I gotta be honest guys, I got up this morning after a late night at Coldplay with nothing on deck to blog about. As I sat here wondering what I was going to post, I started going through my bookmarks and stopped by Room Service to see what was new. I need to be sure to keep them in the forefront of my furniture files because I tend to forget how great their custom Hollywood Regency style items are! Not to mention their client list reads like an issue of US Weekly....

One thing that really caught my eye were these lucite Chiavari chairs. You've seen the classic version of them at probably every wedding you've ever been too, but their slight proportions and faux bamboo styling make it a great chair for a vanity , small desk or cafe table- and in lucite it just ratchets up the coolness factor!
Is this not the happiest, girly sofa you've ever seen?? (Note the nail head trim- I adore how much they love nail heads here!)

The IKEA Expedit bookshelf is one of my favorite items to use in designing a home. I have one in my own office (the green room below) and I love how each cubby can be left open for books or binders or be filled with a drawer or basket to conceal clutter. I spec this item all the time in both small condos or apartments to big million dollar homes- they are sturdy, clean, great design that blends in with traditional or modern decor and is easy to make your own...
This entire wall was crafted from various sizes of Expedit shelves! Amazing!
The Expedit come sin three finishes and various styles and sizes to suit your needs. I am loving the new "uneven" shelving unit below:

I was walking to yoga in the snow yesterday and stopped dead in my tracks in front of the Thos. Moser storefront to gander at this table. In person, the Bremen table is truly stunning- a very simple pedestal table crafted out of cherry (or walnut) and given a modern edge with it's beveled base. For someone who likes the look of the Saarinen Tulip table but finds it too modern and cold, this would be a great (expensive) option!

The new items I'm loving from West Elm:

-These Weinrib-esque zig zag and medallion rugs.

-Ethnic inspired throw pillows

-Ikat slipper chair and storage cube (adorable in a pair at the foot of a bed or under a console table!)

-The bright yellow and green scoop back chairs and small sunflower mirrors.

- Recycled glassware and a pierced ceramic garden stool
