Ask Casa: Petrified Wood and Ceramic White Stools?

Hi CasaSugar! I am working on wrapping up my living room and would love to get a petrified wood stool and a ceramic white stool similar to those in Monique Lhuillier's house (that I am totally in love with), which was featured on an Elle Decor cover a year ago.

Hi CasaSugar!
I am working on wrapping up my living room and would love to get a petrified wood stool and a ceramic white stool similar to those in Monique Lhuillier's house (that I am totally in love with), which was featured on an Elle Decor cover a year ago.

I've talked to Hudson Furniture in New York — they have the petrified wood but they sell at $1,200-2,000 each. I'm looking for something in the $800 range. As far as the ceramic stool, I've seen one from West Elm, but I'm not sure about the quality. I'm willing to spend up to $500 on something nicer.


Thanks in advance for your suggestion!

Crave Worthy: Esther Derkx Improved Crockery Platters

These Esther Derkx Improved Crockery Platters ($45) are from Esther Derkx, who screenprints quirky images onto vintage dishware.

These Esther Derkx Improved Crockery Platters ($45) are from Esther Derkx, who screenprints quirky images onto vintage dishware. Esther completes this task with such skill that you'd swear those images were always meant to be paired. Her retro images of gymnasts, divers, and dancers give old crockery a flirty lift. These are one of a kind, so while you'll never have a matched set, why would you want to, with such an amazing variety of images to pick from? Best yet, if you prefer a specific style or pattern, you can request it and she'll do her best to accommodate you.

Etsy Find: Modern Porcelain Vase

As Shoshona Snow says, her Modern Porcelain Vase ($28) is "modern, eye catching and just too cute to pass up."


As Shoshona Snow says, her Modern Porcelain Vase ($28) is "modern, eye catching and just too cute to pass up." It's clearly inspired by mid-century designs, and also has a wonderful, tactile quality. I love its cool olive-y green color, clean lines and smooth curves. Perfect for your favorite fresh flowers, or as storage for that unnecessary collection of kitchen spatulas. Check out Shoshona's shop for other one-of-a-kind ceramics in vibrant turquoise, deep rose pink, cool cobalt blue, and juicy orange colors.
