Mirror, Mirror on the...

Mirrored furniture is the best investment piece for a small space, with the reflection of image and light the spaces feel larger and brighter.

I need a mirrored furniture piece in my life! I am drawn to the pieces with a bit of extra oomph, like this circle feature on these beautiful buffets.

If you want one of these buffets for yourself I have found them at Adorn Homewares $1,800 or Interiors Online $1,320.

A Little more Mirrored inspiration, IF you needed further convincing:

Decisions decisions! Do you have any favourite Mirrored Furniture pieces?

Goldilocks's and the Bench...

I have been looking for a bench to sit under the large beach picture I just installed in our living room {Pic below}. Check out Mr Bench Via Concrete and honey, this beauty captures exactly what I had in mind! Not too high, not too long and not too wide {as Goldilocks's says it is just right!}

Ho hum the search continues unless someone has any Ideas where I might find one?

A picture of the area in mind:

From the Catwalk to the Lounge room

I don't think it is a secret that I have a love for everything handbags, in a life before the home decorating obsession I would spend every last penny on these babies (Not so much shoes as I am a size 42, damn the slim european sizing).

I had a little chuckle to myself when Perusing HFOC at few of quilted pieces that I found interesting.

Thom Felicia Furniture

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:

You can see the rest of the collection here. If you need help with pricing, drop us a line.

Pretty Cocktail Ottomans

We love, love using cocktail ottomans instead of cocktail tables.  It's a much softer look, plus you have more versatility with it.  For example, if you were to get bored with it you can always upholster it, put nailhead trims around it, change the fabric on it, make it tufted or untutfed...You get the idea.

Here are some that we kinda like from Jessica Charles.  They run between $900-1000 depending on fabric.

This round cocktail ottoman is our favorite.  You can get it skirted, or un-skirted as shown below.

If you like to design your own, Vanguard Furniture has a good program for personalized, customized ottoman. You can find it here.   Contact us if you need help with it.

Cool Leather Sectional

We were perusing through our old copies of Metropolitan Home today--oh man we miss that magazine!

Anyway, as we were looking through the pictures we were struck with how many clean-lined, cool living room scenes we find in Met Home.  We thought this leather sectional fits in really well with that look, don't you?

The sectional is made by Moroni. We love this line. The leather is so supple and soft and comfortable. The construction is really nice too, firm but not too firm...Just the way it supposed to be.

You can find the  sectional here. It costs about $5K including shipping, but if you are nice, there a nice coupon that you can use (hint:  it's quite substantial).

Email us and tell us you find this item via our blog. We'll email you the secret code.

Five Adorable Side Tables

We have this thing for side tables.  They are so functional!  You can put them next to a reading chair, a chaise lounge, or between two occasional chairs.  They make a perfect place to set down a book and a drink.  They are small so it's easy to move them around.  Most of all, they are not too expensive, so you can swap them out whenever you feel like it.

Here are five of our favorites:

This one is from Global Views.  It's about $650.

This one is a new piece from Arteriors.  It's about $800.

This one is also from Arteriors.  It's $500.

This one is from Arteriors as well.  It's $700. 

This one is a new one from Global Views.  It's $550. The top is marble.

We'll be putting these up on our site soon (sorry, we say that a lot, but we are just so DARN busy!).  Drop us a line if you need help with it.

Really Cute Bed for Kids

The other day we were shopping for a gift for a kid's room, and golly, everything is blue or pink or yellow. What's up with these three colors anyway? Did someone decide a long time ago that these are defacto kid colors and the whole industry just follow suit?

Frankly we're a little tired of pink and blue. Here are some alternatives that we think would be really nice for kids or teenagers. They are great focal points and you can build themes around them...






The furniture is from Guildmaster (we would have listed the link here but it's for the trade only so it won't do you any good, sorry). Prices for the headboards run from $800 for a twin to $1200 for a queen. Email us if you need help.

Colorful Upholstery Furniture from CR Laine

One of our biggest complaints about American furniture manufacturers is how BORING their furniture can be. Year after year you see this same old stuff--they call it classic but we think they are just unimaginative. We're talking about brown, dark wood furniture, heavy upholstery in taupe and cream, plain styling. The sad thing is, 80% of households have this stuff. Why? Because we don't have lots of choices.

So we were really happy to see some colors this seasons from some of the old-school uphoslterers. They are finally getting it! Who wants to be surrounded by drab all the time! Give us some vibrancy and happiness! Give us colors!

Here are some from CR Laine that we kinda like. This company makes great upholstery furniture. Most of their stuff is fairly standard (as you will see from the web site), but here are some jewels:
