ELLE Decor Gears Up For the Launch of Style and Substance
It's a big month for ELLE Decor. Not only is it the magazine's 20th anniversary, but Oct. 28 marks the official launch of the new book Style and Substance: The Best of Elle Decor, written by editor-in-chief Margaret Russell (below).
Weird Furniture: Natural Crystal Chair
Japanese artist Tokujin Yoshioka, who spent years working with Shiro Kuramata and Issey Miyake, and has collaborated with Hermes, Toyota, BMW, and Swarvoski, among others, created this natural crystal chair, titled "Venus." The extraordinary art piece was crystallized over time by submerging a polyester elastomer chair skeleton in an aquarium. Although the chair looks far from comfortable, it's certainly a wonderful example of sustainable design, born out of the laws of nature, not a forest in the Amazon.

Before and After: Pinupsweetheart's Gorgeous Boudoir Walls

I'd like you to hunt down and bookmark garden statues, gazing balls, twinkly lights, and ornaments that you'd love to have in your veggie patch.

Casa Craving Challenge: Styling Shower Curtains
As part of my Spring cleaning routine, I've been casting a critical eye on the shower curtain. It's not in the best of shape, and it's just not very visually interesting either. I think it might be time for a change.
Casa Craving Challenge: Modern White Furniture
Kind of like a man in a dapper suit, I must admit that modern white furniture turns my head. This glossy white West Elm Parsons Desk, for example, is one of my all-time favorite pieces. I was recently shopping with a friend, and at the sight of low, white nesting tables — before I could say "I want that!"
Casa Craving Challenge: Coffee Tables and Cool Alternatives
I'm happy to report that I finally banished our gigantic, awkward, and heavy coffee table to the basement (where it awaits its future owner, who will find it on Craigslist). But now that I've finally rid myself of that albatross, I'm at a loss for somewhere to put that shelter mag and glass of wine.
That's why for this week's Casa Craving Challenge, I'm asking you to hunt down and bookmark your favorite coffee tables.
Casa Craving Challenge: Springy Placemats
I may be overzealous, but after a weekend of wonderful weather here in San Francisco, I get the feeling that Spring has finally sprung. Even if there's still a frost left in store for me, I'd still like to welcome the season into my home, and I'm going to start with my tabletop landscape. So, for this week's Casa Craving Challenge, I'd like you to hunt down and bookmark your favorite springy placemats.
