...so it gets loud. And not necessarily good. Ever heard an hour-long violin lesson from a beginner? It's rough. Having these sound dampeners on the wall has made such a difference! Each display is gorgeous (their color palettes are literally award-winning), and they complement so many different interior design styles (I have the Quilting Star, and if my apartment was cleaner right now, I'd show you). Owner and creator Talley Goodson has made the products from this small, Utah-based business a must-have home good. Get the floral version from Felt Right for $199.95+ (available in six colors and various sizes and styles ). 40. A pair of plush velvet pillow covers with large ruffled edges and rich jewel tones to add depth and interest to your living room. If you like walls in black, dark navy, or dark green, then having cozy, plush materials like velvet can organically complement that dark, romantic aesthetic. Remember to grab some pillow inserts while you're shopping. Promising review: "It's a gorgeous color, and the velvet is soft and has a lovely sheen. For this price, I didn't expect anything this beautiful." — Glencora Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in five colors). 41. A 360-degree swivel chair (!!!) so you can relax at the end of the day and spin around, looking at the home you have perfectly crafted to be all your own. Promising review: "I really love these chairs. They were very easy to put together. The screws and tools were provided, and assembly only took five minutes. They are sturdy and pretty and swivel very well. I think they are delightful, cozy, fun chairs at a reasonable price! " — Lori Lynn & Zeke Get it from Amazon for $169.99+ (available in 13 colors). 42. A hand-tufted wool rug I simply can't believe is available on Amazon. Guests are gonna think you discovered this one-of-a-kind piece while hunting through dozens of handmade rugs at an outdoor market they must have missed. The high-quality woven design and sharp collection of colors are simply to dye for. I love it, and I must have it. Promising review: "This is gorgeous and good quality. It's colorful without being too much. The wool is soft and the pile is thick enough to feel substantial underfoot. I have noticed no shedding in the week since we laid it out. Didn’t smell much out of the wrapping and even that dissipated quickly. I am so happy with this, especially at this price!" — J. Labonte Get the 3' x 5' from Amazon for $59.99 (available in 11 sizes). 43. A one-arm lounger that'll look casual and oh-so cool laying around your living room. This three-piece set is modular, meaning you can arrange each piece any way you'd like. Small apartment-havers, rejoice! Promising review: "We love our new couch! It's so cozy and tidy. It also looks so modern! The modular design allowed us to fit it to our kind of goofy living room in a way that made it look unique and SO cool. Love!" — Abbie Z. Get it from Burrow for $959 (originally $1,199; available in six colors and three leg finishes). 44. A 32-piece wall sticker set of cheery tangerine leaves that are gonna show off your fresh take on decor by instantly improving any bland beige walls. Promising review: "Love! I’ve been using decals to brighten up boring spaces for a while. So far these are my favorite. They're super easy to put together. They stick to the wall super well and they look great! I ended up buying five packages to cover the entire wall and had about two sheets left over. I love my new bedroom!" — Brynn Delgado Get it from Amazon for $6.99 . 45. A pair of linen café curtains reviewers use both over their windows as a way to create privacy (while still getting light!) *and* as a gorgeous upgrade to unsightly storage spaces. If you find yourself glaring down at your litter box or the unorganized shoe storage beside your sofa, set these curtains up and hide that all away *while* making your living room look cottagecore cozy! Promising review: "Very pretty curtains! I love how they are thick enough for some privacy yet still let the sunshine in. I chose the taupe striped so I can transition my kitchen for the fall, but think they will look pretty all year long." — Stacy Get them from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in three sizes and 18 colors/styles). 46. An abstract table lamp with two cool light orbs that'll give your room a modern glow — complementing photographs, framed art, and elevating your beloved King of the Hill poster tenfold. Promising review: "This is a beautiful lamp. It's great; modern and fashionable! Goes great with my living room!" — Felipe Reyes Get it from Amazon for $179.99 (available in four colors). 47. A Samsung Frame TV that boasts an improved anti-reflexion matte display (making your art displays look more lifelike) and 100% color volume thanks to Quantum Dot technology. What does that mean? If this TV had existed back then, we could all have actually SEEN the night scenes in Game of Thrones season eight. Imagine that. Am I still bitter about Season 6? Yes. Am I totally invested in House of The Dragon anyway? Also yes. Promising review: "After months of research, we finally decided to get the Frame for our newly renovated kitchen and this did not disappoint! We mounted a media box behind the TV in the wall so everything is sleek and cordless. The picture quality is amazing and I simply adore the art subscription, there are SO many beautiful choices. On top of that, I can easily upload family photos. This is well worth the money." — Lindsey Get the 55-inch version from Amazon for $1,497.99 . 48. And finally, an interactive routine board from Charmspring — this unreasonably cute calendar is a great visual for your living room, keeping your kids' schedule within eyesight so they don't get overwhelmed by surprise events and expectations. I have one of these springboards! This kid-friendly daily calendar is a gift for A-type parents and unorganized souls alike. The illustrated tiles are kid-friendly, so they can put their activities on the board all by themselves. Discuss the day with your kiddo as they put it together — this added control helps them feel in charge of their schedule, making changes throughout the day feel less daunting.
