Metallic Pillows

Being that a Christmas song just came on the overheard radio in a store I was in, I guess it’s time to admit that the holidays are near. Only about 7.5 weeks, is that right? I don’t mind that the holidays are coming, I’m just not looking forward to the cold weather. And shopping. What are your thoughts on the fast-approaching holiday season?

Luckily, West Elm has some fabulous and affordable metallic pillows that can coordinate with your decor for the holidays and then camp out and shine bright for the rest of the year. I’m loving the way the silver and gold reflect off the candle holders and other metallic accessories in both of the rooms above. I had been avoiding looking at any West Elm catalogs or visiting their website because I knew I’d find 109 things that I need to buy. These three pillows are going on that list!

Have you started getting your decorations ready or are you in holiday denial??

Twist-Grille Stool by Yen Hao Chen and Hui-Ying Lu

The fourth piece in the twisted grille series, this stool by Yen Hao Chen and Hui-Ying Lu use twisted metal that is reminiscent of the traditional Taiwanese window grill. The legs of the stool are composed of three triangular elements, and the twisting of the metal adds structural strength to the piece. I like the way that the metal resembles falling ribbons.

At the very least, you probably recognize her innovative chandeliers, which are a unique cross between industry and nature. Adelman founded her New York City studio in 2006. Today she has a team of 15 and a network of local artisans that manufacture each piece to order. Yes, those glass globes are all hand blown in Brooklyn

Love This Look: Embossed Ceiling Tiles

Tile on the floor is admittedly not one of my absolute faves, but tile on the ceiling – why not?!

In the kitchen above, silver embossed ceiling tiles separate the kitchen area from the connected room – which I’m assuming is a dining area of some sort. The kitchen is not that spacious in size, so the ceiling tiles give it a personality of its own, separate from the rest of the home. Plus, it coordinates nicely with the appliances, island counter top and other accents throughout the kitchen.

What do you think of these ceiling tiles? Do you love this look or would you prefer a different look on your ceiling?

PROOFF #006 SideSeat Desk, Chair and Storage in One

PROOFF recently launched the #006 SideSeat that was designed by the Netherlands-based duo Studio Makkink & Bey . It’s the latest item they’ve released that begs its users to be “flexible with their working space.” The multifunctional design is not just a chair, it also features a desk and storage. The compact workstation resembles those all-in-one desks you might remember from high school, but this one has much more style. The seat swivels with you so you can use it as a full-on workspace with your laptop in front of you or sit so that you can jot things down with the tabletop to your right side

FOLDONE Table by Novae Architecture

Italian firm Novae Architecture churns out a variety of design including both architecture and furniture, with their latest being the FOLDONE Table. The table appears to be a series of folds from one continuous piece of steel, which creates functional areas capable of storing your things. The open, faceted piece not only looks good, but the void creates an overall lightness to the design. Leave it empty or fill it with books or other items you want close by.
