Imported from Paris, this 1950s Glaces Cart ($3,800) is a fun and unusual find. Whether you have a thing for ice cream street vendors or just crave unusual element in your home or garden, this cart will fit the bill.
So, for this latest How Would You post, I'd like you to think outside the home-decorating box and find some creative ways to repurpose this admittedly unusual object. Could you fit it in your home? How about your garden? Maybe you could send your kids out to start their first business? Leave a comment below and let me know how you'd fit this ice cream cart into your home or garden. Source
Although Love Shack month is officially over, I still have to ask if you love to love this Urban Outfitters Love Pillowcase Set ($24). To me, it looks like a bad photocopy that is bleeding, which is far from romantic. I'd hate to skew your response, but I wouldn't choose to lay my head on it, let alone bring it near my house.
I love painted furniture when it's done well, and this Patina Firenze Chest (for sale to the trade) is done perfectly. From its ebony canvas to its fiery red blossoms, it's absolutely stunning. Though these aren't colors I ever decorate with, I'd be happy to design a room around this chest.
This gracefully painted piece is only one of many in the Patina collection, whose designs are based on 18th century Venetian painted furniture. Do you love it as much as I do?
I hope that you spent some time this month getting your love shack romance ready. Even though we're finally at the end of February, though, doesn't mean that it's time to stop loving your casa. In fact, I want to see it, so I can fall in love with it, too! Is your casa looking lovely? Then show it off in my group on TeamSugar called Su Casa, where readers can share snapshots and stories related to home decorating, crafts, organizing, and gardening.
A Su Casa post could be anything from a photo of your favorite room to a tiny nook you're tickled by. Think of it as a Look Book for home style. If I see something I like in Su Casa, I might end up featuring it on CasaSugar, so don't be surprised if you get an email from me!

Sweetpeabrina shared some cute photos of her kitties in the Pets in the House TeamSugar group. I love this photo of Penny, especially because Sweetpeabrina notes that Penny's always up to no good. She explains this shot by saying,
We were watching some celebrity gossip show like TMZ on TV or E! News one Saturday morning. She adores celebrity gossip. I think it's impossible to keep kitties off of furniture. Well, maybe not everyone's kitties, just Penny. She's on the bed, on the ironing board, on the top of the kitchen cabinets, on top of the TV, on the couches, inside the wine rack, in my basket of fabric, behind the washing machine, and under the bathroom sink. She's everywhere but in her bed!
