We have a clue about Furniture

My eyeballs almost exploded when I spotted the Not Knot – Turk’s Head pillow by Ragnheiður Ösp Sigurðardóttir. Love at first sight! Then, I discovered there were three more styles: Ashley’s , Good Luck , and Round Brocade (pictured below, respectively).

This is a seriously beautiful ornament. Well, at least I think its seriously beautiful. Would you agree?

My only gripe is that it’s $28.00. For one ornament. Now, I don’t think that $28.00 is crazy, crazy expensive for one ornament that I really, really love, but I do wonder – how much I really, really love it. $28 much of love?

Here’s what I’m thinking: You can buy 50 colorful and sparkly ornaments for $15.00 at Target. Granted, each one individually is not as pretty as the ornament from Anthropologie. But together they can be quite lovely. So, is it wrong to buy one single ornament for $28.00? Especially when you only use it for 3-4 weeks out of the year….

My real question here is: what kind of holiday decor shopper are you? We talk a whole lot about shopping for gifts – but what about decor?

Do you splurge on holiday decor or do you stick to a budget and decorate as inexpensively as possible? Or would you buy the case of 50 for $15 and then splurge on the $28 Anthro ornament just because you can’t get it out of your head?!

The New York-based industrial designer and RISD graduate, Louie Rigano is well on his way to taking over the design world. Not only does he create well designed and aesthetically pleasing things, he also puts a lot of thought behind his work and concepts. The Fan Lamp was inspired by a traditional Japanese folding fan and made of bamboo and washi paper. Rigano’s design uses the same assembly and materials as the traditional fan, but by simply bending the bamboo, a new idea is formed. The washi paper used is both durable and practical and it diffuses light beautifully.

LIGHT_NESS is a lighting concept by Amsterdam-based company UXUS that is an interactive project that puts the end user in control of the design. The lamps are made of a frame, neon orange tape and a cord. The final product is created by wrapping the tape around the frame to create the lampshade. UXUS developed the concept where user and designer roles become interchangeable; the consumer dictates what the product should look like and the designer is limited to simply providing the material

Hello everyone – hope that you had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday!

As my parents have been living in London for the past four years, we have spent three out of those four years celebrating Thanksgiving there, this year being the third. Soon after landing on Wednesday morning, we headed to Harrod’s to get some fun decor for our table, which you see above. (Have you ever been to Harrod’s? It just may be the best place on this Earth.)

And how about those Chilewich placemats? Just enough sparkle for a holiday table, yet versatile enough for everyday use. Plus, we found the perfect red and gold napkin rings to pull the red chairs into the design. This was the first time we’ve ever attempted a decorated table and we think it came out quite fabulous – would you agree?!

Also, since they’re also discussing what it’s like to have a Thanksgiving in London over at Apartment Therapy and about the pin feathers the British leave in their turkeys – I thought I’d share a photo of our own turkey:

If you look closely, you can see little black specks which are indeed the pin feathers. The first year we celebrated in London, the turkey was full of those little things and my mom told us all that it was rosemary! She later told us all what they really are and thankfully we’re able to eat around it. Regardless of the feathers, their turkey is arguably better than it is here in the States.

Where did you spend Thanksgiving this year? What did your table look like?

Materials: 75 5/8″ Besta shelf unit, Antonius clothes rail, 4 3/8″ Grundtal hooks, screws Description: We needed a narrow piece of furniture to hold our various coats and jackets (you need quite a variety in Seattle) that did not mount to the wall. The Besta shelf was the perfect fit for our pocket-sized entryway. After building the frame, we lowered all the shelves to the bottom to be used for shoes, bags, etc. The Antonius clothes rail was a bit long, so after chopping that to the appropriate length, we then attached it to the ceiling of the shelf used long screws drilled in from the top. We chose to leave the back off the shelf because we needed access to the light switches on that wall.
