LANDCARPET Hong Kong by Florian Pucher

Remember that really unique rug we featured before where it looked like land you saw while peaking out of an airplane window? Designer Florian Pucher is back with a new, one-of-a-kind rug with a completely different look called LANDCARPET Hong Kong , made specifically to be auctioned off at Dorotheum in November. The new version displays Victoria Harbour and mainland China, alongside the island districts of Hong Kong.

Seesaw Bookshelf by BCXSY

Although not a new design, I just discovered it so it’s new to me! Japanese company BCXSY’s Seesaw bookshelf is a pretty neat concept. I bet you could put books you’ve read on one end and ones you’ haven’t read yet on the other. Which side would be heavier for you? BCXSY is the multidisciplinary design studio of designers  Boaz Cohen  and  Sayaka Yamamoto . How would you arrange this shelf?

Faucets

Faucets for bathrooms aren’t something I spend too much time thinking about, but I’m thinking maybe that should change. After all, sometimes it’s all about the details!

A modern faucet can really add to the style of the bathroom, especially when paired with a funky sink. What I like most about faucets, or taps as they are also called, is that it’s a really easy swap. You can swap out the tap in the sink and the shower for a coordinated and updated look. I might have to look into this over the weekend…how about you?

While I’m at it – I might look for a bowl-like sink as in the images above. What do you think about modern taps and sinks? If you’re interested in switching out your own, you can see different types of taps here.

Gorgeous Spaces: A Beverly Hills Housewife

If you watched the premiere of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills this week, then you likely saw the tour of housewife Lisa Vanderpump’s new home. Although it leans to more traditional/transitional styles than modern, I think it’s still appropriate to share here. Because it’s absolutely beautiful!

I don’t know if I’m more envious of her unbelievable closet or her pink chair at the otherwise white dining table. I guess it would be the closet, because I can always pick myself up a pink chair of my own!

You can view the full tour of her home here – there are 32 photos of it, with tons of mirrored furniture throughout – my dream come true! Most of the home is bright and white, but there are several rooms with dark wood floors that provide the perfect contrast. And the outdoor space – forget it!

Which room is your favorite in this gorgeous home?

Get Out! “In”gage Chair Turns Nature Into A Chair

Designed by Adrian Wu , Wen Han, and Rongxin Zhang, the Ingage Chair is meant to inspire the user to interact or to “engage” with nature. They’ve modified your average lounge chair to appear submerged in the ground making the user have direct contact with the grass. By rethinking outdoor furniture and bringing the user closer to the earth, their hopes are that it will encourage people to enjoy their surroundings and Mother Nature more.

Product Pick: Fernando

It shouldn’t be a surprise to see yet another mirrored product pick! I didn’t even notice it was mirrored at first, so I’ll try to start switching things up for these posts!

Anyway, the Fernando Chair and the Fernando Bench are a different kind of mirrored, with unique colors that reflect throughout. Designed by London-based Julian Mayor, these chairs are initially made with scale models on the computer and then folded and welded into life.

They’re so gorgeous that I would be afraid to sit on them! What do you think of Fernando??

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??

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?
