silhouettes luxe silk & wool pillow

Hello. I love Thomas Paul’s pillows. Especially the silhouettes (I really want the white plate with the silhouette of the woman, but it seems to have sold out everywhere). And here they are on sale, in a few different color combinations. Aqua is shown here (front and back) but there’s also orange and green combinations as well. Don’t they make you happy?

Hans Wegner’s ch07 lounge

Truly a sculptural furniture piece. It was designed in the late sixties, and it’s worth mentioning that an original version sold at a Christie’s auction for $20,000 in 1999.

It’s made of a plywood shell with cushions on both the seat and back.

[Thanks Bo!]

black hands wall clock

For those of you that want nothing but the essentials, these hands will certainly help you tell the time minimalistically. Is that a word? Or, you could get creative and make your own markers for each hour. You could also perhaps go to your local hardware or craft store and get something similar for less, but who wants to do that when there’s the ease of online shopping?

Short hand measures 16″; long hand is 21″. Black, powder-coated metal. Uses one AA battery, not included.

textured linen window panel

If you’re looking for some affordable window coverings these are on super-sale. Since select colors and sizes are available, you may find it necessary to buy a size longer than you need to get a color you want. Here’s a tip: Hem the curtains at the top of the curtain. This removes the need for pressing and making the seams look perfect because the seams at the bottom are what your eye goes to naturally.
