Our distaste for fast fashion has not only affected our clothing choices, but our decorating choices as well. Capitalizing upon our millennial desire for style, exclusivity, and adaptability (who says we’re a difficult bunch?) is The Inside, a direct-to-consumer home brand from Christiane Lemieux of DwellStudio. The company launched on Tuesday, September 26, with made-to-order furniture and exclusive capsule collections from the creative minds of designers including Clare V. and Peter Som. So if you’re looking to decorate your first home in a style unlike any other home before (or after) it, The Inside may be a good place to start your shopping.

Unlike most furniture stores, The Inside maintains exactly zero inventory. That means that every single piece is made to your specifications by way of a digital design process that promises unique aesthetics at attainable prices. And even though you’re getting your furniture custom made, The Inside still promises delivery in six to 14 days. How is this possible? Much of the design and manufacturing process is contingent upon virtual manufacturing, a process that employs 3D models to create products faster and cheaper. Of course, if you want some help designing furniture, you can always turn to one of the capsule collections from guest experts, while still expecting the same price point. Most pieces from The Inside retail for around $300.

“We want living spaces to be the backdrop of people’s lives and every bit as unique as their individual personalities,” Lemieux, CEO and founder of The Inside, said in a statement. “The Inside will transform the way people shop for furniture and interiors by making it less onerous, infusing as much joy and personality into the buying experience as the products themselves. Leveraging technology, we can for the first time detach value from price and create an assortment of styles for any mood.”

At launch, The Inside will have around 800 SKUs (which is to say, furniture choices) in made-to-order printed fabric, providing a wealth of design options.

“Our ability to bring designs directly from the runway to someone’s home will be a shock for the industry,” Lemieux concluded. “We want to give customers something very special, very quickly, and at a price that makes refreshing their style attainable.”

Tesla Powerwall is the best solar, home backup, and EV charging companion
Tesla Powerwall 3 installed on outside of home

Solar power, and having solar panels on your home, is a fantastic way to conserve energy and cut down on power bills, especially if you live somewhere sunny like Florida or California. There's just one glaring issue. When the grid goes down you still lose power because of how it's connected. Your solar panels cannot generate enough energy or keep it stored to keep your power on. So, essentially, your power setup doesn't offer much benefit there, unless you get a home power backup system. More specifically, something like a Tesla Powerwall is a compact home battery that stores energy generated from the grid. That energy is then used as a backup when traditional grid power is unavailable.

To make it even more clear, with a Tesla Powerwall, the power stays on even during a major blackout or outage. It's whole-home backup, too, which means you can power your lights, appliances, electronics, you name it. If you've ever had to throw away an entire refrigerator's worth of spoiled food because of a multi-day outage -- like I have -- you'll certainly appreciate the option to keep your appliances running. But that's not all it can do. The Tesla Powerwall is an excellent companion for Tesla EV owners, creating an entire smart ecosystem of power. Let's explore.

It has an HD camera, which isn't a ton, but it does have an impressive 130-degree field of view. The MyQ also connects through dual-band Wi-Fi for a better connection, and it even has two-way communication, which is impressive for something at this price bracket.
