Love it! - Metal desk

If you weren't a note writer before, doesn't this blackened metal desk make you want to catch up on your correspondence? Totally old school, I can almost smell the wax seal!

Style Story - Oriental vanities

I've seen these antique and reproduction oriental cabinets for some time now, but I've never seen them used as sink vanities - genius! I don't know why it never occurred to me, but I love how GreenteaDesign.com takes traditional cabinets and outfits them for a truly zen, powder room experience!

Market Profile - www.DianeJamesHome.com

A year ago I blogged about Diane James' faux flower and plant arrangements. At the time, in order to purchase her beautiful creations you had to find a local retailer - not always the easiest to do. Well you can imagine how elated I was when she notified me that you can now order directly online through her new website - www.DianeJamesHome.com. If you're like me, you've at some point made a promise to buy fresh flowers weekly - a little way to treat yourself while beautifying your home. Well after a week or two, I never seem to keep it up - dieing flowers and money I can't justify throwing away. But with Diane's realistic faux-fauna, they'll pay for themselves. Adorn your foyer table, dresser top, or my favorite - on a beautiful tank tray in the powder room!

Love it! - TonicHome.com Table lamp

This is such a fantastic lamp on so many levels - the traditional pedestal base balanced by the simple cylindrical shape. Add to that the glossy lacquer finish for a bit of glamour and then brown banding to break up the stark white base. Perfection!

Love it! - Corkscrew

The festive holidays will inevitably have you drinking quite a bit (never drink and drive please) so why not impress your guests with this georgous replica of an antique design by Fredrick Whelan circa 1881.

Style Story - Wallpaper

Wallpaper is back with a vengeance - and they're not your grandmother's either. If you're bored with solid colors, wallpaper is a perfect alternative to add texture and pattern to an otherwise bland space. If you're daring enough to cover the entire room, go for it, but keep your furniture and accessories minimal. And if you just want a touch of punch, wallpaper one accent wall. For these fabulous options below and more, www.Burkedecor.com has you covered, no pun intended!

Love it! - Yellow console table

The other day while searching for the November 5th NY Times (no luck) I came across CB2, so thought I'd instead search for something great to blog about. As soon as I saw this glossy yellow console I stopped in my tracks. Beyond the fact that it's my favorite color, the design and price were minimal as well! Never be afraid to add a splash of color - whenever I see my bright baby-blue lacquered side tables, or my vibrant-red pagoda lantern, I secretly smile inside :)

Love it! - Horchow.com circles

If you thought this matching mirror and console table were metal, you'd be mistaken. Carved acacia wood and finished with gold accents to give it some sheen, make them even more fantastic. The repeated circles, or any organic pattern for that matter will bring a soothing vibe to the eye. But no need to buy both, each can totally stand-out on their own!

Love it! - Asian candle holder

So I've been eyeing these pillar holders for weeks now. With their Asian pedestal base, scalloped top and Chinese-Red finish aged to perfection, they'll spice up any space. On the dining table or in the bedroom, there isn't a room their aura can't illuminate.
