We're crazy about this new beach shell chandelier from Currey & Co. Isn't it marvelous? Can you see this with a white linen couch and white-washed floor? You'll need a very high ceiling though. This chandelier is huge!
We're digging this new barstool from Nuevo. Look at the base. Isn't it the coolest ever?
The barstool comes in black, brown and white leather. The base is made of solid stainless steel. It sells for $400/each.
We are digging this bed from Noir Trading. It's so unusual, don't you think? Upholstered in burlap, It's available in queen, ca king & eastern king.
We don't see new vendors very often in the last few years. We imagine starting any new business, and especially home furnishing business, is tough. This is why we were so happy to see a new one that we really like at the High Point show -- Eloquence Inc.
Based out of Santa Monica, CA, this company makes antique reproductions that are really, really pretty. It's the kind of furniture that you want to have if you were living in, say, an Ialian villa or something. Although in Los Angeles, where we have many Spanish Mediteranean homes that were built in the 1920s, these would look amazing as well.
Here are some samples:
We think the large murals that you see in Starbuck or Barnes and Nobles are really cool. We always wish we can get something like that at home. It will work great if you have a large loft with tall, tall ceilings, don't you think? So much cooler than wallpapers.
We found a source today for it that we thought you might want to check out. They do mostly commercial installations but you can buy them for residential as well.
Here are some samplings:
We're in the process of downsizing from a 4000 sq ft home to a 1200-sq ft loft. Do you know, loft living sounds more romantic than it actually is? We find that we really miss the traditional division of space. We miss having rooms. We miss the privacy!
We've been looking into options of dividing the space. Drapery is one, but do you have any idea how expensive a piece of fabric with four stitching is? It's quite a mystery actually, how much drapery can cost. The other option is to go with a company like the Sliding Door, but they are really pricey too.
We found this company, Loft Wall, today and we thought it might be a good option. They make portable dividers that you can customize the sizing and the panels. They are not cheap but they are not too expensive either. You can visit the web site to download the price list. Keep in mind that the published prices are retail, and no one pays retail!
Here are some samples:
When we go to a really cool restaurant in Miami or Los Angeles we are always envious of the huge, modern planters that they have. It's really hard to find them. Most of the pottery places that we have in our local area sell the traditional planters. If you have a modern home you are kinda out luck.
Anyway, we just found a great source today for huge, commercial modern planters that we thought we'd share with you. They are so cool! We have no idea how much they cost, sorry. But if you are interested drop us a line and we'll get pricing info for you.
Here are some samples:
We haven't seen much from Barbara Barry for a while. She was huge a few years back, with furniture for Baker, fabrics for Kravet and so on. Her stuff was always so expensive though, so it was a nice surprise to see her home accessories collection for Global Views. They are actually reasonable!
The accessories has her signatured subdued colors & clean-lined styles. Here are some examples:
We are loving this pair of bookends from Made Good. It is made in ceramic and finished in a glossy white.
Perfect for a beach house, don't you think?
Happy Friday everybody! It's finally looking like spring in LA this week. OMG it's been the coldest, longest winter ever!
We just got some new silk flower arrangements for spring. Truthfully, we prefer fresh flowers over silk any day, but these look really close to being real, they'll make a pretty good substitute...
We are loving these cute home accessories from Lunares...
You are probably familiar with Thom Felicia from "Queer Eyes for the Straight Guys". Do you remember that show? We kinda miss it from time to time. We don't know any straight guy who watched it though, only straight girls, hoping to fix up their men...
Anyway, Thom Felicia is getting to be a major licensing house. He's doing rugs for Safavieh, fabric for Kravet etc. The latest is a furniture collection from Vanguard Furniture. It's quite lovely and original.
Take a look:
We often wish we were more adventurous than we actually are. Our home is quite boring-- for people who are in the furnishings business. More often than not, it consists of returns, overstock and miscellaneous things that we can't sell in the store. It looks like a darn garage sale, actually.
Okay, so maybe we're exaggerating a little...
But we do play it a bit safe with just plain colors, solid and textures. This is why we live our fantasies via this blog. We just love showing you things that are whimsical and fun.
Like these wallpapers from F Schumacher, for example...
We just uploaded a ton of new home accessories on our store. Here's a quick sampling:
If you have a really sleek & modern kitchen and you want the right kitchenware to go with it, check out the line from Rosendahl. Based in Denmark, they make contemporary European kitchenware that are very, very cool..
Here are some samples:
