I want to snuggle up with one of my own this coming winter!!! It’s starting to get colder here in the midwest, and I particularly love this color combination, very modern and sophisticated.

“Designed by La Tete Au Cube and the guys surrounding Jérome Fischbach, this is the ultimate solitude counter measure. It’s so charming and so French, yet it doesn’t take itself too seriously. With 85% wool, it’s nice and cuddly. Polyamide (15%) ensures incredible softness.”

Great new chair from Blu Dot available in black leather, brown leather and robin’s egg blue leather.

I’ve had my eyes on this desk for a while and now it’s on sale. I’m not sure how I feel about the limed blonde wood, but I think a nice coat of white paint (almost lacquer-like) would make it stand out nicely.

In light of the upcoming elections, I couldn’t help posting these cute mugs I stumbled upon as I was browsing for a house-warming gift. Though I’m not going to purchase these, as I’m unwilling to encourage any debates at what will otherwise be a fun party. If I owned them, however, I would certainly look forward to Mrs. Roosevelt looking at me from my cupboard everyday…

I love this so much I’m speechless.

Look! You can glow in the dark.

“Silicon coated and linked by a silver thread to a replacable battery, these little gems are like stardust one wears around the neck. Each light is unique and individually crafted, and unbreakable too.”

New from Jonathan Adler, the Meurice collection is their modern take on bamboo…a wonderful polished nickel “bamboo” frame with a playful top detail. I love the size of this mirror, it would be perfect for a small foyer! Also available in a Brass finish.

Be oh-so clever with this literary leaning cutting board.

“The story behind this unique cutting board is that after cutting your meats or veggies it can be stored alongside your row of cookbooks – and, as a sequal, is ideal for use as a cheese board.”

The industrial feel to this lamp is disarming, you’d think it was any ‘ol lamp, but I suppose the fact it’s from Droog Design collection means we should like it more.

materials: Porcelain, metal.

This could work in so many rooms it’s not even funny.

“Bathroom? Hang your sponge or washcloth below. Bedroom? How ‘bout necklaces or belts or scarves. Foyer? Hang your keys, dog’s leash, cell phone, purse. ”

Here are some elegant alternatives to the regular ol’ jewelry box/drawer organization trays. Take a look at the site to see all the different variations…all quite nice.

“Here is a sleek modular container system to hold your personal treasures. The boxes are made from matte black aluminum and come with lids. They can be used alone or with the optional wool felt inserts. The bottom of the box is covered with a tiny rubber dot pattern to protect surfaces. The boxes neatly stack on your desktop, and come with different printed wrappers so they are great for gift-giving.”

“A stylish new way to organize yourself and transport necessary documents. The Valise can be used as a filing system or an attractive briefcase.” Might not make the best everyday briefcase, but is a great way to transport files around an office.
