Maybe Harold and Kumar were busy?

This week, Stewart and Wang stopped by the White Castle in Herald Square, New York City to help promote slider-and-onion scented candles made by Nest Fragrances. {The Cut} The candles will be sold at White Castle locations nation-wide for $13 each, which The Cut notes is about how much 14 White Castle sliders cost.

The proceeds from the candles will go to Autism Speaks, which is certainly something we can support, but does anyone honestly want their house to smell like White Castle? Weâ€ve seen candles scented like other foods such as cookies, and while White Castleâ€s onion-laid sliders do smell delicious, the fragrance permeating an entire space for a long period of time would probably be a bit much – or at least make you unnecessarily hungry. Whatever happened to good old jasmine and apple-cinnamon candles?

Besides that, isnâ€t it a little strange that Martha Stewart is partnering with White Castle, even if it is for a good cause? The domestic diva gave a speech at White Castle in Herald Square about the charity and White Castle (including how this was not her first visit to the fast food chain) while greasy sliders and martinis were passed through the crowd. A Christmas tree decorated with White Castle cartons was also in attendance. {Elle} Forgive us, but Ms. home-cooked meals and crafty decorations seems a bit out of place in this situation.

In any case, along with the charitable aspect, the other good thing about the burger-scented candles is at least theyâ€re relatively inexpensive – unlike many other off-beat, IEJ-featured products.

Unless, of course, it’s a French grain sack.

The latest trend in interior design? Reusing the humble grain sack to create a look that’s quintessentially Rustic French Chic. From small boutiques (like this fabulous California gem, 3 Fine Grains) to chains like Pottery Barn, Restoration Hardware, and Anthropologie, the sack has made a comeback in a big way. And even if you can’t afford the real deal (like this divine chair…sigh), you can always get that French Country look by incorporating natural fibers, lettered prints, and stripped furniture into your home.

Mike Farrell's Colorful White House, Made of Crayons

Although the explosion of colors, patterns, and textures that designers exhibited this year is certainly buzz-worthy (especially the somber colors and rich patterns of Julian Chichester), it’s The Wizard of Oz-inspired art exhibit that everyone’s talking about. “A Trip to Ahhs,” an exhibit by Mike Farrell that re-imagines Dorothy’s journey as an allegory of today’s post-Bush world, shook up the industry-only trade show with a palpable creative energy. With its use of unusual and recycled media – old shoes, post-it notes, crayons, and even toast – “A Trip to Ahhs” is an extraordinary display of color and whimsy we only wish we had been invited to see!
