Get Your Yard Ready For Company (in Just a Day!)

When the editors of Pottery Barn's Inside & Out blog challenged me to style some of their new outdoor accessories at home, I knew my barren yard would be put to the test.

When the editors of Pottery Barn's Inside & Out blog challenged me to style some of their new outdoor accessories at home, I knew my barren yard would be put to the test. I'd been aching to create an outdoor space where I could sip cocktails while catching up with friends, but my commitment-phobe tendencies always ruled out traditional dining sets or gigantic loungers. Small, dispersed trees in my yard made stringing lights nearly impossible. I started with four leather Mexican patio chairs and an unflattering floodlight, but with the help of some accessories and simple styling tricks, I managed to turn my outdoor fantasy into a reality.

Desire/Acquire: Faux Fur Throw

I bought a faux fur comforter from Pottery Barn about eight years ago — oh I am such a trendsetter! — and it's so gosh darn cozy.

I bought a faux fur comforter from Pottery Barn about eight years ago — oh I am such a trendsetter! — and it's so gosh darn cozy. Even though in the wintertime, I tend to walk around my apartment wearing the thing like a robe and vehemently refuse to take it off, I am tempted to buy an additional faux fur throw for my living room. The smaller size seems more convenient, practical, and well, less embarrassing. That said, I'm not sure whether I want to shell out $99 for Pottery Barn's current Faux-Fur Throw. So I've been looking for a more affordable alternative, and whadya know? I found a much cheaper option! Want to see it?

Sale Alert: Pottery Barn White Sale

There was a time when the term "white sale" referred to discounts on bed linens, which were only available in white in the late 1800s.

There was a time when the term "white sale" referred to discounts on bed linens, which were only available in white in the late 1800s. Now it refers to practically anything for the bedroom or bathroom — music to my ears! Pottery Barn has kicked off its White Sale, offering up to 25 percent off bedroom and bath essentials including towels, linens, bedroom furniture, and bathroom accessories and fixtures for a limited time. Pretty sweet, huh?

I adore the Caldwell Bed ($650-$950), which is beautifully crafted and totally timeless. It would look fabulous with the classic Grand Embroidered Duvet and Sham ($20-$100). What do you have your eye on in the sale? Tell me by commenting below!
