I've reported extensively on bird motifs in home decor, and I'm wondering if you think that this trend is over, or still alive and well. Regardless, I'm not taking down my favorite bird mobile.
I love this set of bridal shower invitations ($14.50 for a set of 12), in part because it reminds me a little of my recent trend alert. The design is simple, classical, and absolutely beautiful. Just send in the details of your bridal shower, and within a few days you'll have your invitation sent to you. You can specify numbers of invitations, and they'll be printed on 100% recycled card stock with matching envelopes. I have a bridal shower coming up myself, and I think I may have found the perfect card . . .
Even though it would be rare to find one of his pieces that would fit into my home's Bazaar Style-oriented design aesthetic, I still can't help but admire Karim Rashid and covet his space-age designs.
I'm definitely loving his Poly chair ($340), which looks like a clever cross between my beloved Louis Ghost Chair and the Blu Dot Real Good Chair. Like the Ghost chair, the Poly is made of polycarbonate. Apparently, the chair was in the works for two years, with three different prototypes created to determine which design offered the most comfort, the perfect degree of inclination, and the most durability. The Poly has already won two international awards, the Chicago Athenaeum’s Good Design Award and the Red Dot Design Award. Source
I love the idea of creating a small room in the great outdoors.
I can just imagine how magical this stand of trees is going to feel when the sun goes down over the savanna. Can't you? Source
If you've ever wallpapered a room on your own, you probably know that it can be a time-consuming and frustrating task. But, I love wallpaper so! Wallpapering just one accent wall though, or even a ceiling, is a small but effective change that's not so much of a pain in the butt! It helps if the paper you choose is affordable, too, because those rolls can add up. Alas, I bring you the Mibo Clacket Lane Grey Wallpaper ($69, reduced from $138). The slender branches and demure birds on this design will work equally as well in a midcentury home as a mod Victorian. Bring out the cranberry dots by painting some picture frames or upholstering a chair to match, and you'll see your place quickly shaping up.
Do You Have "Decoration" Towels? We've all encountered them — fancy towels meticulously rolled up in baskets on someone's bathroom counter or hanging beside a shower. They're nice and all, but a little too nice to actually use, so we end up wiping our hands dry on our own clothing, wondering why the hell anyone would bother placing "off-limits" towels near a fully functional sink.
Celebs. We want to look like them, dress like them, meet them, discuss them, know everything about them, and
sometimes, be them! If you're a loyal Casa reader, you've probably seen my This Just In and Coveted Crib posts, which give you a little sneak peek into their homes. But, have you thought about how much they're spending on these decadent digs? I have! So, I've rounded up 20 celebrity homes ranging from $999,999 to $2,999,000 for you to drool over. Check out this slideshow to see how much Johnny Depp dropped on his 150-year-old estate in the English countryside and first-time-buyer Lauren Conrad leveraged for her home on the Hollywood flats!
